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

saveasteading Posted March 21, 2023 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
