Hang A Hammock In A Bedroom

Hang your hammock by a window to get some breeze and sunlight.


When most people imagine time spent in a hammock, they envision themselves lounging between palm trees in an exotic country with a tasty beverage in hand, but there is no reason that you can't channel that same relaxation in your bedroom at home. Luckily, all it takes to hang a hammock in your bedroom are a few basic tools and a little time, and you'll be on your way to a new experience of relaxation in short order.


Instructions


1. Choose where to hang your hammock, keeping in mind that a corner is best. A place where the hammock can hang and swing freely will give you the best results. It is also recommended that you hang the hammock about six feet from the ground, to allow for any stretching once you climb inside.


2. Measure carefully so your hammock hangs evenly for maximum comfort.


Find a stud on each wall of the corner you have chosen, using your electronic stud finder. Ideally, the two studs will be 12 to 15 feet apart, although as few as 8 is okay. Mark the center of each wall stud with a pencil, making sure they are each 6 feet from the ground.








3. Drill your holes as carefully as possible into the stud so your wall hooks go in straight.


Drill a hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the wall hook screws, directly on top of each of the two marks you made.


4. Screw one wall hook into each hole. Turn them so that the hooks are left opening upward.


5. Hang your hammock from the hooks, make a frosty beverage, and relax.
