How to Hang a Hammock Chair Indoors?
Do you find yourself yearning for those leisurely outdoor moments spent on the beach? Well, why not bring some of that relaxed ambiance into your home by hanging a hammock chair indoors? A hanging hammock chair is a comfortable, stylish piece of furniture that can add a touch of relaxation to your indoor space. However, properly installing a hammock chair is crucial to ensure safety and comfort, allowing your hammock chair to comfortably bear weight. Here are some simple steps to guide you on how to hang a hammock chair indoors.
Tools You'll Need:
- Stud finder
- Electric drill and drill bits
- Hammock chair hardware kit
- Pencil
- Tape measure
- Wrench
Step 1: Determine the Hanging Location for the Hammock Chair
You can hang a hammock chair in almost any part of your house or garden, including treehouses, sunrooms, playrooms, bedrooms, porches, or basements. However, the specific location will depend on the layout of your room. For safety and comfort, it's best to choose a sturdy structure, such as a roof beam or solid wall.
Considerations include:
Practicality: Is this location the most ideal and comfortable?
Space: Is there enough room for the hammock chair to swing and for easy access?
Strength: Is the chosen spot sturdy enough to support the weight?
Step 2: Locate and Mark Bolt Positions
Use a stud finder to locate ceiling joists or internal beams. Make sure to mark both sides of the joist with a pencil. It's crucial to drill into the center of the joist or beam. Clearly mark the spots.
Step 3: Drill a Hole for the Eye Bolt
Once the positions are marked, drill a hole using the drill bit, ensuring it's in the center of the beam or joist. Keeping the drill as perpendicular as possible is important for the eye bolt to be straight.
Step 4: Screw in the Eye Bolt
After drilling the hole, find the swivel included in the hardware kit, insert it into the freshly drilled hole, and then use the wrench to tighten it securely.
Step 5: Measure and Install the Hammock Chair
Once the eye bolt is inserted, take measurements to determine how much chain or rope you'll need. Ensure your hammock chair hangs no lower than 20 inches from the ground. Once you have the right amount of chain/rope, attach it to the spring link and hang it on the eye bolt. Measure the distance from the bottom of the chair to the ground to ensure it's not lower than 20 inches.
Step 6: Check for Safety
Slowly apply some weight to the hammock, but avoid sitting directly in it to test. Give the chains/ropes a few quick tugs to ensure they hold securely.
Step 7: Relax and Enjoy
By properly installing your hammock chair, you can create a cozy, relaxing corner indoors, allowing you to enjoy the outdoorsy feel right in your own home.
Hanging a hammock chair indoors is not just about adding a stylish touch to your space; it's about creating a sanctuary where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. By following the simple steps outlined above, you can ensure that your hammock chair is securely installed, allowing you to fully enjoy its comfort and charm.
Whether you're seeking a cozy spot for quiet reflection, a playful nook for daydreaming, or a comfortable corner for leisurely lounging, your indoor hammock chair beckons with the promise of relaxation and rejuvenation. So go ahead, take the time to craft your own tranquil retreat within the walls of your home, and let the gentle sway of your hammock chair whisk you away to a world of peace and serenity.
