Hi All,

My daughter is getting a hanging chair for her bedroom. It is
essentially made of ropes which end with a single loop at the top to
hang it from. There are no other fittings with it so wondered what the
best way to hang it from the ceiling is?

Assuming I can screw it into a joist where she wants it I have the
following questions 1. What fitting to use? Having had a look in
Screwfix was wondering if something like these would work
https://www.screwfix.com/p/magnodur-...5-x-15mm/527jf
https://www.screwfix.com/p/easyfix-z...3mm-x-75mm-10-
pack/15851

or anything better?
2. If I end up with a plate type thing (such as the first link), assume
I will need to cut the plasterboard to ensure it is on the joist itself
to avoid the ceiling cracking?

If I can't get to the joist now what are my options? 3/4" ply screwed
between 2 joists (either on ceiling or between the joists) and then what
fitting? Assume I will need a much broader plate type thing with
several screws to distribute the load?

Sense this is all fraught with danger and the fitting is many times more
complicating than buying the thing in the first place

thanks

Lee.
