Tie the Corners of Your Homemade Hammock to the Sides of the Cage

Finished Hammock

The hammock is simply tied to the sides of the cage. The hammock is ready to go!

Tie the fleece piece into position in your cage. This can take a bit of stretching and fiddling, as you'll want to pull the sides of the hammock nice and tight to keep it from sagging. If necessary, you can cut a bit deeper in the corners to make the ties easier to work with.

Once all the corners are tied, your hammock is ready to go!

(You might want to make it a little more level than I did for this photo!)
