- 1). Locate a mounting structure for the hammock. The mounts you choose should be able to support the hammock and its maximum weight limit.
- 2). Drill a small pilot hole roughly 4 to 5 feet from the bottom of both supports. Depending on the size of your hammock's mounting hardware, your bit size ming vary. Begin with a 5/16-inch bit if you do not know the size of the hardware.
- 3). Insert the mounting screw hooks into the pilot holes. The mounting screw hooks have deep threading and a protruding, S-shaped hook. Tap them into the pilot holes with your screwdriver to seat them firmly.
- 4). Grasp the S-hooks, and twist them completely into the supports. Most mounting hooks have a Phillips or slotted screw head that allow further tightening.
- 5). Hang one end of the hammock by placing the mounting chain or loop over the S-hook. Repeat for the other side of the hammock.
- 6). Test your installation by sitting squarely in the middle of the hammock, and gently reclining.
