- Screw a hook eye into the pilot hole. Continue to screw the eye hook in the joist until the thread is in the ceiling.
- Attach the chain mechanism or a rope hanging on the chair with the hook eye as specified in the instructions. Each hanging chair is different, and directions vary.

comfort first
once you install your hanging chair, consider laying a carpet directly under the seat. It will enhance the feeling of comfort and provide softness underfoot, and warm in winter.

what is better than a hanging chair? A trio of them! What a perfect way to spend an afternoon. If you do not have a covered bridge or an entertainment area outside (or strong beams overhang ) from which you can hang your chair, a solid branch thick tree provides an ideal alternative. Otherwise, you can always opt for a freestanding hanging chair.
