    inside hang/misc questions

    Welp, my nut hut was finished up a few months ago and now it's in full effect. I'm exploring the idea of setting up a hang in the down stairs area where I have exposed wall studs. If I went straight across the width of the building it's appox 15 feet. Looking for ideas for hammock end/tree strap attachment points to the studs. Was thinking a simple threaded eyelet with machine threads. I'd drill thru a stud on each side of the building and use large diameter flat washers on each side of the stud. Thoughts?

    Being a Heavy Guy,

    I always over-engineer anything that needs to hold my weight. So I recommend distributing the force over two or more studs just to be safe. How about spanning two, three or four studs with a piece of 2x4, and lag-screwing teh cross piece to the studs? If you span four you can simply tie off between two studs.
