Hardware for inside
Were would I find hardware for hanging a hammock inside?
Lowes or or any home improvement store should have everything you need. What exactly are you looking for?
ENO makes a kit for about $12 If you are planning to hang it from a wall
Maybe a "hardware store"?
You'd *think* 'hardware store' would be the answer, but if you look at any of the stuff you'd use to hang a hammock, it all says 'do not use to support human weight'... including some 'S' hooks that pictured a hammock being hung from it on the package. I know it's just 'CYA' (side funny comment: if you ever really read the disclaimer on the safety goggles one can buy at hardware stores, you'll see they say 'not for use as eye protection'...), but I couldn't find *anything* that didn't say that at any of our hardware stores, except some spring-hooks for hanging swings...
*edit* I just used the hooks that came with my hammock, which seem to be the same ones I found at the hardware store.

Wow, I had no idea ENO made something like that, but sure enough: http://www.rei.com/product/847920/en...ck-hanging-kitOriginally Posted by spectactical
And it claims to support 400lbs!

I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.
It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.
Look at the pad eyes from http://www.bosunsupplies.com/Pad-Eye...Backing-Plate/ they work great for me.

It looks like to use those inside you would need access to both front and back of the stud. Although it would probably be a lot stronger, I imagine most people won't want to tear into their wall
Edit, please correct me if I am mistaken, as again, they do seem to be able to withstand much more stress.

A local hanger used these available from Home Depot along with Spax 2-1/2" zinc multi-material screws.

I have also use these, and they are way stronger than you need, so no worries. Caveat, their strength is dependent on the strength and length of screws used to install them. I got some lag screws of a diameter to fit the holes, and 3'' long, found the exact center of a stud, drilled a small pilot hole, and installed the screws. One or one and a half inch screws inspire no confidence whatever.
