Hello,
I want to place a home gym station on the first floor of an older building (wood beam ceiling/single-family house/year built: 1939), but I’m not entirely sure if the ceiling can support this weight.
I couldn’t find the load-bearing capacity of the ceiling in the old documents.
Should I consult a structural engineer?
Best regards
