- DIY Easy Hammock Knot 2.0
Knot Note: This knot is a variation of a Sheet Bend. I invented it, so it doesn't have a name...
The Loop of rope is made with a Double Fisherman's Bend:
• Double Fisherman's Loop
• Double Fisherman's Bend
This is the easiest way to make a hammock. Simple, easy and safe.
This video will show you how to make your own DIY hammock, easily, without sewing, and with materials you may already have in your own home.
Here you will learn to make a hammock on the fly. It's intended for a temporary hammock since standard bed sheets tend to rip after a while with use. For a long term hammock, you should use Nylon Fabric, RipStop Nylon is the strongest.
But again, this is for temporary, off-hand use, either for camping, or indoor use.
This hammock should be made with rock climbing grade rope or webbing. See my other videos on the many other ways to make your own DIY Easy Hammock,
It really is quite simple to make one of these Easy Hammocks, even if you don't think you are a handy guy or gal, necessarily...
No need to worry, because this video will easily guide you through the process, step by step.

I'm sleeping on this knot using this video for 10 years now with my handmade hammock. I've just realised I owe you a big Thank you! Cheers :)
Man, thanks for telling me. I'm so glad it helped someone!
@@CaptainKnots Me too! I've been using my old beat up homemade hammock for almost a decade thanks to this!
Woo-hoo! Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. 😁👍🏼
I make hammocks out of bed sheets from Goodwill. This knot works everytime. I refer back to the video everytime I make one to be sure I get it right. I should know it as many as I have made by now. Thanks so much!👍🏾
This is a great trick for the economy rooms that bite
Thanks for the excellent video tutorial.. My 5 month old baby was fussing because he could not go to sleep... I took a bed sheet, some rope, and followed your instructions and put together a hammock in minutes... now he is out like a log... happy restful baby.. happy parents.. :)
having a shitty empty mothers day thanks to covid the terrible. i googled diy hammock and here you are to save the day! Closest thing to being held is a hammock. Thank you Captain Knots very much!
I'm so glad to have helped at a time like this! Your comments made my day. Thanks!
I am liking your video while sitting in my self made hammock made with the help of your technique. I owe you a very big thank you. 💙💙💙
It makes me real happy to know that I'm helping people get a cheap and easy hammock! Thanks for letting me know. 😎👍🏼
Its 2024: I watched this video back around...2010. I STILL have the hammock I made with this knot!
Wow! That's so cool! Thank you for sharing this! 😎👍🏼
I used a 1k thread count king sized top sheet for 3 days in two camp sites, using marine grade carabiners and 3/8" 140lbs test shock cord doubled up on both ends. worked great! I am 6'2" 250lbs, no rips.

thanks for the tip, great channel!
Nice. I'm 5.9, 180-200lbs
Perfect solution for a tailored hammock I hang in my no build SUV conversion when I need to sleep in the car instead of tent on when in route. I have everything I need, no cost. Thanks!
happy to skip a purchase and diy it from something already owned, thank you 💚💚💚
the best things on life are simple... Thanks!!
this is genius! thank you for this video, it was super clear and I feel confident in making my own hammock now!
My god.....I've just made one ! Attached it (using your knots ) diagonally to some heavy eye-loop hooks on my window and door beams....it's perfect !! Thank you so much, I'm really glad I found your video :)
There isn't too much useful videos in this "Mis-information Age", but this is one of the best tips i have seen yet.. i tried this out an love it... As an avid hiker with knowlege of all kinds of awesome trails, i will be bringing this along to some of my favorite spots (waterfalls, scenic overlooks, peaceful babbling streams.. etc)
Thank you so much for your kind words. It feels goo to know that some people appreciate these videos. I don't post much since I only make videos that are unique and mostly my own ideas. There are so many videos of the same thing already! If it's already been done well, why copy and paste my own version of the video?
Thanks again for taking the time to send me a note.
Peace.
Anyway, sorry for the rant... Check out my channel for more. These two may be helpful:

Thanks for the great tutorial it works like a dream
I used this video to make a hammock in a pinch before a camping trip back in 2010.
The hammock lasted me about four years, and maybe 500 hours of my weight on it before the knot needed to be retied. Simple, fast, effective, safe and best of all none of those cadibaners that can eventually bend over time
Thanks for passing it along. So easy! I make all my hammocks now.
Actually used this method to make my store purchased hammock smaller and more tighter in the space I needed it in. Awesome Video
Yes!9'x12' cotton painters drop cloths. So relieved to finď this skill thankyou!harbor freight $12 bucks😉suspension incoming...
I'm going to check out that Harbor Freight drop cloth! Thanks for the tip. 😎👍🏼
Thanks to you I'm not sleeping on the floor. Thank you so much!
I am so glad this helped you. This comment made my day. Thanks!
I'm planning on making my own hammock, & I find this very helpful. Thankyou!
I used this tutorial to make up a few hammocks for my kids. I tried a QS sheet and that was ok, but then I tried a painter's light canvas sheet and that worked like a song. It was as half as long again as the sheet and s little wider. I also used a few pieces of nylon webbing instead of rope to do the sheet bend. We used this as a lesson about the difference between the wealth disparity between a second world nation like ours and the poorer third world nations, which was a nice way to discuss these sorts of issues. It was fun and we now have a couple of great hammocks. Thanks for making the tutorial.
Paul, I think it's awesome that you used this video as a learning aid to teach your kids about such an important issue. Wealth Disparity is an issue close to my heart. Thanks for sharing!
I plan to share this in my Forest School session tomorrow. Knots and hammocks are my 2 most favourite things beautifully brought together. I'm really grateful for the video 🌲👍🏕
Simple is best. Love it. Now I have another way to tie up my wool blanket into a hammock besides what I've been using. Way more secure. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Had a problem when the rope slipped on the tarpaulin. Have used your knot. We'll see tonight if it holds without slipping. :-)
thanks for the video! I made one for my 3 year old. took me about 5 min! he's having a blast!
I would imagine if you doubled up the sheet and used thicker rope you might even be able to use it for 2 people
Thank you thank you thank you ! This is one of the most important and interesting knots I've learnt. What a way to start the year.
fantastic innovation for a gathered end hammock, this looks much cleaner than the conventional method.
5/5
Hi there! I simply wish to give a huge thumbs up for the nice video youve gotten here on this post. I shall be coming back to your vid for more soon.
Hi, don't know if you'll ever get this message but I saw this video, made the hammock out of a twin sized sheet and it was awesome! I loved it thanks so much
Thank you soo much I’ve always wanted one now I can DIY one
I am very glad to help.
Great videos, Ray. I use paracord all the time, but I use two strands together because it stretches. With fairly regular use, I need to replace my cords about every 2-3 years. Otherwise, it's plenty strong. I just set up a little higher, and its fine.
Great video thank you
Thank you 🙏 I now have a Lovely Hammock in my Garden :)
Glad to help!
Awesome thank you very much
awsome I gonna take this backpacking with me
Really hepfull thanks i made one inside my room
So helpful!! Thank you
I'm glad you found it useful. 😎
@rayd888 Thanks. I've found a queen size bed sheet and am now using it instead of the ENO Double Nest. My issue with the ENO is that we have a poodle and they have long nails. I was afraid she would poke through and rip it. ENO is now regulated to travel and the sheet is the one in my office. I think the sheet is more comfortable. It is cotton and much softer. It was also cheaper (salvage from closet). I did not have paracord so I bought 400# cord from REI. TNX
thank you so much i don't have sewing machine :(
will test today :)
Wow very easy knot and setup easy to remember strong hammoc 5 out of 5 stars
I will say this is a very simple idea and I will definitely try this with some ripstop nylon this season. However I tried it with a king size sheet and hit more than one snag. One the sheet wasn't even close to long enough after knots were tied and two the sheet failed catastrophically. But the knots held. I used paracord instead of climbing rope though because it can support the loads at a far lighter (and cheaper) packed weight.
For ME, this is the BEST knot for hammock... simply, valide and secure.
(imho)
Can I use paracord for the whole suspension
Is there any reason not to use my dynaglide whoopie slings to create this knot directly to my 1.1 ripstop hammock body? Obviousness to save on moving parts and also weight.
heya! does anyone know if this knot has an official name? (otherwise we can just call it the hammock knot :)
Idk, but it is not the hammock knot.
It’s called a sheep bend, used for binding two ropes together of different sizes. The thicker rope is the one in the bedsheet’s position.
Beef Jerky *sheet bend
This is really good I sleep in it every night but I would like to say to some people this isn't a sheet bend that is all
Luv ya +%^98 that's alot
SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!! 5/5
this comment is older than me i-
What a great vid. I just paid $30 for a byers moskito.
thx_________cool
can i use twine?
I see the rope is a loop. Would a continuous loop of a proper size work for this?
Can you tell me what knot you are using to keep that cord in a loop?
dose it have to be a Queens size bed sheet
❤️🙏
this video came out a few months before my birthday before I was born
whats the weight limit on useing a bed sheet
what is the knot calle?
you can use a simple icicle hitch, it's more secure than a sheet bend
I'd rather use a prussick than an icicle hitch. It's even simpler. But still I like this sheet bend the most because it's much neater. If you want an even more secure/bomb proof version of this knot look at this video here: m.th-cam.com/video/ceuXNuQqcYw/w-d-xo.html
This is awesome! Does anyone know the best things it can be secured to?
th-cam.com/video/-sEs-1BHxqY/w-d-xo.html
Captain Knots thanks!
Great simple tutorial. Now I just need to find out what sort of knot is used on the rope.
+Leigh Jones it looks like a "double fisherman knot" and if itsnt, its a good knot anyway, you can also go for a "figure of 8 bend"
Either a Double fisherman knot or a bowline knot will work
What is the cheapest rope that you can use for this demonstration? I am going to use it for 11 year old Scouts.
Paracord is pretty cheap, and holds alot of weight
Thank you so much for this!
at 0:39 and 2:14 - if you make two turns in the last loop, the tension will hold by itself. You can then easily knot the security.
"two turns in the last loop" Please clarify.
@@maelinDV th-cam.com/video/VUerD-QvFnc/w-d-xo.html at 3:00
It is Sheet Bend.
all i do is knots know matter what.
Does it work with 550 pound paracord?
Jeury Cisneros paracord might stretch too much
Jute might work :)
what kind of knot was that on the rope
double fisherman's knot
Where is the image to show what this looks like when completed?? 🤔
Basically, I wanna _see_ you in this hammock chilling out with a good book. If the book is _not_ good, nevermind making the video then. Thank you for knot. I'll knot know if it works, until I _don't_ kill myself. *Hugz
@Digitalhunny You're right! I should have added the image of me chillin' reading Hsin Hsin Ming (The Book of Nothing) by Zen Master Sosan. This is the only book you need to read.
I guarantee the knot works. See all the comments under this video... Also, watch my other videos like:

m.th-cam.com/video/ceuXNuQqcYw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! 😎👍🏼
@bestamerica he is only using it to show you how to make the not it says "i use the pillow case for illustration purposes".
Where is the sound to the video?
excuse me, how i realize the first knot for close the rope? thank you...
porcusdiu - that's a double fisherman's loop. I have a video here: th-cam.com/video/LyvEk8y5g_k/w-d-xo.html
Oh, ok! Now i have understand..
Perfect, Dude! :)
Greetings from "El Nido - Palawan" ... :)
porcusdiu - Jaja. Muy bien!
how do i attach it to tree? i would be glad if i know :D cuzz i cant get a hammock cuzz it would take a car ride for like 6 hours........
SthealthRaider tie it..
How can I hang it up without damaging my walls?
For that, you need to make Magic Glue by mixing equal parts of Fairy Dust and Unicorn Tears in a bowl made of Atlantean Crystal. Haha!
Seriously, the only damage to walls is a small hole that can easily be filled with spackle and painted over.
The only other rway is to use a Hammock Stand, but they are very bulky and meant to be used outdoors.
Here's what I do:
