The balcony in my new home could really use a hammock! Especially now that it's summer, and with the nice view, and protection from rain, and no mosquitoes... mmm
There are thick concrete/brick walls on both sides. I have prepared some really tough-looking plugs, and will get eye bolts and some silicon.
Weight most likely won't be a problem (I'm very light too), but I have some other concerns...
1) Firstly, the balcony is just 3.35 meters or 11 feet wide. I am 189 cm or 6"2½' tall - can I expect decent comfort from this?
2) How high should the bolts be? If I put them at eye height or higher, maybe there will be more ways to adjust the hang...? (Don't want to fall out from the balcony obviously.)
3) I wonder if there would be room for my wife's hammock too - how far apart do the bolts need to be, and how far away from the inner wall?
The hanging wall is 1 meter (39") and I'll probably want at least 10 cm from the edge which leaves 90 cm between the outer hammock and the inner wall.
