Place the mounting bracket against the wall. Mark the desired placement of the four screw holes onto the brick wall. Remove the mounting bracket.
Drill the holes with the masonry bit. Wear eye protection while drilling. Drill a 3-inch deep hole at each marked point.
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.
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.
