    Depending on what's already in the room, you could put anchors on the walls ~9' out from each corner, and string the hammocks diagonally across each corner. When everyone's sleeping, it would would leave a smallish 13x13 space in the center of the room, but in the morning you can unhook the hammocks and have the whole space free.

    I have been hanging in my van for the past two months, and after two days in a regular bed, my back was killing me so I decided to bring in my hammock, and set it up in the basement. I don't know if I will ever be able to sleep in a bed again.

    Hi there

    I would like to hang a hammock in my room (cinder block / concrete wall) and maybe in the living room of my parents place (brick wall.)

    How would you fix a Hook into these Walls? Are screws, and anchor bolts enough?

    In my room, a large part of floor space is taken up by an oak frame bed in the corner. As I would rather land on my bed, than on an edge of it (and probably bash in my skull).

    Any advice on hanging a Hammock with ropes of different lengths?

    Indoor hammock hanging help



    This is my indoors set up, sleep in it every night. I screwed an eye hook in to a wall stud on both ends. Then I have a small hook on the other side of the closet door so I can store the hammock out of the way during the day. I then reattach it before i climb in to bed.

    What bolts did you use?

    I want to say the unit cost me c:$25.00. It was worth it. I found the edges from both directions, located true center, drilled a pilot hole, then a bigger one. The mounts are very sturdy and held me up nicely. I used the indoor hang because the hot and humid Florida weather is brutal during the summer, but I still want to hang. Now I hang indoors.

    The bolts came with the mount, along with instructions on the size of the pilot holes before drilling the bigger holes (I don't remember the size of the bolts).

    So is it a 3/8 eye bolt? Is there math to support this size?

    Because there was recent mention of brick or cement blocks ... understand that those materials are chosen and construction to support a compression force DOWN on the material. A Hammock will put a shear force OUT from the side. I'm sure many of us have seen that YouTube video where the person has a hammock attached to a cement block pillar by a pool and it pulls the pillar down. Going though sheet rock into wood is probably more secure, If they are meaty 2x4's and set in firmly. But they too were designed for a compression up/down load and not an in/out pull. Just say'n.
