This has probably been answered but my searching reveals no definitive answer. I'd like to hang in the bedroom. I have about a 12' span with single studs. I do believe they are load bearing but I'm fairly sure they're single 2X4 studs.
Dad's a carpenter and he said it'd support me but I wanted to get some offical Hammock Forum opinions... Will an eye-screw into the center of each stud hold me up? (I weight about 200 but with kids who knows how many will try to get in at once)
I could mount an eye bolt to a piece of 2X8 or something and span 2 studs but I'm pushing my luck with my wife already with the eye screw and I think that mounting an extra block of wood on the wall might push her over the edge.
Whaddya think?
