I have a workspace upstairs in my shed. I'm considering getting an indoor hanging kit and hanging it from the joists..... is this a bad idea? Joists are 16" on center. I have attached some pictures of the joists prior to me putting up sheeting over them. I plan on hanging it from one side of the shed to the other (not front to back). Where the floor is (since the roofline is angled) it's 16' across. Seems to be plenty of room even if I go up a bit for a good hang.
As you can hopefully see from the pictures, the top (steeper) part of the joist is sitting on top of the bottom one, so vertical weight would rest on it.
If it would be suggested, I could also span across several joists with a 2x4 (or larger) to distribute the weight and put the hanger on it.
I'd probably opt for the ENO hammock hanging kit, unless someone has a sturdier suggestion. I plan on replacing the lag screws with FastenMaster HeadLOK structural screws.
