Hi community,
I'd like to install a ceiling-mounted sensory swing in my ground floor apartment. I'm fairly sure the ceiling is concrete (it's definitely not plaster or timber) so I'd like to know what's the best, most secure, can-hold-the-most-weight way to mount the swing please? Will likely be me and the kid in there at the same time occasionally (approx 140kg combined), got the strata permission sorted. Thanks for your advice!
Hi @Fancypants,
Given the weight capacity and the type of installation you're looking for, I strongly recommend professional installation for your ceiling-mounted swing. The load you'll be placing on the swing, particularly with both you and your child in it (around 140kg), requires precise installation to ensure it's securely fixed and safe to use.
Concrete ceilings are solid, but mounting heavy loads in them requires specialised anchors and fixings. In most cases, you’ll need to drill into the concrete and install a heavy-duty fixing system, which may involve using chemical adhesives or anchor bolts to ensure the fixings are firmly secured in place.
A professional will be able to assess the structure of the ceiling and provide a solution that not only supports the weight but ensures the swing remains safe to use over time.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mitchell
