Can someone tell me what hardware you used to hang in joist in ceiling? Sure I could figure it out, just thought it might save me time just to ask.

You can use eye bolts from a hardware store, just pre-drill a small hole and screw in the eye bolt, then you can then hang the swing from there.

I would be hesitant about hang anything from a drop ceiling. I would still try to attach to the actual ceiling with a pole or to a beam. Hope this helps.

The explanation by D adams is excellent. You may not need any other. The thing is, we have an old row home built in 1920. The kitchen has an old plaster ceiling with drywall over it. The joists did not line up where we wanted to mount the pot rack. We wanted it centered between two windows. My husband mounted a nice piece of wood into the joists on the ceiling first. Then he drilled into that to screw the i hooks in the wood. So far so good. It's been two years and holding. I have cast iron frying pans hanging on all four corners, then there's stainless pots in between and my roasting pans and grill utensils in the top basket. Good luck, Ken!

You might have to go to your local hardware store (Home Depot), but they are generally standard for ceiling fans. A few of our others fans in our house take the same kind.

I agree, the comment is confusing, but it doesn't matter which way the beams (joists) run. Refer to installation instruction no. 1: "The J-hook must be secured to the joist with 2 or 3 screws as shown." If your joists run cross ways, (parallel) then use the 3 holes, if the joists run lengthwise, that is, from the front of the garage to the back, then use 2 screws. Hope this helps.

I secured it with lag bolts, thru the drywall into the rafters. Dry wall screws into expander things won't hold that much weight. One thing to be careful of and that is if you use lag srews (bolts)be sure they are long enough and that you hit the center of the rafter. I made that mistake and after awhile it fell down for me, with the bike on it. I put the hoist on a 2x4 and screwed that to the ceiling. Anymore questions I hope I can help.

My eaves have joists that I attached to. It ended up looking great - but you do need something to screw into vertically.

You can hang it from the ceiling, you just need to use a screw hook that is screwed into the joist (It must be screwed securely into the joist -- you have to first drill a pilot hole that is smaller than the screw). The screw hook costs around $3.00.

Should work fine if the ceiling joist is designed to handle the weight. (I've known some joists were decorative only.).

I would suggest locating the studs/joists behind the drywall in the ceiling, then use lag bolts to hang the swing hangers. Since the preferred installation is to do so with access to the entire stud/joist, it's possible mounting from the bottom may not provide a strong enough mounting point to secure the hangers to their full load capacity. Proceed with caution and test varying amounts of weight to ensure the mounting is secure. Good luck :)

I used a concrete fastener (screw), just make sure you get the right size for the hanging hole. You can get it from any hardware store.

Sorry. Haven't put it together yet. I'm going to alter it so it can hang from the ceiling.

If you are using it in your house, find a suitable ceiling joist. I used a ny-glide swing hanger (found on amazon) then the rotational device and heavy duty caribiner.

Hi, I'm sure that you could use the swag kit. I will attach a web site that may help you.http://www.doityourself.com/stry/instaling-ceiling-fan-with-swag-kit.Hope this helps

This is kind of a physics questions. Well it depends on the ceiling joist, 2x4, 2x6, etc and how far between the load bearing walls the tv will sit. I think you should be sure to use the right hardware to attach the mount, probably lag bolts. If in doubt contact a carpenter to look at your ceiling joist. Sorry there's a lot of info necessary to be sure.

You have to install a small hook in the ceiling. I myself purchased a really nice white one. I suggest putting in a mount first so the hook can hold better.

There are 2 large hooks that will bolt into the beam in your ceiling. The hooks are included. I had to purchase a bit of chain as my studs were too far apart to hang directly below with the hangars they give you. It is an easy install though and the few links of chain were very inexpensive from the hardware store
