Simple hammock. Tips for the home master

Builder, home master

It is pleasant to relax after work on the garden plot, comfortably sitting in a hammock. Buying a ready-made hammock is not a problem now, but a real master prefers to do everything with his own hands. Especially if it does not require much effort. And making a hammock is not difficult at all.

For work, you will need a piece of any dense fabric with a width of at least 1 m. A thick tarpaulin, awning fabric or their synthetic substitute, avizent, is also suitable. Bars with a section of 45x20 mm made of beech or other sufficiently strong wood are used as transverse suspension elements. The longitudinal "frame" of the hammock is made of a nylon cord with a diameter of 6 - 8 mm.

Spread the material on a flat surface and cut out the base of the hammock according to the dimensions indicated (they can be changed if necessary). Make rectangular cutouts in the corners, and reinforce the edges with additional strips of fabric. Now fold the edges along the short sides of the workpiece, as shown in the figure, and sew them with three zigzag seams. The edges along the long sides are similarly formed.

Finishing the ends of the crossbars

The length of the cross bars should be slightly larger than the width of the resulting hammock base. Finish the ends of the planks and sand them. It remains to install the finished straps in their places, thread the suspension cords and tie lock knots on them. Do this in place, according to the desired depth of the hammock. That's all. Have a nice holiday!

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

How many genes does a person have 08.02.2011

Although it was possible to read the human genome for the first time ten years ago, it is still not known not only what each gene does, but also how many of them. By most estimates, there are about 22 genes in humans, which is fewer than grapes (30) but more than chickens (434).

The database maintained by the National Institutes of Health (USA) lists the number 22. Another American database lists 333; the English one lists 38 genes. And in the catalog of mammalian genes, compiled by the efforts of many geneticists from around the world, only 621 genes are given for humans.

This discrepancy is due to the fact that genes make up only about one percent of the three billion nucleotides that make up the DNA chain of each of us. And they are not arranged in order, in a single system, but are abundantly layered with sections of DNA that do not code for any proteins. Such inserts are also present within each gene.

British geneticists have recently begun a project whose goal is to determine the number of genes in humans more precisely. The work is carried out mainly by hand, computers are able to take on only 40-50% of the task.
