Now, you don’t need an ENO Hanging Kit to hang a hammock indoors. However, I thought I would use it in this example to demonstrate how easy the process is.

Of course, another alternative is to get a hammock with a frame or buy the stand separately.

This might be a better option if you wanted to move the hammock around or take it outdoors without having to install a bunch of hanging kits throughout the house.

How to Hang a Hammock Indoors, in 3 Steps

The Eno Indoor Hammock Hanging Kit includes:

Hammock Hanging Kit Parts
Parts Included
  • Anchor bolt hangers (2)
  • Lag screws (2)
  • Washers (2)
  • Detailed installation guide

(This is handy to know because this list gives you the materials you need to essentially build-your-own-kit with parts from your local hardware or home improvement store.)

How to Hang a Hammock Indoors:

Step 1:

Use a stud-finder to locate the studs in your walls. With proper installation to a wall stud, the ENO Kit can support up to 400 lbs in an attached hammock, such as ENO styles.

Step 2:

Next, install the 2 anchor bolt hangers with lag screws and washers to studs in the wall of the room where you want your hammock to be.

Step 3:

Finally, clip your hammock to the bolt hangers. It’s that easy – I wasn’t kidding!

Comparable materials if you decide to buy separately can do the same. Not all hooks and hangers are made the same and will be able to support the same weight, so be sure to check before you buy.

$8 Stud Finder for Hanging a Hammock Indoors the Fool-Proof Way


This small and compact stud finder is not your top-of-the-line tool. However, it costs less than $10 and will do the job just fine. Furthermore, this convenient gadget also comes with a built-in level, and it doesn’t require batteries either.

Since you can easily carry the stud finder around, you’ll probably find that you use it more often than you think. (More than just hanging a hammock indoors.) That makes it a good value in my book.

What About an Indoor Hammock Stand?

Indoor Hammock Stand for Sleeping Inside, Portable, Lightweight and SturdyYou don’t have to drill holes in your walls to enjoy sleeping in a hammock at home. Alternatively, you can get an indoor hammock stand that will hold most standard hammocks.

Hammock stands have the advantage that you can move them around. For example, you can sleep in your hammock inside or outside. In addition, you can move your hammock around your room to find the best spot to sleep.

Plus, you can disassemble the frame and transport your hammock with stand to a beach, a park, a friend’s house or wherever you sleep next. The frame is very sturdy, yet surprisingly lightweight and easy to carry.

 

Snugpak Hammock Cocoon – 5 Ways it Keeps You Warmer

Do you want an easy way to make your hammock warmer while camping outdoors? The Snugpak Hammock Cocoon wraps around the outside of your hammock, completely insulating your bed. Plus, it’s quick and easy to use.

Sleep Warmer in a Snugpak Hammock Cocoon - Camping in Cold Weather

1. The Hammock Cocoon Works Like a Giant Sleeping Bag:

First of all, Snugpak fills its cocoons with Travelsoft filling (similar to sleeping bags). This material retains heat surprisingly well, plus it’s conveniently lightweight for camping and backpacking trips.

Note: I haven’t found an exact temperature rating on the cocoon. However, the general consensus from customers is that it retains heat well down into the 20’s (while also using a sleeping bag).

2. Insulating Outside Your Hammock Retains Heat Better:

Second, the cocoon completely envelopes the hammock itself (not just your body). Therefore, you don’t compress and flatten the insulation as you lay on it.

As a result, you get more effective heat retention without having to pack additional sleeping layers. Not to mention, the complete cocoon fits into a small stuff sack and only weighs about 4 pounds.

Snugpak Cocoon Features for Outer Hammock Insulation

3. “Fitted” Design Helps Keep You Warmer Too:

Third, the cocoon fits snugly around your hammock to minimize excess air flow. (It works similarly to mummy-style sleeping bags that reduce air space with their tapered design.)

In addition, it comes with a full-length zipper, so you can open it partially if you don’t need as much heat. You can conveniently make adjustments without having to get out of your hammock.

4. The Snugpak Cocoon Even Protects You from Rain:

Fourth, the Micro Diamond outer fabric repels water. However, it even retains heat when wet! So, the Snugpak acts virtually like a tent, except that you don’t have to pack and carry as much gear.

5. This Sleep System Also Keeps You Warm in Wind:

Fifth, since the insulation surrounds the outside hammock, it can “deflect” wind chill. Consequently, you can stay comfortably snug, even in the middle of a windy, rainy storm.

Note: The Cocoon Hammock works very much like an underquilt or underblanket. It provides efficient and effective heat insulation, but it cannot support weight. In other words, use your hammock to hold weight, and wrap the cocoon around it like a jacket.

How to Add Extra Insulation with a Hammock Quilt:

If you want to add an extra layer of insulation to your sleep set-up, consider a hammock quilt. Snugpak makes these quilts with the same Travelsoft insulation as the outer cocoon, so you know it’s warm.

In fact, you can use this unique camping quilt instead of a sleeping bag (when used with the cocoon). So, if you find it challenging to get into a sleeping bag inside a hammock, try their sleeping quilt instead.

How to Assemble the 3-Person Hammock Stand:

How to Assemble 3-Person Hammock Stand

Although this triple hammock stand is large in size, it’s really simple to put together. In fact, it works much like regular hammock stands.

Essentially, the metal tube frame comes in small sections. The pieces fit together using a male/female design, and then they snap securely into place with a steel button.

To disassemble the frame, just depress the steel buttons and pull apart the sections. Whether you’re putting together or taking apart the stand, the process only takes a few minutes.

I actually have a portable steel hammock stand myself, so I know first-hand that set up is super easy. Plus, I love the fact that you don’t need any tools to put it together.

Lightweight Camping Hammocks Great for Travel Only Weigh 1-2 lbs

Note: This package does not come with hammocks, so you can choose whatever style you like best – or use hammocks you already have. The stand fits standard-sized single and double hammocks, including the ENO SingleNest (1-person) and DoubleNest (2-person) versions.

ENO camping hammocks or the Kootek hammocks are made of a lightweight nylon parachute material and only weight 1-2 lbs each. Therefore, they are ideal to travel with because they are compact, breathable, fast-drying and strong.
