Hammock Hanging Tips:

Where to hang your hammock 

Swings can be hung outside or indoors. It is really important your swing is hung securely. If you are hanging it indoors, it needs to be hung on a secure beam or ceiling joist. You can locate a ceiling joist using a stud finder. 

If you don't want to/can't drill into your ceiling, stand alone hammock stands are a great option. Here is a link to show you some examples: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=hammock+hanging+base

Purchasing hardware to hang your hammock

You can go to your local hardware store with a picture of the hammock and they can recommend the supplies you need, but there are also some great kits available online like these ones: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=hammock+chair+hanging+kit

Hanging your hammock at a safe height

It is also important to hang your hammock swing at a safe height, very close to the ground. If you have high ceilings, you’ll need to extend the length of your hammock. You can do this using a securely tied rope or chain which you can purchase at your hardware store. Adjustable, secure ropes that don’t need tying are also available online as an option. 

Here is an example of one: https://www.amazon.com/Startostar-Adjustable-Extension-Conversion-Suspension/dp/B0739SR8P1/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1506961454&sr=8-5&keywords=tree+swing+extension+rope

Other Important safety information:

If you notice any damage to your swing, discontinue use. 

Test that the swing is hung securely before each use.

Never hang your hammock near a open flame or heat source.
