Hammocks on the wooden frame,

I decided here on the day of his wife's birthday hang her hammock, especially since she had long wanted. Option stretch between home and hook compartment immediately due beds. At first thought to dig poles in the ground: at a slight angle to a depth of 1.5-2 meters, but then he refused this variant. So far, the site plan has not been completed, and a hammock on poles already can not move. I rummaged through the network and has chosen a portable framework for hammock - easier. I admit at once - did almost as much as it was.

For the manufacture of the frame will need the following materials:

• Beam: 75h100h6000 mm (2 pcs.)
• Beam: 100h100h3000 mm (1 pc.)
• Nuts: a diameter of 10 mm (14 pcs.)
• "Capercaillie»: 8x18 mm (6 pcs.)
• Goals: a diameter of 10 mm (14 pcs.)
• Studs 10 mm (2 pcs.)

The design of the frame consists of two transverse and two longitudinal supports, two inclined beams under hammock and two struts, for stiffening. First thing Sellec sawn timber, then he crafted billet grinder and rounded edges - and looks better, and safer, and more practical, it is proved that the paint on the edges stick worse.

As the transverse supports used in the construction of a half meter intervals timber section 100x100 mm. Longitudinal beams between which are installed under the hammock - three-meter of timber section 75x100 mm. To harden the mechanical connection elements to "gluhari" is selected on the crossbars groove depth of 3 cm. To simplify the markup Sellec attached to transverse supports all three blanks (narrow part) - two longitudinal supports and the same third, which subsequently sawn into two inclined beams.

This fitting is allowed to mark the exact location of the slot. Drill holes for fasteners is also easier when folded and not in each part separately. For this longitudinal supports are formed at a distance of 30 cm from the edges of drilled long (10) "Pen", and immediately drilled holes jib - approximately half a meter departing from holes beams.

Prepared longitudinal supports are placed on the cross member into the grooves, after which the junction is also drilled hole under metiz - to drill entered the crossmember 2-3 cm. The third three-meter cant is sawn in half, folded and drilled at a distance of about 10 cm from the edge (in the center).

Jib section made of timber 75x100 mm - two meter long segment, on the one hand - with an oblique cut for firm connection to the beam. The location fit oblique cut, on the beam hole is drilled through, and on the jib to metiz entered the wood - an oblique cut is planted to "grouse" on the part of the beam. The lower fastening holes - at the same distance, and that on the beams - of about 10 cm from the edge. Before final assembly of all the structural elements Sellec treated with antiseptic and flame retardants, as well as coated colored protective impregnation the color of the porch.

Assembling: sum "cake" of the longitudinal beams supports and inclined (inclination angle of about 70⁰), connected to pins, bolts baits. Then mounted on the transverse support is secured grouse, the beams are aligned, and the bolts are tightened. Jib inserted between poles, are fixed at an equal distance from the top (height depends on the size of the family members) screwed hooks under the hammock.

At the household portable hammock went to "Hurray!", Tested and founder, and his wife and heir, satisfied with everything. The costs of a frame made up about one and a half thousand rubles, it is removed for the winter and the summer continues to delight the whole family. Everyone who wants repeat his experience, Craftsman gives some tips:

• Under the "grouse" and pin washers are required, without them all of the bolts and the head goes into the wood.
• The pin hole 10 drilled better "pen" on page 11 - it will provide a free lift in the wood.
• If the size of the family members of the significant, longitudinal supports should be fastened to the cross member is closer to the center - the deflection will be less.

A similar construction and another user of the portal, he, too, chose a tree, but slightly modified the frame and enjoy for several years.

• The transverse supports - 1.5 meters.

Here's what I got from scraps of old pipes and corners. Since hammocks gradually stretch and sag, had come up with a system moving apart racks.

henc This problem was solved by fixing a hammock on the chain - as slack just shortens links.

Of course, the network has a lot of other designs for the realization of skillful hands, but particularly those already have been run and found consistent. Not spent so much effort, time and money, really easy to get mobile support for the hammock to the delight of the whole family.
