Hey all, I was hoping to poll the experts for a stand idea for my screened in porch. I have a 14'er that I'd like to use, but have been uncertain about the weight ratings on the stands in Amazon. For reference I am a 340lber and as stated have a 14' hammock to hang, that I expect will.stretch some once it has some weight in it... I am not confident in eyebolts in the walls, because I'm not confident of what may have been used for studs.
I do have access to ceiling joists... They are pictures below... These are sandwiched 2x6s (I believe) that are 4 per joist, and spaced about 33inches between them. I considered trying to bore through these and try to hand from an eye bolt... But wasn't sure that the shearing forces on an eye bolt would be too great, and if it was wise to hang like that at all... I didn't want to ruin my roof.
I thought I would post here for suggestions.
Thanks!
