Upgrade your outdoor space with this beautifully designed DIY elevated net lounge bed we call the Stargazer Hanging Bed. It combines comfort, style, and durability, making it the perfect project for any homeowner or host looking to create a relaxing escape.

Big enough to stretch out solo or cozy up with someone you love, this netted daybed invites you to slow down. Feel the breeze drift underneath on a hot afternoon. Dry off after a dip in the lake. Watch the clouds roll by or settle in under the stars. The tensioned netting keeps you supported without the awkward sag, so you can share the space without rolling into each other.

Crafted from sturdy wood posts and marine-grade netting, this hammock bed is designed to handle the elements and look great doing it. And because it's a DIY build, you get the pride of creating something both beautiful and functional.

Perfect for your backyard retreat, lakeside cabin, beach house, sauna zone, or short-term rental that needs a wow factor.

Add a Sailor’s Pillow and you’ve officially created the best nap spot you never knew you needed.
