The netted seat portion of the chair requires a lot of rope to complete!
The exact amount used for this chair was not measured. The rope came packaged in 150 ft rolls, and at lease 4 or more rolls were used.
A total of (6) Logs are needed. Each about 7-8 feet in length.
- Two of the logs need to be at least 6" in diameter. This is so they are large enough to accept a Dovetail cut and still be strong enough to be the main "A" frame of the chair.
- The other four logs can be a smaller - 3 to 4 inches in diameter
Note: Smaller diameter logs are shown for the tying demonstration in the Instructable.
Note: The logs used in this project were pre-harvested. The camp had removed some trees for an activities field and the logs were salvaged from the firewood pile.
Cutting of live trees solely for the construction of this chair is not endorsed.
