Having fruitfully working out in a summer cottage on a hot summer day, sometimes I really want to relax and hide in the shade of trees from the exhausting sun. As an option, you can put a fabric carpet on the ground or lay out a chat and lie down, but it will be much better if you make a convenient suspended hammock from improvised materials with your own hands.

For the manufacture of a gamak chair for a summer residence, you will need:

1. Before starting work, make planks from a sheet of plywood. To do this, using a jigsaw, cut 16 planks in size 650x100 mm.
2. Pull each bar with sandpaper.
3. Since plywood quickly absorbs moisture, as a result of which mold and insects-frauds appear on it, it is recommended to treat the planks with antiseptics and only then varnish in 2 layers.
4. Having retreated from the edge of the plank 2.5 cm, on both sides, drill through the through holes with a drill. The step should be 5 cm. The diameter of the drill drill should be 8 mm. Do such actions with each plank.
5. When the bar is prepared, you can start assembling the suspended chair. The lacing is best done with separate pieces, and not one general segment of the cord. By connecting 2-3 strips, tie the nodes on the cord and continue to connect new boards. This is done so that in case of accidental damage to the cord, the whole structure does not fall apart. Sold the ends of the cord with a flame of a lighter or match.
6. So, carry out the lacing according to the principle of the boon-crosswise.
7. When you finish the lacing of the last section of the suspended chair, make 4 holes in the plank under the number 2 and 15. This is necessary to suspend the structure.
