Paracord Laced Pallet, Hanging Chair

Step 4 Marking Wood for Lace Holes

Now what you want to do is take one of the boards and mark where you want to put the laces.
I put my laces 1/2" in from the edge of the board and put them 2" apart.

Depending on how you would like yours to look you can make the laces further apart or closer together. As long as they are in far enough from the edge so that the board does not break once it has weight on it. Keep in mind also that if the laces are spaced further apart,  the boards will tend to pull away from each other more, making a gap where things might get pinched (fingers, "cheeks", etc.)

I'm not sure if this actually matters to anyone, but having an odd number of holes causes the very middle point of your rope and your knot to be on opposite faces of the plank. Therefore, you cannot hide the middle point of the rope AND the knot, so your board will look like this:

X X X X X X I

with the 'I' being the middle of the rope.

if you have an even number of holes, you'll have the middle point AND knot both on one side, so your front side is like:

X X X X X X

Im sure this doesnt make sense, if you want I could try to make it less confusing.

It makes sense to me though I didn't notice before you pointed it out. If I made one i'd do what you said though...
