- Steps illustrating how to weave a replica World War II US Navy Hammock Clew. A hammock clew is the woven rope portion of the hammock that includes the steel ring and the rope "nettles" that attach to the hammock. The US Navy hammock clew is unique from other navy hammocks in the way it uses loops or "bights" in there rope to attach to the hammock body via a rope toggle system.

I didn't kno this was a thing. I'm so late, sorry. You sir have just introduced me to, my new hobby.
Spent a couple of years onboard an old minesweeper in one of these, the spreaders or stretchers, were usually not permanently fitted because they were annoying and got in the way when you were taking them down and rolling them up for stowing during the daytime. So you'd remove them and place them inside your bedding before rolling it up. Also they were normally just a piece of 1" dowel about just over a shoulder width in length with a deep 'v' cut into each end , and you just slipped it between the end 'nettles' as you show, but it was always under the other nettles so that the wood was covered by them. It was just more comfortable that way. But I can vouch for them as being the way to sleep in real rough weather.
I love your story Mark! Thank you for sharing these details. This helps keep the history and information alive.
Great Tutorial !! Some things look so complicated until you actually see it being done. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely making one !
I'm ex Navy, and i approve this tutorial.... A should/must learn for the survivalist/bushcrafter!!! Thankyou Derek!!!!
That was awesome! Thanks for showing us how to make that.
Absolute wonderful tutorial Brother Hansen! Subscribed! The Clew is a very simple array knot that all bushcrafters should know!
Thanks! It's really been a fun project. I love some of the "bushcraft" skills involved with making gear.
Thanks for your super work.
Thank you, Derek, for making this video. I have been wanting to learn how to make Hammock Clew. I have a book on it, but its directions are very difficult to follow. A video worth a thousand of words.
Thx for taking the time to make this video. Nice clear tuturial which nicely explains all steps! Keep up the good work.
amazing good job
Nice tutorial, this will come in handy!
Parabéns pelo seu vídeo ficou muito bom de aprender a fazer
Gracias x compartirlo
Great video thanks
How high above the hooks do you hang the "O" ring ? Basically what is the approx length of the cordage from the "O" ring to the bottom loop of the cord?
Very nice
How much excess cord did you cut off of each end when you finished at the knot?
love it great idea as well to make smaller for pet.
you didnt show enough when you first set it up, do you run the loop through or the whole rope
to be made in original Navy fashion, the working ends will need to make a box... address line with shuttle, run the left working end first then the right. Next, address the line with the shuttle again then run the right working end first followed by the left and continue
I don't get it, can you do a video?
And I'm assuming it made with cotton clew cordage, right?
Getting ready to start participating in historically recreations aboard the battleship USS ALABAMA, moored in Mobile. Great tutorial! Gonna hit you're link, try to build one of my own!!!
Cool! Be sure to let me know how it goes.
sweet!
Nice video loved it . Can you please answer for what is the size of the frame? because 12 hokes with 1.5 inch space I can know only the width? will be waiting..
All the instructions are on my website: theultimatehang.com/2013/01/world-war-ii-us-navy-hammock-and-clew-tutorial/
Thanks for sharing this! Any idea where to get the steel rings? Can they be purchased at a hardware store?
Yes, you can purchase them at hardware stores or online. Details on my website.
Thank you Derek. I'll try. Please take a good care when you work.
Called a loom,,,,old way to weave and still used by myself and many,,,not sure where you got the word jig from
Any clue what would be the minimum spacing of the Hammock bars on a ship; wondering how this would work in my cargo van? thanks for all of this!
+John Beltman I don't have any specific information. Based on my research, there was some variability depending on the location. You could make the nettles/clew shorter if you need.
+John Beltman Im sorry Derek I was thinking of the points from which to hang the hammock from or how much length of space would be required to hang the hammock. I guess i wasn't clear when I asked. From the pictures it looks like with any luck perhaps 3 feet beyond the hammock canvas length at the shortest distances maybe... Thank you Derek I find your work very interesting!
+Derek Hansen Thanks Derek
cool
Is there any structural advantage to the woven portion of the hammock?
Are you talking about the clew? The WWII Navy Hammock uses duck cotton/canvas as the body fabric; it is not woven.
Que guay
I can see how rope could be made into makeshift body armor if you had enough time and thats all that was around. Maybe even weave in strips of metal.
Dirt Poor ALL HAIL THE GORDION KNIGHT!!
how much rope do you need for the working ends
I'm interested in this too.
Each clew starts off with 50 ft of rope. I have all the instructions and illustrations on my website: theultimatehang.com/2013/01/world-war-ii-us-navy-hammock-and-clew-tutorial/
I came here via Pinterest... lol..
That was really cool... thanks for sharing..
same here....lol.
Good jop
You get "a pretty good lay in it?" What's her name? LOL

We don't see anything sheet
I work with paracord to relax and when I saw this video. I think this knot would be amazing as the start of a lanyard or joining woven suspenders. Very detailed and a good clean well put together video. thank you for sharing this.
You are a very good teacher. Thanks for showing us this knowledge.
Great idea! Yes, having a tensioning device on the top is helpful.
This was great. We had one when I was a kid, probably from Great Lakes, in Illinois.
I spent a lot of time swinging on that canvas in the setting sun on hooks on each side of our garage door opening.
I used to wish it had spreader bars like some hammocks, but that would make it less stable and you can roll out.
On a ship, the shallow hang makes it so you can hang guys over each other bunk bed style.
Derek, most excellent tutorial!
Eric, if you're talking about strength advantage, than I'm not sure. I haven't done any strength testing. On one end of the spectrum the shoulder sword mat knot is decorative, but I does provide some practical advantages. It keeps all the nettles from getting tangled (a common problem with single nettle clews) and it also secures the ring and prevents it from migrating. Another major advantage is that it prevents the nettles from slipping and moving through the ring and the hammock. Since this design uses a continuous line, it would be possible for the line to migrate through the clew as you lay in he hammock, making one end shorter and another longer.
Took me a while to make them, but I finally got them. Thanks for the tutorial. It was very useful.
Great video, I am going to put this information to good use! Thanks a lot.
This was an excellent tutorial, I made a woven hammock using approximately 500 ft of rope and passed the nettles through the loops of the rope and integrated the whole thing into one fixed hammock. It made it a bit more challenging but the end result is worth it. Thank you once again.
Jonah Mc Comie do you have pictures of your hammock?
Fancy reba

Thank you for sharing this. Great detailed video.
I'M SAILOR IN BRASIL... YOU JOB IS VERY GOOD...PROFESSIONAL JOB...MUITO BOM TRABALHO...CONGRATULATION'S PARABÉNS.
Muy lindo video
That's awesome I'm gonna make myself one when I've ordered some canvas for the bed itself thanks for sharing mate
Sailors would often put a spreader bar that had notches on the ends to hold the two ends apart but still allow the center to sag. If your goal is to flatten out the hammock, you might consider a different approach. Inserting a bar will introduce bending forces that may not hold. Typically, spreader bars have holes drilled in the bar that helps keep the nettles from sliding together. This also transfers the forces into compressive, which are easier for the bar to handle.

Derek Hansen can u plese tell me what a origanell one is werth ive got one
Going to make one this weekend, thanks.
Very well explained. Nice video.
Love it!!! Thanks Aby👍☝
Very good work
Very Nice !
very nice
Hi, Can you tell me what would be a good size of canvas to make a hammock like this. I suppose the length would be whatever is needed for the person using it with, but what is a good width to handle an adult sleeper?
thanks you .
What type of canvas did you use. great instructional video.
Very Nice ! Thank's
BRAVO !!!!!
I should try your way!
Great video Mr. Hansen. I have just starting net making and want to make a net hammock. Would this clew work for a net hammock as well? Loved your book as well and it is what got me into hammock camping and I plan to thru-hike the AT in 2019 with my hammock. Thanks again.
Yes, this clew can be used on any number of hammocks. Slight modifications and it can be used with traditional Nicaraguan hammocks and even Pawley's Island rope hammocks with spreader bars. The fundamentals are the same, just adjusting the frame to get the nettles the way you want them.
what thickness if rope was that gray one? How much rope was used?
Hi Derek, great video. Going to try this out this week - just wondering - when making the clew is there a specific length that the working ends of the rope need to be?
The working ends do not need to be very long -- just 2-3 feet.
Awesome Hammock but how do you keep the rope from coming back out of the nettles?
Once it is woven and tied up, it is tight and doesn't slip.
How big is the structure to make the hammock?
I want one so bad!!
very kool
Mickey, about 21 inches. I have more detailed instructions and illustrations on my website theultimatehang - com/2013/01/world-war-ii-us-navy-hammock-and-clew-tutorial/
Manifiiq job
Awsome video though,lol! :) Can you use anything else besides the large rope to use on the loops?
Yes, but that large rope also acts to prevent the hammock ends from compressing together or gathering in, which helps to "lengthen" the hammock feel.
Please what is the size of the frame
How big is the jig? And how much rope should I use?
Austin Kilpatrick I've got all the instructions here on my blog: theultimatehang.com/2013/01/world-war-ii-us-navy-hammock-and-clew-tutorial/
Derek Hansen thanks this is pretty cool stuff.
You need about 50 ft of rope per side. The canvas is 4 oz duck.
Derek Hansen Quack

About a foot on each side, approximately.
Instead of feeding a rope through the loops to hook on the cloth part of the hammock, could you use a rod and use that as a spreader bar?
For an authentic WWII Navy Hammock, they didn't use spreader bars in that way. The thicker rope was used to toggle all the loops from the clew. Many Sailors did use a spreader bar, but it was just a board used to push aside the edges and could be easily removed. You can see an example in this photo:

Derek Hansen Thank you very much. That is really interesting.
Quick question. How many yards of canvas did you use?
I've got all the instructions on my website here: theultimatehang.com/2013/01/world-war-ii-us-navy-hammock-and-clew-tutorial/
Que guay
What are the dimensions of your frame? I got the 1.5 in between hooks & that there are 12 but how far away is the ring from the bottom? Does it matter?
Doesn't matter too much. The frame can be adjusted, as can the ring placement. Just remember not to tighten too much because the weaving will take up slack in the line automatically.
Got the site w all the direction. Thx!
Sure. In fact, I have an entire tutorial on my website for making an authentic WWII-style canvas hammock. The basic design hasn't changed in centuries, but there are slight variations in style (British/HMS vs. US Navy, etc.) theultimatehang - com/2013/01/world-war-ii-us-navy-hammock-and-clew-tutorial
