Bari Jumbo Rattan Hanging Chair – Natural

What you require:

• Drill
• Eye Screw
• Snap Hook or Similar
• Stud finder

We recommend you use a builder to hang your chair in a suitable location to ensure it can support the weight of the chair and person sitting in it.

Your builder will locate a ceiling joist/structural beam. There are various methods to hang your chair however the easiest is to use an eye screw that is pre drilled and placed into the centre of your structural beam. Once your eye screw is secured into your beam, secure your rope to a snap hook or similar and attach the snap hook to the eye screw that is already attached to the ceiling. You can secure the rope directly to the eye screw if this is preferred.

It’ll only takes a few moments and perhaps a couple of practises before you’ll be securing and typing up hanging chairs as if you’ve been doing it your whole life, and knowing how to tie impenetrable knots is a worthwhile skill to have anyway.

Bowline Knots

This is perhaps one of the simplest and most versatile knots around, and it is so much easier to do that it may initially look!

1. Ensuring there is enough length on either side, create a loop in the centre of the rope.
2. As depicted in the first illustration, pass one end of the rope through the loop.
3. As shown in the second illustration, pass this end down through the loop once again.
4. Continue to pull the end through until it has tightened into a secure knot.

Clove Hitch Knot

This is another incredibly reliable and safe way to attach your hanging chair, and it can be used quite easily with hoops or rods for additional security.

1. First and foremost, pass the rope over itself to create a loop.
2. Pass the end of the rope over itself again in order to create another loop.
3. Pull the second loop through the first loop as demonstrated above.
4. Pull in order to tighten the know.

Half-Hitch Knots

A half-hitch knot is a variation of the clove hitch knot describes above. Depending on the length of the rope you have on hand, you can create as few or as many hitches as you look. With a longer rope, it’s always a good idea to create two or three hitches for some more peace of mind.

1. Circle the rope around the desired support a couple of times and pull tightly.
2. Create a loop underneath the support and pass one end of the rope around.
3. Insert this end through the eye of the loop you created before.
4. These are two half-hitch knots. You can always create another one for some extra security.
