Weight Tolerance for Ceiling Joists
I'm planning to attach a swing in my living room. The swing along with the chain and hooks weighs about 46 LBS. Add to that the weight of the person who is going to sit on it. My question is how much weight can the joists take? I think it is a regular wooden joist of standard size. I'll be attaching the two sides of the swing hooks with bolts to two different joists (about 42" apart). Do I have to reinforce the joists to make them stronger? How?
Thanks,
