looking for some advice on hanging a hammock at home.
I've done a fair bit of research on the web and the easy answer is a single lag bolt into the brick work...... funnily enough i dont trust that the lag bolt or the brick work will cope with the tension so im looking for something else.
Looking to hang from the red circles
Span from wall to post is 4.8 meters
height of joist at wall side is 2.5 meters
height of joist at post side is 1.9 meters
Now the wooden post side i trust, im going to use a simple tree hugger approach, but the wall side im struggling with.
I was thinking of using 4 heavy duty rawl anchors with a wall plate similar to below, but is it still too close together?
Another approach i've been thinking of is two eye bolts above/below each other, with an endless strap, this way the force is pulling down/up on the bolts rather than outwards from the wall
what do you all think?
