Thread: Properly hanging a hammock

I got this hammock when I was in Costa Rica a few years ago, and all it has done is sit in basement waiting to be installed.

I want to install it on the screened porch in the pictures.

Does anyone know how to go about properly installing it? I'm thinking I need two bolts that go through the beam, along with some really big washers... The hammock is roughly 9 feet eye to eye.

get your self a couple of these... there should be solid framing in between each screen

yeah, i live in the hammock capital of the world... i get them things for cheap. we have 6 in the yard...

all you need is an eye hook, and a tree

I prefer a hammock stand myself. That way, you can move it where ever you want; trees or no trees.

Absolutely, that would sound to be a better option as compared to the other things. I think that this will without a doubt be termed as one of the best things to be implemented from the perspective of those who have been quite accustomed to its comforting effects.
