Rope Hammock
A Hammock of Your Own
It's been a long day--work, kids, responsibilities. It's time to take a break. Gather up something to read and a cool drink, kick off your shoes, and slip into a hammock. Let yourself relax into a unique experience.
Why unique? Because a hammock is the perfect place for daydreaming. Hammocks have been around so long in so many cultures, that they not only provide some of the most comfortable seating you'll find, but they'll also open up the world to your imagination. You may be using a camping hammock in your backyard, but it could just as easily be strung between two trees in the outback of Australia, surrounded by herds of kangaroos. Your matrimonial hammock, big enough for two people, might be out on the back deck, but in your dreams you're sharing it with your sweetie on a wild island beach, enjoying the sunset over the South Pacific along with your favorite drinks.
Do you have a rope hammock set up on your front porch? Then you can close your eyes and just picture yourself in the crew quarters of a tall ship on the high seas, storm-tossed and ready to give chase to some pirates! Or maybe you're relaxing on the back porch in a hand-made Mayan hammock from the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, but in your dreams you're exploring the furthest reaches of the world, discovering the ruins of ancient civilizations.
Bright striped hammocks in sun-resistant materials are great for imagining yourself in that perfect vacation home right out of Sunset Magazine, even if yours is set up on a hammock stand in your living room surrounded by piles of the kids' favorite toys. Or maybe you'll imagine getting a family sized hammock big enough so that you and the kids can go on wild adventures of the imagination as you cuddle together for some great family time!
Pure comfort can accompany you on your backyard adventures if you've got a quilted hammock. Pillows and a throw or two will make you feel you're on a luxury cruise in the mid-Atlantic, although your hammock stand is firmly planted on the lawn! (Add a water bottle holder for real convenience.)
Chair hammocks are a world of their own. They come in styles ranging from free form rope for lounging to firm support and arm rests for upright sitting--yet they still give you that wonderful feel of being safely and comfortably supported in mid-air. Like all hammocks, they're perfect for reading, too. You can even get magazine and book holder accessories for your hammocks, to keep your reading matter handily available while you relax and dream of great adventures.
Come to think of it, why not take a portable hammock and set off on a real life adventure, if only to the nearest park or beach? These come with convenient carrying cases to make getting to your destination simple and easy--but watch out for pirates!

my rope hammock is not the color i need it to be any suggestions on how to change its color?
i want it black or white (its multicolored)
is there a way to die it or bleach it with out the color coming off or it weakening the rope any?
Bleach will likely weaken the ropes. You may have some success with dying it but be cautious about using dyes with harsh chemicals and use them exactly as directed. Good luck!

Types And Tips On Making Rope Hammocks
There are many variations of hammocks but the most common is the rope hammock. Learn about the different types and basic tips on putting it up.
Rope Hammocks
Hammocks are fabrics or pieces of cloth used as slings for resting or sleeping while hanging above the ground. It usually consists of two or more fabric panels, cloth panels or thin ropes expanded with wires between four firm points like posts or trees. Hammocks are now famous around the globe for relaxation. In addition, it is popular in camping trips.
It is protected against rain, root and mold. Hammocks have many different types according to materials used, like nylon, nylon rope and single nylon hammocks. A nylon hammock is made of quality craftsmanship and durable materials. Nylon ropes are elastic, lustrous and stronger. Single nylon ropes are about 7 feet long and 4 feet wide.
Tips on Making Rope Hammocks
Materials include polyester ropes for long-lasting hammocks, 2lbs hammock ropes, 1 gauge stick, 1 large netting shuttle, 2 rings about 2 to 3 inches in diameter, 2 hardwood bars (33 inches long and 1 ½ by 1 ½ inches).
Step 1
Measure and cut about 1 or 2 pieces of rope. Tie the ends together into a square knot. Hang the rope on a post, doorknob or tree. Get the netting shuttle and grip it in point end up. Twist the cord a few times around the netting shuttle and tie the end into a loop on the post, doorknob or tree.
Step 2
Use the gauge stick to twist the netting shuttle cord around it. Pass the netting shuttle throughout the loop and grip the cord tightly. Create a half hitch and continue creating loops until the gauge stick has about 15 to 20 total loops.
Step 3
Take out the gauge stick from the loops and grip it directly underneath. Rotate the ropes such that the netting shuttle is on the left side. Get the netting shuttle cord down to the front portion of gauge stick and bring it at the back, placing it throughout the first loop. Move around the first loop with the netting shuttle cord and create a hitch. Repeat the movement until it is completed on all sides.
Step 4
Place more than 10 ropes around the netting shuttle when it runs out. Tighten the free end in the square knot to the first old hammock. Keep repeating step 3, creating rows of loops with a rope. Generally, the length will is approximately 7 feet if there are 50 to 55 rows.
Step 5
Cut the first loop and remove it. Change it with dowel to give it stability and maintain the rows smoothness while working on it. Get about 2 pieces of hardwood cut into 33 inches in length and 1 ½ by 1 ½ inches. Bore or drill each piece with 15 to 20 holes, making sure that it is not closer that 2 ½ inches from each other and that it is 1 ½ inches apart from each other.
Step 6
Gather about 40 pieces from a 50-inch long rope. Get a 2 inch ring and loop the initial cord through it. Run it equally through the ends of the cord via the first bored hole in the hardwood. Tighten an overhand knot and secure each piece of rope from the woven hammock.
Hammock Swings
Hammock swings are worktables or benches made from a cushion or rope webbing suspended from about two different secure points such as posts or trees. The gentle swinging motion of a hammock is truly enjoyable and relaxing. A hammock swings swiftly, making it a famous addition to numerous homes whether placed outdoors or indoors.
