Things You'll Need
3/4″ and/or 1/2″ PVC pipe
4 PVC corners
4 PVC caps
Threaded to nonthreaded PVC adapters
Strong fabric or old pillowcases
Hacksaw
Sewing machine
Heavy-duty thread
_____________

Instructions
1
Measure your dog to determine how much "resting" area he requires. Buy enough PVC pipe to cover the construction of a frame replicating your measurement, plus additional pipe to create four legs. Use a hacksaw to cut down the piping.

2
Calculate the amount of fabric you'll require for your dog hammock by doubling the width and length of the frame area so there's extra material for hems and future "sagging."

3
Frame up the rectangular body of the hammock using four corner pieces and predetermined lengths of PVC piping. Fit the frame together and make necessary adjustments. Use plastic glue to reinforce the pipe and joint frame.

4
Use the hacksaw to cut four leg pieces from the PVC pipe, erring on the side of caution by making them a little longer than your measurement.

5
Pin up hems on four sides of the fabric and sew them into place. Spread the hemmed sling over the long sides of the rectangle, folding them over to create pockets that will secure the cloth to the frame. Stitch the pockets down securely.

6
Fasten the four legs to the PVC rectangle. Attach the caps.

7
Decorate your dog's hammock with any trim you prefer.
