hanging a hammock from a palm (post #16576)

Homeowner wants his hammock hung between a king palm and the corner of the house.  Palm is about 15 feet high and 9" to 10" in diameter.  Roger's Gardens says it should take the strain, but putting a bolt into the trunk is not a good idea, (I'd already figured that out) but they had no suggestion as to what I could use instead of a bolt.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks

There are all kinds of ways to hang a hammock that don't involve bolts, and the folks over at www.hammockforums.net have a wealth of info to share. Check it out. I know about this site because when I'm not gardening, backpacking is one of my favorite activities. Instead of a tent, I take a hammock and attach it with poly straps that wrap around the trunk.
