Hi.
I want to install a hook in my ceiling for the purposes of abseil training. Essentially I thought about getting a pair of eyebolts and screwing them into a joist. Once fitted, I could thread the rope through the eyes and attach it to a harness. Any fixings would need to support a minimum of 100kg, and the load applied would not always be axial, sometimes the stress would be applied from a side angle. I had thought also about fitting a punchbag hook, as they seem able to cope with heavy weight from all angles, but I'm unsure if one of those would be suitable.
Does anyone have any other suggestions, and advice on the best method of doing this, as I'd like to do this properly - I don't want to come crashing down!
Thanks.
