I weigh 180 lbs and have had a 110 lb friend assist me with a strenuous "bounce test... " without incident.

I'm guessing there aren't any pictures to go along with this...

Is it better to hang from eye bolts perpendicular or parallel? I'm thinking if I should put them on opposing walls, or if one should maybe go inside a closet, and have the suspension "wrap around" the corner, pulling more perpendicular to the bolt.

Anyone have any experience with the ENO Hanging Kit?

According to ENO they will hold up to 400lbs.

I have read reviews of the ENO kits causing wall damage (gouging the wall). Has anyone here had that experience when using them?

I use the ENO kits and one of them has slightly damaged the drywall. I believe it was my fault for tightening it too much. The slight dent is nothing that can't be repaired VERY easily with some drywall patch once the hanger is removed.

The ENO hanger is basically this rock climbing bolt hanger:

I installed it vertical as in the above link. Once used, it rotated about 20 degrees. The next set I installed, I left it slightly loose and no problems at all.

It does say on the instructions not to tighten it too much.

I machined these blocks out of alum. at work
there are 2 4-1/2" long 3/8" lag bolts in each anchored into the top plates of the wall.
I was almost 250 lbs when I put them up and have had zero problems from them.

Do I dare try something like this?

mine are similar, 2 lag 5/16" lag bolts at a length of 2 3/4" in a 2x4 on both ends, no problems. not the prettiest thing in the world, however. function over form i always say.

+1 that's what I did. I've never seen even the slightest amount of damage. The reason I went this way is because they lay flat when not being used and it uses two screws, so if one were to fail there's another one too.

+1 these look like mine, only damage would be by running the lags into these then these into the drywall. just stop when you get there lol. i predrilled the holes for the lags to avoid splitting.

I use these with spax screws for the pull out ratings. It would be easy to hide behind a picture frame. I don't to that though since I installed mine at on the window and door studs. Been up for about 2 years. Daily use for over a year.

I just remembered I have two of these left over from something else. Crap! I just purchased the Eno kit, but now I'm worried about those brackets rotating on the wall. I'm not sure what keeps them from doing so. I'm thinking these would be better with 2 big screws on each. Hmmm...

I ended up using these. And am very happy with them. I didn't use the pan to recess the D-rings. I just went through the drywall and into the stud on one end and a beam on the other with a pair of like rated spax screws at each anchor.

I wanted a higher weight rating for frequent double occupancy. The price is right.

I don't find the look offensive enough to worry about hiding them. Besides 90% of the time they are rigged up plus they're in a low traffic area.
