The Ceiling Hooks.

Use a stud finder, or knock — solid wood sounds dense, hollow drywall rings. Ceiling joists run every 16 or 24 inches. Once you've found one, drill a 6 mm pilot hole to confirm solid wood before the lag bolt goes in — the setup instructions cover spacing for the swing.

Solid wood beams, ceiling joists, and poured concrete are all perfect — lag bolts for wood, expander bolts for concrete (both are in the box). Never mount into drywall or plaster alone; it won't hold a person, no matter the anchor. The strength of your beam or ceiling — not the steel — is the limiting factor, so when in doubt have a professional check your mounting.

Yes. The hooks are heavy-duty steel and happily live on a pergola, porch beam, or covered patio. Bring textile gear — swings, silks, trainers — inside between sessions; leave the hooks up.

A drill, a wrench or ratchet for the hex-head bolts, and a ladder. For wood: 6 mm pilot holes with a standard drill. For concrete: a hammer drill with 6 mm and 12 mm bits. First-timers average about 20 minutes for both hooks.

The pair is tested to 600 lb — 300 lb per hook. That covers dynamic loads from rings, bags, silks, and trainers with a wide margin. The limiting factor is your ceiling, not the steel — which is why solid wood or concrete mounting matters.
