Was thinking a 10mm wide bolt at about 80 100mm long.
Hanging hammock from cinder block wall.
In both of these cases drilling all the way through the block wall and installing a bracket for the hammock should provide enough support to carry the weight you mentioned.
Hanging a hammock indoors on concrete walls.
I m pretty sure it s poured concrete not cinder block.
If the block is hollow you may need to get a.
The hanging points need to be about 15 feet from one another if you want the hammock to lie relatively flat as it would in an outdoor hammock stand.

I need to hang them from a cinder block wall its odd though its not flat its all preatied is that a word up the frames are about 5 wide and i have 2 heavy duty brackets 12 in from each end they are bolted on with 1 2 bolts.
I have just put in a 6x6 post in my back yard to hang my hammock with the intention of suspending the other end from my concrete block garage.
That connection i feel good about.
If you want the hammock to hang in a more basketlike shape the ends can be somewhat closer together.
Both anchors have a large screw eye going into a standard expanding masonry anchor size 3 8 or 1 2.
The mortar joints aren t visibly broken separating though.
However a hammock s load is partially vertical and partially horizontal so there is a greater risk of the anchor pulling out.
Then a concrete partition wall i m unsure if it s hollow block walls or in situ poured on the other.
Cinder blocks have hollow cells and solid webbing.
Of course make sure the bracket itself is rated for that weight.
The anchor used to hang heavy objects on a cinder block wall must grip the sides of the anchor s pilot hole tightly.
The garage is made from 12x8 concrete block and based on the rest of the construction from the previous owner i don t particularly trust it.
Will something like this work.
I m looking for some feedback.
I am afraid just one masonry anchor is not enough the load might pull the anchor out of the wall.
It is critical to drill into the solid portion of the block usually near a block end or dead center.
I want to hang a hammock from a masonry wall.
With a sturdy stone and cement wall it is usually easier to install the bolt between the stones in the mortar as many stones defy easy drilling.
The same is true if the block is hollow but the inner cores have been poured full of concrete.
It would also be a good idea to use a large washer under the bolt on the side of the wall opposite the hammock.
Normally any plastic or lead anchor will work well in masonry.
Hanging a hammock indoors requires hardware based hammock suspension for your walls or ceiling.
Your hammock can be suspended from the ceiling at both ends or from the walls.
There are heavy duty anchors called sleeve or wedge anchors for use in block.
Anchors with heavy duty spring loaded wings hold objects against the hollow part of a cinder block and wedge style anchors hold objects against the cinder block s solid webbing.
They re relatively straightforward to use and don t require scout skills as a prerequisite.
For hammock chairs this is a no brainer you re installing the eye hooks directly into a stud in the ceiling.
My question comes from what is the best way to anchor to the cinder block wall.
