    Indoor Ceiling Joist Hanging: Need Tips Plz

    I have some exposed wooden ceiling joists in my basement and want to hang from them. They’re by the main iron beam support on the ceiling, and I’m not concerned about taking the load—the ceiling and joists will take it.

    I would appreciate your advice about how to install a simple suspension system. I’m thinking just strong, heavy duty steel hook eyes from Lowe's. I have HHs and ENOs. I know that it’s likely not as straightforward as putting two hook eyes 14 feet apart. Does anyone who has done this have advice about spacing, hardware, etc.…and do you leave amsteel ropes or something hanging down from each eye so that you can carabiner onto the rope at chest level? That sort of thing. If there’s already a past thread about it, please link it for me. I couldn’t find any.

    Thanks in advance.
