CHIPPY

makes a beer barrel hammock for the garden

THERE was a broken barrel fult of old lower pots in my shed, Now there is a COMFORTABLE HAMMOCK swinging be- tween the two trees at the bottom of the garden and I am walling for the heat wave.

To link the curved staves, I used at each side two medium thick rapes, threaded and knotted 'over and under. The hotes

required for a medium rope need not be big enough to weaken the staves and a single thick rope would be difficult to knot exoutly.

The holes I. bored were in, in diameter, but they depend on the thickness of the rope. The next step was to bore two holes at the end of each stave; the first was in. from the end and the second another inch along.

-And mattress

Starting at one end, leaving a good length of rope to fix to the tree, 1 knotted above and below the first stave, then, threading it up through the second stave, fixed it in position with a second knot.

Then, marking off 12ins, from the last knot, I threaded down through one stave then up through the next-lied the knot, marked off the next, and so on to the end.

I use a thin pad mattress on my hammock, but it is left out of the drawing to show the construction.
