Install A Hammock In A Bedroom

Cotton is often used to create a rope hammock.








Many benefits arise from using a hammock as a bed due to its shape and motion. To save room, hang a hammock across a corner. The hammock can hold toys during the day when not being used and provide a sound sleep during the night. A backyard hammock hung from hooks or poles in the bedroom helps with back aches and the swaying helps with sleeplessness.


Instructions


1. Scan the walls with a stud finder on each side of the corner in which you want to hang the hammock. The studs should be at least 6 feet from the corner to create enough room to hang your hammock.








2. Measure four feet up from the floor on the studs found on the wall. Make an X on the stud with a pencil.


3. Drill a 3/16-inch hole into the center of the stud with a cordless drill. The hole needs to be slightly smaller than the eye bolt.


4. Twist the eye bolt into the drilled hole and put the screwdriver inside the eye to twist the bolt all the way into the wall until the eye touches the wall. Place the other eye bolt into the other hole in the adjacent wall.


5. Attach the ropes on each end of the hammock into the eye bolts. Check that the ropes are tight on the eyes before laying in the hammock.
