Hanging bed canopies

[nicolewi]

If you have a bed/reading corner canopy, like the Pillowfort ones at Target or similar, how do you hang it??? Small ceiling hook fell out. Small stick-on hook doesn’t hold enough weight. Best was extra-strong Velcro but still periodically comes down and needs to be fixed.

Larger regular ceiling hook??? I was trying to avoid the kind that opens out in the ceiling bc I don’t want a big hole.

Large ceiling hook with a toggle bolt. Yes, we had to drill a hole in the ceiling.

Try to see if you can size up for a screw in hook. We had one that held a paper lantern /light bulb fixture ok. The issue is your canopy probably gets tugged on. We had something else hung with the bolt hook and when we moved, it was pretty easy to unscrew, leave the bolt in the ceiling and patch the whole with a regular nail hole patch stuff.
