I went to Home Depot and bought some hooks with a snap opening. They are weight rated and just picked one about 5 times heavier that a small child. I think about 200 or 250 lb weight limit. My eyelets were bolts on a steel beam, but know you can buy eyelets with a wood screw. 5/16 to 3/8 is probably more than adequate. Pre drill the hole the size of the outside Diameter of the screw or may just a bit less.

Go to the hardware store and look for a swivel hanger among the hooks and caribiners... not sure what they're technically called. Or a towing hook would work. You just want to make sure the hook is rated for over 100 pounds... the heavier duty the better as the users will be swinging and twisting on it.

Why don't you just buy the 12" or, if that won't do, the 18" size. Google it, as I just did: http://wide-world-maps-and-more.amazonwebstore.com/12-Just-HangIt-Wall-Hanging-Rail/M/B0033T71NO.htm

I made my own. Don't know of a manufactured hanger. Might be some out there. Not sure.

I put my hangers on a 2"x6" railing... They stayed in place 6 months. I hung hanging baskets from all of them.. I switched the plants around numerous times.. Still the hangers did not loosen..

get the 2in.x30ft.it will be enough to do both boards with a little left over.

I sent it right back after I took it out and saw that it was not what I was looking for. But I do believe that you could use hangers on it as long is the weight was distributed equally.

I think that should work. I used it to hang doors that run on the outside of a closet, so this is similar to what I think you are trying to do. The 2x6 (which is really 1-1/2 inches thick) should be thick enough to mount the rail to, or really close to it. There will be about 1 inch vertical gap between the top edge of the door and the bottom edge of the track, so you may need something to cover that space. Let me know if you want pictures of the way it worked for me.

Use to hang plants outside (weight 10-12 pounds), no bend in the hanger. However, did have to get longer screws as the ones provided were too short (pulled out of fence when rained or wind). Longer screws work perfectly, no problems with hanger at all!!

The advantage to this hanger is that you can slide it over the top rail and do not have to use nails and screws. It doesn't mar your deck and is easily movable.

get the 156 inch. if too long you can tape it up underneath on the ends. better safe...

I used two gold sawtooth picture hangars about an inch long. It worked fine. But its not in a high traffic area.

Geoffrey I have hung mine similarly. Can't post a pic on the answer so I will do so in feedback. Please look there.

I'm not sure how you would attach it. If I did hang it I wouldn't want to put much weight on it. I hope this helps

I made a support system out of 3/4" pvc pipe. I used the snap on tee's that just clamp on tho the pipe and you drill a hole. The slip right on the rails and stay in place even when I tow it. The cover should be perfect on a 24'. You need to order for the size of the deck. Dont worry about how long it is over all, just the deck is what matters.

Yea you may buy more hangers, from Amazon.Com also from Harriett Carter magazine, and Walter Drake. But they are cheaper from Amazon. Glad to help.

We bought a tree swing hanging kit for $46. It included two 3' straps and hardware. It made hanging the swing a lot easier and will be gentler on the tree limb. :)
