Making a comfortable place to relax in the country is very simple. For example, the author suggests making a convenient home-made hammock.
For a hammock to be reliable, it is important not only to choose high-quality fabric and rope, but also to make sure that the base is reliable.
Actually, about the basis for a hammock and we will discuss this review. Of course, you can pull a hammock between the trees. But not everywhere there is a suitable place.
Therefore, a metal collapsible base for a hammock is a more practical option. And to make it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
Design features
The base consists of two supporting "legs", a jumper connecting them to each other, as well as two racks located at an angle of 45 degrees, between which a hammock is stretched.
The “legs” of the base themselves are made of a square profile pipe 40 * 40 mm, and the posts and bridge are made of a round pipe with a diameter of 34 mm.
The length of the connecting bridge is 121 cm, and the height of the uprights is 126 cm. The width of the "legs" of the base is 74 cm.
To fix the jumpers and racks in the profile pipes, wing bolts are provided. To do this, nuts are welded into the profile pipes.
Two pieces of a thick-walled pipe with a diameter of 70 mm are welded to the bottom of the "legs" (at the edges).
