You can get some 3/8 poly rope from Home Depot. Very easy to do. You can use some aluminum wire gate carabiners but you don’t need them. Just take a length of rope and double it over and then you can feed that through the eye screw in the wall. The working end can tie to your hammock via a simple becket hitch

I am having trouble finding ropes to hang my hammock, preferably cotton, and what length should the bolts be? Also any carabiner suggestions?

You’ve got the solution: put a bolt higher on one side. This is true if you’re literally fists to cuffs for room. If your hang distance is a little longer you can actually just shift your foot end closer to the anchor than the head end (instead of being even) and the hang will be the same as if you hung the foot end higher.

My hammock, as many other outdoor camping hammocks as you know require the foot end to be higher than the head end. Any suggestions on how to account for this indoors with such short distances? I’m thinking this would require the foot end eye bolt or hanging hardware to be installed higher than the head side on the wall. Thanks for all your great information and book. By the way, I’m an ASM and past SM. Also, now involved with White Stag Sierra. Happy hanging and Scout on!
Terry

Yeah, that’s tricky. I’d much prefer something I knew was solid and not going to move.

Did you ever hang a hammock from the ceiling instead of the walls? I want to hang a hammock but my house doesn’t have two suitable walls. Behind my walls the studs are made of metal instead of wood 🙁 So i was thinking about the ceiling.
