Hi all-
Does anyone have any ideas of how to hang a hammock inside without damaging my walls or doors? Thanks.
Happy Hangin'

I used a stud finder to find multiple studs together and used them. Studs near Door ways and windows are usually doubled up for strength to support headers. Find the middle stud and screw in a lag screw with a hook or eye on the end. It has worked for me for over a year so far.

This. Although my preference is using structural screws instead of lag screws. They have a smaller diameter, reducing the chances of splitting or cracking the studs while having greater load capacity. Since they don't have an eye at the end, I use hardware that mounts with two screws and provides an attachment point for a carabiner.

Here's a good discussion with several options and pictures of my setup (and others): https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ructural+screw. You can also search and find lots of other posts and ideas.

You can try this, but beware of cheap new construction doors, they are typically hollow and poorly made. Also, make sure your hinges aren't missing screws. You may even want to run larger wood screws into the stud, you'll know real fast. Here's how I've done it in the past.

I use standard strap/toggle with whoopies. Put a large knot on the non-toggle end of your strap. Open your door and place the knot on the other side of the door, make sure you're on the hinge side, close the door. Sit very softly in the hammock.

Try 4 pipe rail fittings like these for the legs <http://www.buyrailings.com/p-1370-single-swivel-socket.aspx>
Use some 1"galvanized steel electrical conduit from lowes, home depot, etc.
can also be done with fence top rail pipe.

there are other companies with similar fittings and lower costs I searched for - Pipe rail fittings

I've been considering doing some kind of system between garage walls. a) less likely to care about holes in the wall b) could string across from ext to ext wall which could hold more weight and c) I could leave the garage door open at night to test different temps and sleeping systems.
