We recommend to begin by watching our Toy Hammock Hanging Instructions video for step by step instructions and best practices.
Installing Your Lilly’s Love Toy Hammock
- Pick a corner location to hang your toy hammock out of reach so children & pets cannot climb on it.
- For best results, avoid a corner with a window. What if my corner has a window?
- Decide how high you want to hang the hammock. For example, you can hang the corner 22" down from the ceiling and the two ends 14" down from the ceiling
- Corner position should be lower than the two end positions. This allows hammock to scoop and hold more stuffed animals.
- Mark the corner position first with a pencil. Be sure to offset the mark by 1.5” from corner to avoid the wall studs.
- The wall anchor must push into drywall and not the wood wall stud.
- To install the corner anchor, drill hole on your pencil mark and tap anchor into the hole.
- Drill size needs to be slightly smaller than the wall anchors to create a snug fit.
- Screw the hook into the corner wall anchor all the way with hook facing up. Attach the hammock to the corner hook.
- With a partner holding one end, stretch the ends of the hammock and pencil mark the two ends equal distance from the corner.
- For maximum toy space hang ends as wide as possible.
- Ends should be tight but not so tight that it could damage the anchors and hooks.
- Caution: Shorter distance from the ends to the corner will cause the hammock to hang lower with less toy space.
- Install the two end wall anchors and hooks the same as before.
- Drill hole on each mark and tap anchor into the holes.
- Screw the hooks into the anchors all the way with hooks facing up.
- Attach the two hammock ends to the hooks.
- Note that once filled, the hammock will stretch and hang lower.
- Add only lightweight items on your hammock. Clear all the toys and stuffed animals off the floor and get the party started!
