How to Hang a Hammock Chair

The first step to hammock relaxation is determining the sweet spot! Where will your hammock chair hang to provide the very best in serenity and comfort? Take a look around your abode and see if any of these options might work:

• Sturdy tree branches
• Solid arbor main post (minimum 4x4)
• Covered porch/deck ceilings

If after scanning your home you don't see any of these options, don't worry! Hammock chair bliss can still be yours with the use of a hammock chair stand! As an added bonus, stands work well indoors and out providing a whole new world of hammock hanging opportunities!

Now that you've found the ideal spot, let's get to work making those lazy summer daydreams of rocking in the breeze a reality! Most hammock chairs don't require drilling holes, which is a true blessing for those of us not power tool savvy, but if you own a drill and you know how to use it, here's how to secure your hammock!

How to hang a hammock chair using a drill:

Step 1: Drill appropriate sized holes (based on hook size) into a strong overhead beam.

Step 2: Screw in hammock hooks designed to support a person's weight.

Step 3: Use a carabiner or knot to fasten the eye of the chair onto the hook.

How to hang a hammock chair, no power tools necessary!

Rope provides a simple option for hanging hammock chairs without the use of a drill. Here's how!

Step One: Find a sturdy, free standing beam such as a strong tree branch or a solid arbor frame.

Step Two: Wrap rope around the beam or branch to secure the hammock chair either by looping the rope through the hammock eye and tying a knot, or with use of a carabiner attached to the rope and hammock. For safety we recommend using a rope that is rated to hold at least 1000lbs.

Swing Safe

For the safest and most relaxing experience, never hang a hammock chair on a beam or branch that shows signs of rotting, no matter how strong it may appear!
