Nice! May I ask what the benefits of a hammock bed style are?
Is it for hot weather?

Easter break project: hammock bed
So this is the result of my Easter break project (don't mind the cone, just a minor hot spot we need to prevent Frodo from licking as it heals):

Safe to say I think it was a success. I didn't exactly intend for the boys to both use it at once, but that was probably short-sighted of me, haha.
Sam got what he wanted in the end though.

I'm pleased overall. Definitely should've picked a different fabric though, because I'm not sure how long this will last having seen it in use. It's a lighter canvas and I absolutely should've gone for a heavier canvas or awing/lawn chair plastic fabric. It wouldn't be too difficult to re-do now that I know what I'm doing, but the bummer is that those 3-way L joints on the corners are impossible to find in Norway, from what I can tell, so it'd take weeks to get replacements from eBay or the like.
I mostly followed this tutorial, if anyone's curious: Build a Dog Cot for Around $10 just don't believe the 'for around $10' part unless you have a lot of the materials already hanging around.
