Things You Will Need

Step 1 Select The Right Stud

• The most crucial part of hanging a hammock is
  selecting the right stud. You should never hang
  your hammock off of your drywall. It will not
  only damage your wall but also can pull it apart.
• That is why you have to find the best studs over
  your head. Especially the ones that work as a
  beam for your roof. These are the ideal ones to
  hang your hammock from.
• Do not hang your hammock from the deck ceiling
  woods. Only the larger studs are ideal for this.

Step 2 Drill Some Holes

• After you have selected your stud, it is time to
  drill some holes. Put on a ? drill bit and start
  drilling. You will need to drill at least 4
  inches to make it strong enough to hold some
  weight.

Step 3 Insert The Eye Bolt Hooks

• After drilling the holes, screw the eye bolt
  hooks. If it seems a bit tight and you cant go
  further, you can use a screwdriver and tight the
  hooks some more.
• One thing you have to keep in mind, the distance
  between one hammock anchor to another shouldnt
  be more than 16 ft. As hammocks are made with
  stretchy material, they will sag in the middle of
  the anchor is too wide.

Step 4 Secure The Hammock With A Chain/Rope

• Now you are ready to hang your hammock. Your
  hammock should be 4ft above the ground. So adjust
  the height you want and use a rope or chain to
  secure it on both ends.
• If you are going to use ropes, you might need to
  learn a few knot and loop tricks to secure it
  firmly. A better option would be using a
  carabiner to make it easy and worry-free.
• But if you are opting for a chain to hang your
  hammock, you wont have to learn any loops and it
  will be long lasting. 
• After you have secured both ends of the hammock,
  test if it is good enough to take on some weight.
  And you are good to relax on it from now on.

The Hammock Is Up And Ready!
