- fasteners.
Make this accessory much easier for an open table. After all, it has at least two supports to install the structure. Therefore, ordinary hooks are suitable as fasteners.
If the height of the table is 70 cm, then on one side of the hammock there is about 80-120 cm of cord. Of course, these dimensions are approximate, because much depends on the individual characteristics of the person.
Now it is important to determine the parameters. If the table width is within 130-150 cm, then the length of the hammock under the feet should be from 60 cm. The width of the accessory must be selected for the dimensions of its feet, approximately 25-30 cm. The length of the rope is selected depending on the height of the table.

- On the edges of the wooden slats (each 65 cm) make holes for the cords. Then well grind the bars.
- In the formed fabric "tunnel" you need to slip the slats.
- On the one hand, it is necessary to tie the cord into a knot. Then put on a special slider - a plate with two holes.
- In the second hole, it is necessary to pass the cable so that it becomes double. It's important to fix this end on the rope, pushing it into the empty hole of the runner. Such a mechanism will serve as a fixator of height.
- On the side walls of the closed table (at the top) it is necessary to attach the hooks with the help of two screws.
- A hammock for legs under the open table can be fixed on special hooks-braces. They are made in the form of the letter "P in which the lower edge is slightly longer, and at its end there is a hook.
