Step 1

Place the mounting bracket against the wall. Mark the desired placement of the four screw holes onto the brick wall. Remove the mounting bracket.

Step 2

Drill the holes with the masonry bit. Wear eye protection while drilling. Drill a 3-inch deep hole at each marked point.

Step 3

Cut the dowel rods into eight 3-inch sections. Place some wood glue inside each hole. Fit a dowel rod inside each hole. You may have to use a hammer to fit the dowels inside the holes.

Step 4

Place the mounting bracket over the holes. Screw the screws through the wood dowels using a power screwdriver. Fit the “S” hook through the hole on the bottom of the mounting bracket to hang the hammock.
