Learn How to Hang a Hammock Indoors without Damaging Walls :

Place the hammock tied to two walls

It can be walls at right angles or parallel. In this case, it is more complicated since you would have to match the distance between the walls and the length of the hammock. It is also likely that you will stay in the middle of a step.

It is essential; you make sure that the walls where you place the anchor (you have to make sure that the anchor itself can support at least 100kg of weight) are at least 14cm thick. You can check yourself, for example in a doorstep make a knuckle. If the sound is deaf, then it is most likely a thick wall if the bit is hollow, then it will be a partition. It is not advisable to anchor a hammock to a partition.

Place the hammock tied to the ceiling

The second option is to anchor the hammock to the roof. It gives you much more flexibility than the choice of the wall (you can place it exactly where you want). However, you will have to take into account some aspects.

False ceiling:

It may happen that the place where you want to anchor it has a false ceiling. When it comes to a false ceiling of plasterboard, it is easy to notice. It is more difficult when it comes to a false plaster ceiling (they usually have a thickness that is large enough to make the roof look like a hole). It is best to do the test with the drill.

It is essential to go and look for the structure of the building. The most appropriate thing is to hang the hammock from the wooden pole. Of course, only in the case that it is in excellent condition. In any case, we must be cautious if a new crack appears in the beam and in that case remove it immediately.

In the case of concrete structures, it is best to anchor it to the beams, in the center (but you can find some armor, and you cannot wholly insert the cue).

Necessary space and height

You need to know the standard space and height of the hanging hammock to make it comfortable. The ideal high to long ratio is 1:2. If you do not hang a hammock with enough space, it will not be comfortable. The standard distance to hang a hammock is 3-4 meters. If you found the considerable distance, you can compensate it with a rope between hammock and hooks.

Ideal height for fixing to the wall: 1.8-2.3 m. If you extend the hammock with a rope, it may be higher. At its lowest point, the hammock should be about 30 cm above the ground. However, remember that a new hammock has not yet stretched, so it must be somewhat higher at the beginning.

Tip: As almost all frames are too small, you should hang the hammock too tight, so they lose much comfort.

Hammock with a brick wall

It is easy to assemble: Drill the holes, insert the pins, screw the hangers and hang the hammock. If you have a good brick or cement wall, we recommend the 4-bolt wall hook. The four screws distribute the load. In this way, you can mount with appropriate 8mm pins and resistant screws.

For other brick walls, we recommend using screws that penetrate deeper into the wall. With a set of eyebolts, pins, carabiners, and ropes you can hang a bomb-proof hammock on a brick wall. Further, you can make it lower and attach with a simple handle. If necessary, you can put a drop of oil on the screw thread before screwing to prevent the pin from drifting.

Hammock to a plaster wall

Gypsum is a type of light partitions which cannot take heavy loads. To hang a hammock to this type of wall, you must place a fixing bracket. For example, you can set it in the bathroom or the washbasin.

However, this is a complex task. We recommend consulting with an expert. With a little creativity, find an alternative solution! For example, you can screw a post to the wall. In this way, the rope hangs taut in a triangle with another partition or mounts the hammock on the roof.
