No hammocks hanging on the wall

With the popularity of indoor hammocks in sleep, relaxation and decoration, you may find yourself in a hammock that you want to be indoors, but without adequate support structures or locations that allow you to destroy walls or ceilings. In particular, apartments often limit this use. So how do you do it?

The first and perhaps the easiest solution is to use a hammock. Because the most suitable for indoor use in Mexico, Central American and South American style hammocks are not suitable for standard hammock brackets, you will need brackets such as Vario brackets with adjustable length and height to accommodate these hammocks.

  Advantages of using a stand include no structure and portability. Disadvantages include large objects occupying an area.

The second solution is suitable for situations where the structure is not suitable for hanging hammocks; however, there is no place to prohibit the installation of buildings on walls and ceilings. We use this method in one of our hammock shops, where the walls are somewhat uncertain.

• 
  
  
  
  First, you need structural wood, such as two 4x4, long enough to span the ceiling to the floor.


• 
  
  
  
  You will then use the gussets to attach the 4x4s to the ceiling joists and floor. If you can, you can bury some long wood screws in the wall studs.


• 
  
  
  
  This is the basic method. You may have to adapt to your specific situation.


• 
  
  
  
  The advantages of this approach include the potential for solid support that you may not be able to solve.


• 
  
  
  
  The downside, of course, is that it works a bit, you have broken the ceiling and the floor. This is a method for long-term installation.

The third solution is to use when you need a sturdy installation, but you can't connect to the room structure or damage any surface.

• 
  
  
  
  The process here is to use a pair of Ellis screw jacks to compress the two 4x4 between the floor and the ceiling.


• 
  
  
  
  You need to use 2x6 or 2x8 wood parts to protect the floor and ceiling to distribute the load.


• 
  
  
  
  Screw the base of the jack into 2x8s.


• 
  
  
  
  Then, you will span two 2x4 intervals of two 2x4 intervals across the intersection. These will require the use of screws and straight straps to connect to the vertical top.


• 
  
  
  
  The jack is rated at 6,000 lbs at the 7-foot extension, 2,000 lbs for the 4x4 vertical line, and 800 lbs across the 2x4s [doubling].


• 
  
  
  
  The advantages of this installation include a very rugged arrangement that can be easily removed if needed without leaving traces.


• 
  
  
  
  If applicable, the shortcomings may involve problems with the WAF [wife accepts factors].

So, with a little work and a lot of love, you can hang them high and then lower them. Happy hanging!
