If your building your own, you can use a one piece design. Where the channel goes, install (sew in) some gosgrain for added strength.
Sew in the grosgrain. The last 6-8 inches on the long sides.
Fold the hem on the long sides and sew them first.
Double fold the short ends, either pin them now or run a row of stitch across. Make this hem a big one to accomadate the four rows of stitching. 1" or 1-1/2" wide.
Then sew this hem down, creating the channel, four times, leaving adequate room for your suspension.
