Historical Help: how the suspended structure appeared

The passion for swinging has come with us in adulthood from early childhood. That is why the popularity of suspended seats and garden swings remains unchanged. In the mid -twentieth century, the German designer modified the structure, hanging it to the ceiling and connecting the side edges. Now there is an emphasis for the back and the opportunity to sit. Pillows were added for comfort. So the convenient and popular option of a suspended chair was born.

The consumer liked the model very much, and immediately turned into a mega-popular. She decorated not only the game corners of children and bedrooms, but also modified the interior of courtyards, personal plots, terraces.

The first varieties of seats were made only from natural materials, but time made adjustments and plastic options appeared.

Types and techniques of suspended seats

You can find a variety of options and design of products. It is also possible to make them from different materials: wood, metal, vines, rattan. Many models will be able to build even inexperienced home craftsmen:

• Cachelor chair (hammock). Fasteners are done at two points. Thanks to this, the structure sways in one plane. The option has several varieties: soft and hard models. The first type consists of soft material, it can be weaved or sewn. The technique of weaving macrama, crochet is used. The ends of the material are attached to the transverse elements, which, in turn, are suspended to the ceiling. Gamak takes up little space. The model is adjusted to the characteristics of the body of each person, so it is convenient to relax in a hammock.
• The chain is a nesting chair. The design consists of two strong hoops, an even bottom and sides braided with dense threads or a similar material.
• The Yaito armchair (cocoon) is characterized by greater closeness than the previous options. The back is connected to the sides into a single whole. The frame is tied with threads or sewn with dense fabric. For everyone who loves silence and solitude, the option is the most suitable. The type of suspended chair is very well suited for the nursery in the interpretation of a corvee chair or a drop. The model is almost completely closed, often has doors. Kids are crazy about this option.

We make a suspended Hamac chair on our own: the necessary materials and tools

If you want to make a suspension chair, select a suitable model. For beginners, it is recommended to start with simpler models, and then try strength in complex ones. Gamak is an ideal option for relaxing both in nature and in the apartment. It does not take up much space, at any time it can be cleaned. To make this variety of a suspended chair is not as difficult as it might seem. The first thing is necessary is to study the theoretical question and prepare the necessary materials with tools.

Would need:

• A pair of metal hoops of different diameters. For sitting, it is enough to purchase a circle with a diameter of seventy centimeters, for the back you will need a larger diameter of one hundred and ten centimeters.
• Weaving cord- up to 1000 meters.
• The slings are twelve meters.
• Very durable ropes for connecting circles among themselves.
• Knife.
• Roulette, ruler.
• Mittens for work.
• Marker.
• Accessories for sewing.

Immediately make a reservation that improvised materials can be chosen as hoops. Most often use the following:

But this is far from a complete list. Homemade craftsmen show imagination and use many different improvised materials for the frame.

For weaving, it is recommended to take a synthetic cord, you can buy it in any profile store. The material is characterized by a combination of a soft surface with the ability to form very dense nodes that can remain durable and not be carved during use.

Stages of work on the manufacture of a chair

1. The first stage of operation in the manufacture of a hammock is the coating of a metal (or any other) surface with a cord. To know about which supply of material is needed, you need to remember that about thirty -five meters of cord are consumed per meter of hoop. You do not need to rush, the turns should be made with good tension. Each next round lies next to the previous one.

Every twenty turns tighten, this will make the winding smoothly and tightly. When performing this work, you need to protect your hands using building gloves.

2. The next stage is the manufacture of the mesh. For this, any pattern of Macrama weaving technique is used. But it is preferable to apply a flat option so that the bulges do not interfere with a comfortable rest in a hammock. You can leave the ends of the rows for fringe or cut them at the end of the row do as fantasy suggests.

3. After weaving, go to the assembly of the structure. Braided circles must be assembled in a single design. To do this, one edge of the circle is hidden to another using a dense cord. You choose the distance between the sides of the circles on the other side. This is the back of your suspended chair.

4. After that, we proceed to the design of the back of the chair. Weaving begins on top and gradually descend to the base of the structure. You choose any version of the technique of macrame, but here it is also better to make a flat drawing so that nothing crushes during the rest in the hammock. When the back is braided, we strengthen the back structure with a pair of thick cords, connecting the back with the seat. The work is done, now it remains only to attach the slings and hang the chair to the place intended for him.

On the Internet, it is easy to find schemes, description of a suspended chair with your own hands drawings and choose a suitable option.

Material for a suspended chair with a cover

If the above method does not like or seems too complicated, use another way of making a chair. It is not difficult to make a suspended option with a case. The finished product is characterized by convenience and external attractiveness. To make a high -quality chair, you should cook:

• metal hoop (preferably);
• a piece of durable fabric about three meters;
• braid;
• four metal buckles;
• eight -meter sling;
• metal ring for suspension of the finished structure;
• accessories for sewing.

As in the previous version, it is preferable to use steel hoop or metal -plastic pipe for the frame. If a hoop made of wood is made, it must be carefully processed with special compounds, otherwise the tree will very quickly become unusable.

Stages of work

In order for the result of the work to comply with expectations, it is necessary to perform work according to the rules:

1. First, the case is cut. A three -meter section of the fabric (square) is used, it is divided into two squares of one and a half meters. Each section is folded four times. Make a circle of sixty -five centimeters with a radius. The same manipulations are made with the second square. On the received circles, four centimeters retreat from the edge, outline the outline. Two circles are folded in turn four times and outline a place for slings. The first pair will be located at an angle of forty -five degrees, the second thirty.

To form the same holes for slings on both circles, the edges of the material are planned by pins.

2. The next stage of work is the connection of elements. Two circles are scattered along the contour line, while there is a place to insert the base. If everything matches and looks beautiful, the contour is stuck, after which the cover is turned and ironed. The cover can be filled with any soft material. Slings are cut. So that the edges of the material do not fall, it is recommended to pay them. To be able to regulate the comfort of staying in a chair, you need to put on buckles on the slings.

The finished product can be placed on the site by hanging on a reliable tree branch. If the chair is intended for use in a house or apartment, you should make a suspension structure. The structure should differ in reliability and withstand the mass of a person who is resting in an armchair.

What to pay attention to

To make a suspended chair, if desired, even a beginner can, but it is important to remember such structural features so that the efforts are not in vain:

• Weight restrictions. If a person’s weight exceeds eighty kilograms, the design should be enhanced.
• If the chair is made for the child, its depth of fifty centimeters is ideal. If the design is used by an adult, models with a depth of eighty centimeters are the most optimal option.
• Remember the design features of the suspended seats: they must be reliably attached. In a room with stretch or suspended ceilings, the product will not work.
• For swinging, a place is necessary. That is, there should not be furniture nearby, the chair cannot be suspended near the wall.
