Before I began to construct my 1:1 model I quickly sketched up the preliminary net design as a reference.
Initial idea with only 1 lock in the centre
Developed idea with 2 locks for extra strength
I started with the locking system being at the middle of the seat but realised there was too much pressure on the lock and after prolonged use, it would wear the lock out. So something had to be changed. So I decided to have the seat join from the middle and fold down into the inside of the structure. I also added a base to lock all the sides together so it wouldn't move around. Finally I added two loose pieces inside the structure to provide extra support to the seat.

I still need to adjust a few measurements but am quite happy with the overall finish.
