Answer 1

Next to or near a wall with studs and, you make sure it's in a stud with something like lag bolts, long enough to go halfway in the stud. Drill the holes first then the bolt.

Unless you've an hook, well attached to your ceiling with cement or by nailing in the wooden ceiling, during the construction time itself, it's very much safe to hang an hammock.

Visit this link, to see how an hook is nailed into the wooden ceiling. The very look itself gives the strength of the hook. http://www.deepforestiron.com.au/_conten...

Visit this link, for an image of an hook in Cement ceiling:
