Hello everyone,
I want to create a small chill-out area and hang a hammock from the living room ceiling. The problem is that the ceiling is made of solid reinforced concrete. How can I install proper anchors in that, and would it perhaps be better to use heavy-duty anchors from the hardware store? I weigh just under 80 kilograms (175 pounds) but definitely don’t want to fall onto the floor.
