    Attachment 177646 welll it seem weird here the number i got
    What seems weird? It's telling you your anchor points need to be ~2m off the ground, which is about 6.5 feet, which is about what I'd have guessed for a 13 foot span.
    Your 80cm (32 inch) sit height is perhaps a little bit higher than some people might choose.

    Awesome informations and knowledges about traction force for the anchor point thanks you. and yeah you like wood in the USA cheap and fast to build. So i guess last step fix the setup and show a picture and anyways will test it by pulling hard with a wrench and see what happen. I think nothing will moove for safety mesure i will add some chimical cement to the screw to lock them into the wall. i will go for some screw like that with chimical cement it won't moove https://www.accu.co.uk/en/imperial-s...YaAuZFEALw_wcB

    EDIT: i got room up to 2.8 meter to the roof

    So I am looking at a 14' diagonal in my office and would like suggestions for a height on my Eyelet screws? I will use a Marlin spike hitch on my sewn in beetle buckle suspension. I need to make this a one and done if possible. I have a Dutchware chameleon. Any thoughts??

    Zaraelyr, "roof weight" is compression weight on the blocks - that's what they are designed for. The pull of a hammock is a shear force. That is NOT what the cinderblocks are designed for. I believe the shear stress would be applied to the mortar between the cinder blocks. There are YouTube videos of hammock fails of cinder block columns pulled down by a hammock hang. To equate the structural integrity of a suspension system at place/time X with a setup at place/time Y might not be the best comparison. It reminds me of a person playing Russian Roulette and saying, because he survived the first trigger pull, "I was safe that time so I should be safe on the next pull." Just Say'n.
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.
