Yes i own the place.
Yes the Bolts are ss 10mm x 100mm glued into solid concrete bricks with chemset
Yes i am aware that 120 ish degree puts roughly 150% load on each anchor, BUT i had to find a happy
medium between scrapping the ground when sitting on it and load on the anchors. Which im no to
concerned about seeing as i have 90~kilos spread between four equal load points. Also the load
direction was an important factor that i took into consideration. But again load is on four points so im
not worried. Well the hanger gets rotated and i change the one i use each time, as i take it down after
use.
I checked before hand wether the bricks were solid/hollow/vented and also wether the wall was
cavity/veneer etc.
If you do this dont skip on things. I did about a weeks worth of theory and practicle research as well as
testing before i started.
Got any Q's pm me.
