How to Hang a Hammock Indoors
Outdoors are the not the only place for a hammock. They can be equally well enjoyed inside whether it is a hammock chair in the lounge for watching TV, or a king size cotton hammock in the bedroom.
Setting up a hammock indoors is quite a fast and easy job. Basically you need a few strong wall attachments for the hammock to fix to. These can vary on the type of wall you’ve, brick/wood etc. For wood you can use something like a screw eye hook which can always be screwed directly into a beam or solid wall joist by hand. Space these out approx 4m apart and at a height so when the hammock is hung it’ll at its lowest point come to rest between your hips and thighs. For a concrete wall you’ll most likely need to pre-drill holes and use a different fixture.
Specialized hammock attachments are great for this or check at your local hardware store, they are most likely to have a range of suitable fixtures and fittings. Just ensure what you get is capable of holding your weight, and so is the wall! We don’t want you going and pulling your house down.
With the wall fittings in place, you can then easily tie up you hammock when in use, and simply untie and remove when you want it out of the way. Using a wall hook is fine for this as you can only take down one side and hook both loops over the one hook, keeping the hammock against the wall and out of the way when not really in use.
If you are hanging a chair hammock indoors, you simply need one solid ceiling beam to attach a fitting to and hang from.
So give it a try, find a spot inside and enjoy your hammock all year circular. Grab a book, your laptop and Mexican blanket, curl up and gently sway away in comfort.
