Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Patel1045. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about hanging a hammock.

In order to install a hanging device of this nature, you'll need to enlist the services of a professional, being a qualified carpenter and potentially an engineer, to assess and then alter your roof structure to accommodate. I presume you have a timber roof structure, and its job is to hold up the roof. Your hammock far exceeds any tolerances that would have been accounted for, and I suspect that additional timber or lintels will need to be installed for it to be affixed to.

I would encourage you to seek out professional assistance in order to avoid damage to your property and potential injury.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @MitchellMc,

Thanks for the advice. Will now considering to return this. Also there is a smaller one for babies which is like about to 2ft by 2ft with similar fittings requirement. Would that be able to hold with this timber structure!?

Potentially @Patel1045. However, I would still recommend you have it professionally installed.
