Step 1
Determine your chair hammock placement. Make sure there is enough room to swing the hammock chair a bit, especially if it's going to be used indoors.
-
Step 2
Decide if you are going to hang the chair hammock from a ceiling joist or use a chair hammock stand. Some styles of chair hammocks can only be used with a stand, while others can be mounted just about anywhere.
-
Step 3
Select the type of chair hammock that is suitable for the location. Keep in mind the room's decor when selecting a color and style. Don't be afraid to choose a contrasting color, as the chair is most likely a new focal point in the room.

Step 4
Buy a classic, net-style hammock hanging chair if you want to hang out in classic hammock fashion. This style of chair hammock can be hung from trees, patios, porch or ceiling joists and can also be used with a hanging chair stand.
-
Step 5
Get a swing-style chair hammock with cushions and a stand if you want something with a little more classic, chair-type comfort that's easier to get in and out of, but still want that swinging hammock feel.
-
Step 6
Check the weight rating of your hammock chair before you buy. Most hammock chairs hold about 200 pounds, but be sure the one you select is right for you. Check the weight rating to be sure it will meet your needs.
-
Step 7
Purchase heavy-duty mounting hardware for your hammock chair. If you're using a hammock chair stand, this hardware should come with it. If you're choosing to mount it to a ceiling joist, be sure you have hardware with the proper weight rating that is suitable for your type of hammock chair.
