Installing rope hammock chair Collaboration with Tori Sparkles E Everking Hammock www.amazon.com... Used eye bolt and nylon rope Used eye splice - better directions can be found at • "Easy To Follow" - How...
This guy loves to do extra work. I built a playhouse 8x8x9 for my kids that looks dang good with no math. I didn’t finish the video cuz I got pissed about his math use for this chair lol. But a sturdy spring addition so it’s a tad bouncy is a good addition for these type of chairs also
Bro you're so mean and salty calm down - He was doing something nice for who I'm assuming is his daughter like damn - You're poor kids are gonna whip out a calculator some day and finna get beat for it XD No math household -- Someone didn't like their Math teacher ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
And c’mon I’m assuming you just watched this video whereas I watched it... A WHILE ago. For his daughter your assuming. But then you want to plea that you care about this guy or that your vouching for him idk dude. What exactly are you trying to say?? Oh feel sorry for him. Got it.
I just installed one today. Totally impulsive I didn’t even tell my parents about until I had already drilled it into the ceiling.... (yeah I know.... dumb idea) but totally worth it. Super comfy
I, too, discovered the hard way that there is a huge amount of stretch in this thing. I actually used an s hook between the ring in the ceiling on the ring at the top of the swing, and it works great. Good height from the ground.
Thanks, I needed tutorial on how to drill something into the ceiling to hang something, I wasn't aware that little hook is enough to support a lot of weight, it's so useful for me to know
Can we get a follow up on this? is the chair still hanging? You really inspired me! I'm getting really close to drilling a hole in my ceiling and curious how this held up in the long run :)
Never thought of braiding this rope together, genius. I guess it's as strong as a knot? Hanging one of these tomorrow from a 10 foot ceiling. Was just going to tie a bowline, but this would look better. Thanks
@@LewisRenovation Good, I only needed 7 inches of rope, so I just tied a bowline. Really could have just added another couple of the ss quick links. Customer in the fanciest neighborhood in Houston, with no hardware stores close though. Amazing the priorities of the inner city.
Haha! What a cute video! I love it! This was very helpful! I have the same chair that I installed myself for my daughter by watching this video. Thanks!!! I’m subscribed 😄👍
Good video, entertaining, I love the trick of using the screwdriver as leverage to screw the bolt in. I wonder in the rope measurement if you just didn’t count for the height of the eyebolt and the extra carabiner?. Thanks for taking the time. I will attempt it.
Haha poor guy. When he said it's important to know your math, I just knew it wasn't going to work out . She'll appreciate it! I'd fix it myself since he did all that work
Got the same chair for my daughter for Christmas but it didnt come with an eye bolt, it came with a completely different hanging attachment. Looks like I need to make a trip to home depot
@@LewisRenovation appreciate it. I was a tad confused at first but upon further digging I came to find out 2 of the bolts that came with it are for concrete or brick. So I was able to get the 2 wood fasteners in place on the joist. Works great, thank you for this video. It helped alot
Wonderful video! Great tips and very entertaining. I loved the math part lol! I am trying to hang a large hammock from my ceiling (hammock is for two people and has a wood spread on each side). Do I need a swivel to connect to the eye hooks or are the eye hooks and some cabinet or a hooks enough? Also, what’s the size of the recommended eye hook? Thanks!
You forgot to calculate the C clip length.. another 3” .. should’ve made the rope 13” but nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing, please make a video on how to braid the rope together !!
Very helpful!!l I now feel confident enough to drill two holes in my ceiling and attach a hammock! Do two eye bolts with a working load of 230 lb equal a working load of 460 lb? Lets find out!
@@LewisRenovation i dont know what is the concrete or is that concrete inside the roof or not because in amazon shop is writed it is for wood or concrete
Most anything is possible with enough money 😀 You could drill a hole in the concrete and use concrete epoxy to attach an eye bolt. Not sure if the apartment owner would be too happy with you.
Yeah, I didn't account for the cotton rope in the chair stretching so much. I fixed the length afterwards but figured I'd leave the mistake in the video just for fun.
The chair is a meant to hang up in a tree I went to b&m yesterday and I found the same chair in black and it said hang it up in a tree and I paid £30 for the chair I've got it hanging up in my cherry tree ✌️👌
No, you really need to attach to something substantial. If where you want the seat isn't a ceiling joist, you could run a board across two joists and screw into it. Good luck!
The small pilot holes were a great idea that I didn’t use. Thus I’m patching 1/4 holes in my ceiling. Not a big deal but should have watched this first. Great video 👍
Warning! I enjoyed your video but I must share that I used a similar method to install a hammock chair in my porch area while getting new exterior siding. Therefore I was actually able to see the center of the board I was putting the support bolt into. After more than a year of enjoyment, it failed last week and I feel like I was in a car crash, and thoght at the time had broken my arm, and I know cracked some ribs. Until I saw through the ceiling for a post-mortem, wont know if the board split or what. Full disclosure I weigh almost 200 lbs, so maybe this can at least serve as a heads-up to my fellow chubs. Ill be running a bolt thru next time! Eat responsibly!
I don't think it will crack, but if your really concerned, run a board on the ceiling perpendicular to the ceiling joists that spans a couple joists (find one and the others should be 16" away) and attach the chair to that board. It will spread the load between 3 ceiling joists.
