Paracord Banana Hammock

i've seen a few instructables on paracord hammocks but none of this type which in my opinion is the most comfortable

Tools and Matereals

first (for the cutting and fusing) you will need:

  • about 300 feet of paracord
  • a tape measure
  • burner of some kind (lighter or a cool homemade liquid burning torch like the one shown)
  • a knife (not shown)

afterwards you will need:

  • a piece of PVC (not necessarily needed but it makes it a ton easier)
  • time and patience

Cutting

measure and cut 24 15-20 foot pieces of paracord and fuse the ends

Get Knotty

put one end of all the strands in a loop, then place them on a piece of PVC and find a way to hang it from the ceiling (not necessarily required but it does make it easier) it put it between 2 removable ceiling panels then tie a bunch of overhand knots with both strings at the same time in a line across the strands then do it again in another row

More Knots!

i know your probably sick of this by now but you need one more line of knots, at the very end of the strands tie a row of loops like you did at the top

Hang and Enjoy!

thread a piece of rope or more paracord through the loops on the ends and hang it up
