Hi all,
I recently moved into a place where the previous owners had an egg chair hanging from the ceiling using an eye bolt (photo attached). I bought a similar egg chair to use the same eye bolt, but unfortunately I noticed that when someone is sitting and swivelling clockwise, the bolt starts to come undone. I suspect the nut may have pulled through the joist or something similar.
Is there any product from Bunnings that could fix this? I don’t have access to the roof space, so I can’t install another eye bolt. Would an eye hook plate with lag bolts work, or is there a better solution?
Hi @amiraljaberi,
RE: the bolt starts to come undone. I suspect the nut may have pulled through the joist or something similar.
What type of ceiling is that ???
Looks like the walls so is ceiling the same with a timber screw eyes fastener that unscrews because of the 'swiveling clockwise' motion. If that's the case I don't like the setup and have concerns for your safety and suggest could you please take some photos of the roof.
Cheers
