So, I've been thinking of hanging out bucket from the ceiling support beams. It's actually been tricky as to which ones I can and where.
Besides that, I went out and found some Lag Eye bolts from the hardware store. They have one that is supposed to be for 225 lbs and another for 365 lbs. Probably more than enough. I want to say the ceiling beam is 4 inches thick by 8 inches wide. I dunno, it's way up there so it's not like I've measured it. I've chosen this beam as it's thicker than some of the others that look like 4x4's.
Attached to the Lag Eye Bolt was a sticker stating these were not to be used for support human weight or athletic equipment. I've also been thinking of getting a couple to hang a set of rings in the living room and a bucket in our workout room at home. When company is over I'll just hang plants and take off the rings or rope.
Do ya think this is mostly to cover their own butts should they fail? Would these suffice or should I use something else. It's not good if it cracks the beam or comes out when it's swinging. While most of the kids are under 70 lbs, I'm sure some of our adults would like to use it as well.
Right now, I hang the bucket from the strap bar since it's close to the pommel horse area. I really have not been in the mood to hang it from the ceiling due to the height. It's probably anywhere from 17 to 22 or 25 feet high. I would have to build a tower of mats and block to lean the ladder against if it even would go that high. Major pain in the butt.
