Full suspension ancor point and details

[Taraxias]

I am trying to make my plan for full suspension .
I dont have a decent ancor point and considering that i am 1.90 height and 140 kilos i cant use handlebars or wardrobe.
I need something strong and high enough.
I am think of getting installed a metal base for trx at my ceiling to be the ancor point and use a 10mm climbing rope with slipknot .
Do you think this ancor point will hold my kilos?
I find it difficult to find a tree to use as an ancor point and prefer to be in my house
The rope i found has 8 KN strengh i think will be ok but any help or idea is welcomed
Some pics of the trx base the rope and details

Is anyone else in the house? Your house? Cut a hole through the ceiling to rafters, could even go over a couple rafters. Doubling the rope gives it more strength.

My ceiling is not wood .
It is cement . Thats why i though of the bolted to the ceiling trx metal plate. Double the rope you mean at the ancor point?

Double all...
But how will you bolt to concrete?

I will need to call a repair man to make halls and screw it to the ceiling . Check the picture for the screes . It is something that requires technical job done and dont know how stable and secure it will be. Makes me rethink it all up

 

[my-end]

Yeah. Holes in concrete that I've seen, require an epoxy glue...and those are either in a vertical wall or on the ground, not over head. Not saying it's not possible, just unsure of reliability. You'd have to install then apply your full weight for a period of time to test the strength. Unsure of the type of home construction so it's a bit hard to try to solve. Have you considered any other methods?

 

[Taraxias]

How can the knot be made double? I was going for slipknot . It needs a proffesional to put it on the ceiling and dont know the outcome for sure if it will hold. I am desperate . Was thinking about drowning or car sink drowning or full suspension somewhere outside

 

[Taraxias]

I am thinking of a ceiling pull up bar ancored to the ceiling

Are you in a condo ?
What is ceiling height?
Just curious. Because of noise etc.

Those bolts look like butterfly bolts.
Same as I've used for ledger boards when building a deck.
You pre drill a hole then smash the bolts in when you screw them or smash they open up inside the hole.

This takes a bit of work and noise.
Concrete drill bits are loud.
This is why I asked if you are in a condo.

Those bolts are only meant to take weight and secure to a wall.
as if you are walking on them.
I could understand if you are hanging up some heavy custom light /art
Or use for training.
Even filling the holes with epoxy or sika.

But the sudden jump or jolt of your actions plus body movements after the fact.
What ceiling height would you have this at?
Do the bolts say how much they support?

There is a high chance those bolts will fly right out. Depending on height that you are jumping from . And if you thrash around after. You're a big dude so just take this stuff into consideration.

Either way good luck

The variable is the actual fastening to the ceiling. You do not want to pull the anchor point out of the ceiling.

My appartment has concrete roof .i am at the second floor but plan to install it at the storage room i have at -1 floor. The ceiling heigt is arround 3 meters. I will need to call a profesional to ancor it to be sure it is ancored well

I will have to find a professional to install it and double check the bolts and everything is good to mantain my 140 kilos. The noise for the installation it will make to ancor it makes me a bit worried because i am in a rental

 

[Worndown]

Ok

 

[Taraxias]

I found some ceiling pull up bars that state that can hold up to 200 kilos . Is this accurate?

200 kilos thats like 400 pounds.
I guess it's possible. Depends on design.

But also is it just a bar. Hanging from ceiling?
2 screw plates / 4 screws each. ? Still risky cause it's in the ceiling

If it was going into wooden rafters (ceiling)
it would be different cause it's gripping and holding.

There are ones that come from the wall with a triangle design with the bar across.

This type goes directly into the wall / wood studs.

If your walls are also concrete this can work. But you need a bit of space for these.
Length / width
Will be stronger in the wall even with concrete bolts.
Gravity won't be working against you as much.

ah ok. So a personal storage room.
3meter ... 9feet I think.
Your around 6 feet tall.
3 feet clearance. So you'll hang.

Yes. It's a bit weird if you're putting it inside a storage room.
You can say it's for hanging things and extra storage. Maybe?

Each one of those bolts or screws are rated. Whatever site that was it will say how much they can support.
But from the ceiling may impact this.

Not sure if you can ask to install it from the landlord or not.

But yes even if you just do those 4 screws ...it might not take long.

But it will be loud. Like a loud SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH
and a little dusty.

And the hole needs to be straight or the bolt won't go all the way in properly.

The pull up bar i saw has 6 or 8 bolts but doessnt say the strength of each one. It only says that the hole pullup bar can hold up to 200 kilos.

Yes it will be noisy and dusty and considering i have hyperacousis, i cant be even close to this drilling.
I need to find a professional to do it and i leave the place while installing.

If the pull up bar is ancored to the wall want it affect the hanging part? Because i will be touching at the wall propably


The rope i will buy is a 12mm polyersteric that has a breaking point at 2200 kilos

Ok. Better then ceiling.

Yes. And it will take 2 guys unfortunately.

if it's the one with a triangle design.
With the pole across
They usally stick out away from the wall
1 or 2 feet

I'm planning to use a metal bar as well, they are designed to hold a person's weight so I think it's secure

Can you describe this metal bar? Will you install it or is it already in your house for some reason?

English is not my first language but it's used to hold a hammock

I found this tree in the woods at a somewhat crowded place at summer but also peaceful. The branch looks pretty steady and is at arround 2.5 metres height i think.
Does it seem like a good place?


Also the rope is this one
.it is a 12mm polyester rope .
It estimates a breaking point at 2200 kilos. Does this seem good or you propose something else ?
How long rope should i buy ?
