    Kids hammocks

    I made these for my nieces and nephews for Christmas. They are hammock "blanks" from tablecloth factory. I sewed channels on each end. The suspension is 1" webbing with a loop sewed in each end. I used the webbing to cinch the ends. I tried to make the suspension as simple as possible. They just have to wrap the straps around the trees and clip them with the carabiners. They can adjust for hight by wrapping more or less around the tree. I also sewed the strap into the channel on one side so they can't be removed and lost. They were really excited. They have all played in my hammocks.

    60x 126. The kids range from 3 to 13. My wife and I use these when we hike. They hold up pretty good. There are many posts about these on this forum. Others have said they hold up to 350lbs.
