Just being "that guy" to throw out some caution... yeah, that's me...I use my hammock stand in the basement.
It's just safer with some interior walls IMHO. Those side forces are extensive for a big guy like me and I hate out of square walls.
Here is my interior setup, next to the wifes indoor exercise bike and my test setup, I have been sleeping there for months, I sleep better, my back always feels great, and my wife can sleep peacefully. In flat beds I tend to roll around at night.

I'm simply using these 3/8" lag screw eyebolts from Home Depot to hang my hammock. They screw plenty deep into the studs.
The lag screw portion is as long and thick as the bolts provided in the ENO kit.
That's the way to go!

I started with the big beefy eyebolts but then I got in the Eno kit which I like better. The lag bolts on the Eno kits are really big and the shape of the bracket seems to be really good for the purpose. I also got in this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...ilpage_o03_s01 but the 2 bolts look like less than the 1 bolt with the Eno kit and I decided that between the two of them I prefered the Eno one.
There is no way in the world that the Eno kit will let you down if it is bolted into the middle of studs, very secure feel to it.
That's almost exactly what I've got going. The far wall is brick, so I had to use a cement bolt, but it has held up perfectly for almost a year now.

For some reason I have this feeling you should run glue into the hole in the brick wall ahead of and on the screw. Not sure if that will work but I have seen expansion bolts fail, at least when screwed into actual brick. It would probably be better if the screw went in between bricks and was in the cement. Or maybe even set two screws to spread the load...
The thing that really bothers me is that the bricks/cement could crumble due to variances in the load as you get in and out of the hammock. There is no flex in the cement/bricks so it needs to be REALLY solid.
