Coach bolt timber to it - rock mofo solid . it's not really that load bearing so that's probably overkill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use too many noggins , too many screws , too many bolts . I jump and climb on everything to test it . Whilst it may not look pretty better to be overkill than under kill .

Total weight hanging of it will be around 2kg 🙄🤣 It don’t move though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveasteading Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 You should be able to tap the screws into the wood to get started, so no skin stripping required. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
