    Home Depot or Lowes will more than likely carry the items you need. Ask them if they have hammock hanging kits, such as the one I posted in the link below.

    WE FOUND THEM AT HOME DEPOT BUT YOU MUST INSTALL THEM INTO A CEILING STUD. I ASKED A SALESPERSON IN THE "CONTRACTORS" AREA AND THEY KNEW

    I would use an 1/2 inch I bolt find the stud in the cieling drill through go into the attic add a 2×4 that runs 90 degrees from your studs have it long enough to cross over the next cieling joist on each side then bolt it down with a large washer above the 2×4( you also need to drill the 2×4 ). This will spread the load it will be used as a swing have fun

    PS nail the 2×4 to the studs also

    http://www.yardenvy.com/Hammock_Chair_&_Swing_Accessories–173.htm there you can get hammock chair hardware, springs, and stands. You call it a hammock swing or chair stand, spring, or hardware.
