You can buy one at the store if you like and hang it between two trees or posts in your yard or you can weave your own by taking 2 welded brass or steel rings measuring 2-3 inches, 2 pounds of a type of twine called seine with a thickness between 40 and 46, a ¾ to 1 ½ inch by 12 inch gauge stick, 2 1 ½ inch by 1 ½ inch by 33 inch hardwood bars as well as a netting shuttle. You will be able to use lark’s head, plain overhand, weaver’s and half hitch knots in the making of your hammock.
