Indoor Hanging spot

[Varg]

Hi,

I whould like to install some sort of hanging system in my sleeping room.
I was thinking of something like just ot strong hooks.
Only 1 problem: 1 have only one solid wall. All the rest is drywall so not really sturdy. Can I hang it in the drywall with some special tools?
or are there anyother options?

You can hang in the dry wall as long as you get the hook in a stud.

That's assuming you have wooden studs. I sure as heck wouldn't hang on a metal stud - too flimsy.

There's always the ceiling, but that's a bit harder to work out. Imminently doable, though.

I always wondered about this, my mattress is really old and I always felt that a Hammock would be better for me sleeping wise. I only was able to hang downstairs in my basement attaching it to these poles/beams that I have. I was able to find this online - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...3124737AATitak

I also found this,

That might be a better guide than the first link I posted

Good luck and let me know the outcome : ) Hopefully I can do a similiar setup

I found a solution.

Just found a second wall that is solid. Strangly enough it never occured me to look for it.
