This is an Instructable on how to create a comfortable and unique hammock from some basic materials. This can be accomplished with very basic tools and skills, the perfect project to do on a Friday afternoon to get ready for the weekend. This can be set up anywhere and will turn heads wherever it goes.

Time: Took me about an Hour or so but lost of that was planning. What took me the longest was sourcing some cheap grass.

Cost: Dependant on materials. Here is a list of what I used:

Grass shag carpet : $99.00

Tie Downs X2 : 15.98

Black metal pipes X2: 9.80

Zip ties: really cheap I always have these around

OPTIONAL: Caribiner or quick links, Rope

Total : $131.02

You could use wood in place of the pipe, rope for the tie down, or some other kind of fastening material besides the zip ties. I would recommend trying to find green zip ties and possibly black tie downs to make it look better. It can be difficult to find the grass, you can get the lawn grade stuff but its very expensive, you can get the cheaper stuff that looks like it comes from a putting green as well but I would avoid it. The stuff I found was an indoor outdoor carpet so it has some decent strength to it.

Skills needed: Basically none, a very easy project!

I apologize in advance for some of the poor photos, I realized half way through that the camera I was using didn't have a card in it! I took about half of these with my phone.
