In 1977, we crafted our chairs in a cabin in the woods of Wisconsin. Later, a school bus served as both our workshop and home. For 20 years we lived and worked in Boulder, Colorado, and today our Workshop is found in Minnesota. Though we've changed locations and our family has grown, the way we do business has stayed the same. We still craft our original, award-winning hanging chair by hand. We still travel to meet our customers in their communities at street fairs and festivals. And, after the sale, we still support our customers the best way we know how: just like a SKY chair. :: Learn More about SKY Chairs :: :: View my SKY Order ::1 - 6' 1/2" Diameter Wood Dowel 1 1/2 Yards Outdoor Fabric, 54" wide Sewing Notions and Thread 1 - 1x3 @ 48" long 4 - 1x2 @ 8 feet long 4 - 1/4" diameter bolts, 2" long with matching nuts 12 - washers to fit bolts Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section.
Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. 2 - 1x2 @ 48" 1 - 1x2 @ 24" 1 - 1x2 @ 25 1/2" 1 - 1x3 @ 24" 2 - 1x2 @ 44" 4 - 1x2 @ 23 3/4" 1 - 1x2 @ 22 1/4" 1 - 1x3 @ 22 1/4" 2 - 1x2 @ 15" 1 - 1/2" Diameter Wood Dowel @ 25 1/2" 2 - Outdoor Fabric Squares @ 54" x 22 3/4" 2 - 1/2" Diameter Wood Dowel @ 22" Build the back frame very carefully as shown above. The main weight bearing joints are going to be where the fabric slings pull on the headers - so take great care to use glue, carefully predrill holes, avoid splitting your wood, and attach in place. There is a 3/8" gap between the header boards.
Drill the holes as shown above for the bolts. Build the smaller sling as shown above, taking great care again to create strong joints for the headers. Once both frames are complete, line the frames up as shown above, and insert bolts, with washers on both sides of bolt, and one washer between the two wood frames to protect the finish on your wood frames. The chair should now swing open, but there will be nothing to keep the chair from staying open. See next step . . . Build the propup support as shown above. Attach with bolts and washers to the backrest frame, in the remaining predrilled bolt hole. Rest between seatframe slats. You will be able to move the prop up to adjust the angle of the chair. Time to make that sling. Special thanks to Grace's Grandma for sewing these slings :) Cut fabric into two squares as directed in cut list. With right sides together, and using a 1/4” seam, stitch around entire rectangle, leaving a 5” opening on one long side.
Clip corners and turn project inside out. Slip stitch opening closed. Finger press or iron project so edges are fully expanded and no edges are tucked inside. Using a larger stitch length, topstitch edges along both (long) sides only. A decorative stitch is optional. Finish edges by tucking thread into project. Fold bottom and top over 1 1/2” to create “sleeves.” Topstitch using same seam allowance as on the sides. Finish edges by tucking thread into project. By threading the slings through the chair headers, then threading the dowels in the "sleeves" you create a sling that is held in place sturdily, but is easy to remove to wash or change the look up.Skip to Main Content Buy today, get free shipping for the next 30 days Overall Product Weight: 7lb.

Amazon has a list of products called “Movers and Shakers,” which is pretty much just fancy talk for things that are currently ~trending~. Here are some of the coolest and most useful things found on the list this week: A kit for making the coolest pom poms you’ve ever seen.My daughter has put pom poms all over the house!” —Dana L. A pressure washer (that looks like Mike from Monster’s Inc.) to help you clean off your deck, house, lawn furniture, car, boat, patio…. You get the picture. Promising review: “I pressure washed my wood deck for four hours straight. The pressure washer never lost pressure. It stripped the baked-on mold like a pro. I love this machine! The multiple hose nozzles makes it easy to pick the right pressure. Can’t wait to use it on my concrete deck next and the rock walls of my house.” —Amazon Customer A charcoal peel-off mask that’s so much better than using typical pore strips. Promising review: “Made my face so soft and got all the pesky blackheads!” —stormxoxo
Chuckit balls for your dog — *perfect* for games of fetch in the water. Promising review: “The best dog balls we’ve ever bought. My labs love these balls; in fact I can honestly say they are obsessed with them. These balls are rubber, very bouncy, they float, and my dogs haven’t been able to chew these up like regular tennis balls. And these balls are not furry, so the dirt and grass doesn’t stick like it does on regular tennis balls. I hate picking up a tennis ball that is all furry and matted with dirt. I think our dogs feel the same way because whenever it’s time to play, they bring us these and they ignore the tennis balls!” —Jean1960 Wedge sandals from Clarks that are as comfortable as they are cute. Promising review: “I love these sandals and if I could afford it, I would buy some in every color. They are a decent height and still very comfortable.” —Stylerunner Cheery inspirational stickers to use in a weekly planner. Promising review: “These stickers are adorable!
Easy to read and even to reposition if you don’t press them down too hard. They fit in many popular planners and just add a nice touch to your pages!” —Allison Padgett A frog that’ll make urinal training cute (probably still messy, but cute). Promising review: “My son loves this. He caught right on to going potty in the frog. It is fun for him and he’s able to stand right in front of it and go potty as opposed to me holding him as he stands on a stool and tries to go in a ‘big toilet.’ I totally recommend this!!!” —Tawnie Malone A pool float that’ll allow you to quite literally be “somewhere over the rainbow” when you sit on it. Promising review: “It is comfortable and easy to get onto. We have a cottage on the lake and these floating chairs are essential. This is the best one I have found. The one I bought last year was such a hit that I bought another. You cannot go wrong for the price. I like how you can dangle your feet through the hole if you like, which is good for either cooling off or kicking to navigate.” —Mary
A golf set for petite putters. Promising review: “Great buy!! Golf ball is big enough for my two year old to hit. The yellow cup/hole is big enough to hit all three balls into it. And my son also loves the golf bag/cart it comes it. He puts his toys inside and drags and pushes it around. It’s more than just golfing!” —DJL75 A set of dumbbells for people who would prefer to work out at home rather than at the gym. Promising review: “Cute weights. Love the colors and the material is soft so they stay in your hand without hurting them.” —Lauren A rack you can attach to the top of a patio umbrella to keep all your shit up off the ground. Promising review: “Handy hooks for blankets and other beach gear. Keeps sand off of towels and cameras.” —Alan N. Arbuckle Temporary fabric adhesive that’ll allow you to reposition things with ease (and without using pins). Promising review: “Makes basting a breeze. There are many video tutorials on YouTube providing instructions for basting using adhesive.
It is really easy and fast. Once you’ve got the quilt, batting, and top flat on a surface, you can baste the quilt in 10 minutes.” —Peace Train Binder clips that will make staying organized a much prettier affair. Promising review: “Very cute and perfect for teachers. These binder clips have a variety of different colors and patterns that add fun to dreaded paperwork at work or at home. They function well and are made of quality material that feels similar to that of plain old black binder clips.” —Ashley A pet odor neutralizer that you’ll fall in love with if you have a pet who tends to have ~accidents~ in the house. Promising review: “This product does everything it claims to do. After our older cat used a room due to renal failure, I had spent over $135 on a competitive line of products and the smell only got worse no matter what we did. One application of Angry Orange and problem solved.” —GG A book for Seinfeld fans. This book will be released tomorrow (July 5).
