Sebastian, there are several ways to hang your hammock inside. For each anchor point, I attached a 6' 2x4 horizontally on my wall so it crossed several inside...

I wouldn't trust solitary studs, old or new. And don't string straight out from the walls. My first attempt was just that, and when I first put weight on the...
Ed, You aren't the cause of global warming. take a look at sun spot activity with this URL very interesting. http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/dec/06122210.html...
