I love the idea of a hanging bed within the garden! I can’t think of another DIY project that would be more appreciated or well used! Especially as the long days of summer come upon us, laying out on a comfie “bed” while enjoying the weather, nature and the scent and sight of my garden seems like Heaven. Oh, and a good book too! Here are a couple of great tutorials on building a hanging bed or swing bed. It’s easier than it looks, basically just requiring a sturdy overhanging support, a frame, some chain or rope…and a comfie mattress or pad and pillows! This could make a great front porch project as well.

DIY Pallet Swing Bed

We really like the Pallet Swing Bed over at The Merry Thought. They have a nice simple tutorial there.

 

DIY Hanging Bed

A little more difficult is this DIY project by the folks at Home Depot. Great detailed instructions for anyone ready to tackle this!

 

And another one from Ana White via HGTV. Nice tutorial there.

Anyone else dying to have one of these?
