Hang a bar (such as a chain link fence top rail) from the ceiling and hang your hammock from that
Spax and GRK make some very good screws. I’ve used boxes and boxes of both brands for structural work and no call backs. Only thing I’d add to them is a washer and I’d go get hardened washers to use for this. DO NOT USE DRYWALL SCREWS! They’re great for drywall and really lightweight duty not hanging a hammock from.
I finally bit the bullet and started my garden hammock project.
I installed two gate posts (9 feet by 6inch square).
Because I have a very small garden they are fitted at the edges and needed to be discreet.
Dug out two holes 39 inches deep and put in 3 inches of pea shingle in each, dropped in the gate posted with "post savers" fitted.
Postcreted them in.
Now all dry I've tried them loads over the last few weeks.
I'm a big lad at 260lbs and they don't noticeably move at all.
Installed a two inch block on the back of each post for the webbing straps to catch on, Just two double loops of webbing and I'm good to go.
Don't know why I waited so long to do it, it's fantastic and I now can use them for a long time.
Thanks for all the advice guys.

OK. I'm down to try the indoor hang for two weeks as the season runs down. I have another month or two but I am a wimpy packer who does not like snow. Or heavy rain for that matter if I can avoid it.
I am thinking of making it an adjustable set up to dial in my sweet spot. What I am thinking of doing is taking a 2x4 and putting eyebolts in it in 1" intervals (or something) and then fixing that to the wall on one end and having the other end fixed.
Are there better ideas?
I have a set of wall tracks, they make height adjustments easy.
