I have an extremely stupid question. I was planning to hang some flowerpots from the central support beam in the attic (not sure whether I should use nails, screws or pegs?). My girlfriend objects, saying one shouldn't risk damaging the beam. Surely this is an excessive concern? Or not?

I trust the beam more than that hook. 

 

(not a structural engineer) 

 

At worst there will be 20kg hanging from that, and the beam can take it, that hook maybe not. 

 

How fancy does it need to look? I'd trust a plate fixing with a ring in it. 4 screws are better than one.
