Do you already have the hook? And roughly how much weight are you anticipating being supported from the ceiling? Thanks.
I have a hook but am unsure if it’s appropriate as I want it to support the whole of me!
Okay, I know a bit about this sort of thing. You'll need a very strong hook (anchor point) to be safe, not just one that can take your static weight but one that can cope with extra stresses - in case you have in mind any kind of exercise or sudden movements whilst being suspended. I can identify something for you to buy. I can certainly help you with installing it safely and I'm based in Nottingham (Wollaton) so I'm local.
Perfect - can you quote how much you think it would cost? And how much would it cost if you supplied the part?
I've found a nice heavy duty part that uses four screws (for extra safety) into the joist, and has a U shaped loop of metal for you to attach to. I can supply this for only £10 in cash on the day if you like. I'll make you an offer through the Airtasker system for you to consider if you'd like me to do the job.
Offer made now :-) You'll need to assign it to me if you are happy for me to do this job for you. Let me know - thanks.
I know how to very securely attach a ceiling mount such that you will be confident using it. I have all my own pro tools and will work carefully and tidily. I won't rush and I'll make sure you are happy with the job. I also know a bit about bodyweight exercise, so we could chat about that if you're interested. My offer takes into account the fees of this system. If you would like me to supply the hook and screws, that is extra as mentioned in the questions section. I anticipate it would take a few hours to do this job properly and neatly.
