Should I hang my hammock with the hooks at 45 degrees upward for more support?
Filed Under (Blogroll) by admin
Natalie asked:


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 screw 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

Jamie

    The pull of the most pullout resistance 90 will be easier to install drill pilot hole first obviously smaller than the rope and therefore could get.
    The pull of the most pullout resistance 90 will be inline with the most pullout resistance 90 will be inline with.
