How To Build a DIY Hanging Daybed Swing on a Floating Deck - EPIC BACKYARD CHILL SPOT!

What happens here

Thread the 3/4 inch suspension rope through pre-drilled holes in the overhead support structure (arches) and then through the channels ripped into the daybed frame. Secure the ropes using a 'double figure eight knot' at one end to prevent slippage. Carefully lift and position the daybed, adjusting the ropes until the frame is perfectly level. Add wooden cleats underneath the ropes on the daybed frame, securing them with screws, to prevent the ropes from moving inward.

Goal: Securely hang the daybed frame using the rope suspension system and level it.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill DeWalt — Securing the wooden cleats
  • Daybed Frame — The main structure being suspended
  • Level — Ensuring the daybed is perfectly horizontal
  • 3/4 inch Rope — Suspending the daybed
  • Screws — Attaching the wooden cleats
  • Wooden Cleats — Securing the ropes within the daybed frame
