While we typically expect to see and use a hammock outdoors, there is no reason why we can't setup and use a hammock indoors and enjoy year round comfort and relaxation.

The best way to hang your hammock will be determined by the current features of your house, so some ideas will work for some and not for others.

Decide which room you wish to hang your hammock from, maybe a bedroom, lounge or a sunroom! Consider the size of the room and what existing features you can use to support a hammock and your weight. You want around 3.5m - 4m of width with the hammock ends hung around 1.5-2m high. This will give it a nice banana hammock curve. 

Perhaps you have exposed ceiling beams from which you can simply tie rope around and secure your hammock to. If you can't get a rope around a beam, check with your local hardware stock for potential fittings such as Screw Eye hooks that can be screwed directly into the beams. Then you can attach your rope to these.

Similarly if you have brick walls you can hardware such as 'dynabolts' or concrete screws to fix into your walls. In Mexico this is a very popular method and many houses have inbuilt hammock attachments in their brick walls. 

For walls with plaster board, you want to find a solid wall stud or joist that you can screw a hook through the plaster board into. One on each side with the same dimensions as mentioned above. They don't have to be aligned (but should be level), and can be on a angle across the room such as the picture above. Again from this you can then attach a rope from to your hammock. 

When screwing into walls try and ensure that both screws or hooks are at the same level so the weight and pressure on them is equally distributed.

If you are still unsure, we suggest you ask a local builder or handyman to setup your fixtures for you. A small, quick and inexpensive job yet once done you can them easily hang and enjoy your hammock year round whatever the weather! You can also simply just take down one end of the hammock and hang both ends off the one hook when you want your room space back. Short on room, try hanging your hammock over your bed, or using it instead of a bed.

Enjoy the reminder of the warm weather, and then continue to enjoy your hammock indoors with Hammock Shop USA.
