Looking for info on which canvas to use to make a "bed" on the bow

A little backround...
The PO had built in on the bow of our new to us Egg Harbor 4 legs/ stands to hold an inflatable
I do not want to put my dink on the bow so I had an idea of turning the 4 "legs" into a hanging bed for the wife to hang on and sun
I was thinking of connecting each side of the legs with wood and then getting some canvas, put in some grommets and use either a rope or cable to connect the canvas to the wood sides to make a "bed" so to speak.

would sunbrella be strong enough the hols a person or two?
or which or what kind of material would work best?

any help would be great and thanks

Re: Which Canvas?

Any canvas will work if attached securely.
I worry about the first time it rains and you develop a 6 ft bird bath on the bow.
Have you considered using netting for something like a Hammock.
Or just removing the legs altogether.
