Hammock Garden

What’s better than relaxing in a hammock in the shade with your friends? There is no other feeling like it. We’re hoping to achieve that feeling at Valley View Schools. Our plan is to make a hexagon shape with poles all ten feet in length with a fifteen foot one in the middle. All the poles will be made out of wood. There will be hooks three feet off the ground in between all of the outside poles and with the outside poles and the middle one. Along with a large canvas spread across the whole hexagon to provide shade.There will be trash cans provided to throw away trash and reduce trash from just sitting around on the ground. Once finished it can be used as a relaxation area, reading area, or for anything else that involves school. This design can be placed and built in multiple areas in the Valley View school district and will allow for a great place to go in free time. There are some 3D designs but they are only viewable in the Valley View high school EAST classroom during class times. Article, photos, and video by Nate Mullen
