Lycra Hammock Build
Building a lycra hammock. The mounts are made of 3/4" birch plywood with 3/4" trailer hitch pins and attached to the basement floor joists. The lycra is 4-way stretch 122" by 5 yards and folded into three layers. Each corner is tied into a knot. 2' of 1/2" cotton rope is tied and looped around the knots in the lycra. The knots are then slid through the small end of the carabiners and the carabiners hooked to the trailer hitch pins.
The size of this hammock is quite a bit bigger than the ones at my son's therapy. The fabric used there is 60", rather than 122". I compensated for that "oopsie" by folding the fabric 3 times and making the 122" edge the long edge. I would certainly suggest using 60" lycra instead of the 122" lycra since the cost per yard is considerably less. You will probably want a couple more yards to get three layers of cloth, though two is probably sufficient, I think the three layers will leave room to grow (weight wise).
