Sunnydaze Outdoor Hammock Chair Swing – Hanging Hammock Swing – Hanging Reading Chair – Soft-Spun Polyester Rope – Caribbean XL – Tan

Guys, this weekend I had a dream of mine come true! (see photos) I am 6″ 2″ and this is big enough to completely stretch out on, with my legs out in front of me. It definitely supports my weight. I like that the weave is a little tighter than others, it seems much less likely to rip. the color is also nice. There are a couple finishes that stuck out (one or two areas where you can see where a string was tied off and the end was a little frayed. But man, this is just perfect. I’m so happy.Now, I want to take a minute to talk about hanging. We had the HARDEST time finding a tutorial on how to hand a hammock chair indoors for adults. I’m on the other side of 200 and I don’t want to cause ceiling damage to my home. We’d originally gotten a kit of hardware, but we soon realized that it was not going to do the job. We ended up going to the hardware store 6 times before we got it all figured out, so let me try to cut out some of the worry for you.To hold 300 pounds in a hammock chair hung indoors:What you will need (and where to find it at the store):a 1/2 inch by 12-inch eye bolt (hardware section at Home Depot; it wasn’t at our Lowe’s). It was about $3 or $4two half-inch washers (hardware section) About 15-20 centstwo half-inch nuts (hardware section) About 15-20 centsscrews or nails. We used about 10 – #10 3-inch screws (hardware) got a 25 pack for $4, but if you’re using zinc, re-drill the holesa 2 x 6 x 5 board (lumber, they’ll cut it)2 – 2 x 4 boards cut to the space between the joists where you want to hang your hammock (lumber section, they’ll cut it)two s-hooks (with at least 300 pound capacity – we found in the chain section)a porch (or another type is fine) spring (with at least 300 pound capacity – we found in the chain section and/or around hardware)a swivel hook (best to get a big hook that swivels, but we ended up having to get a double-ended swivel and a hook separately- chain section)a drill with a drill bit and a 1/2 inch bitPick where you want the chair to hangdrill a 1/2 inch hole through the ceilingdrill a 1/2 inch hole in the middle of your 2x6go in the attic, put the 2×4’s between the joists and secure with screws or nailsdrill up through them with the 1/2 inch bit (or mark them, bring them down, and drill. If you do this, do not secure until after the eye-bolt is through them)These 2x4s keep your eye bolt from moving as you sway, which protects your sheetrockput a washer on your eye bolt, feed it through the ceiling, through the 2×4 blocksPlace the 2×6 on the joists above the eye bolt, put the eye bolt through the 2×6, put a washer and two nuts on the eye boltTighten the nuts/eye bolt as tight as you canUsing an s-hook, hang the porch spring from the eye bolt, then, using another s-hook, hand the swivel hook from thatClip hammock onto hook (you may need to add chain if your ceiling is higher than ours)I know this is a lot, but I hope it helps. It would have saves us a lot of time to have this from the start. [...]
