Question:

Should I hang my hammock with the hooks at 45 degrees upward for more support?

I want to hang my hammock inside from studs in the wall. Would the studs and the hammock hooks support my weight better if I were to s***w the hooks in at a 45 degrees upwards (rather than 90 degrees outwards, perpendicular to the wall)?

Any and all help is much appreciated, but it would be best if you could back up your answer! Thank you

  1. as long as you have a good anchor will not matter the angle


  2. 45 downward would give you the most pull-out resistance.  90 will work fine and be easier to install.  Drill a pilot hole first, obviously smaller than the hooks.  At a 45 upwards, your hooks will be 'in-line' with the pull of the rope and therefore could get yanked out easier.
