Gregory Tran Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hello, I am a beginner to the Foundations 1 course. Currently in week 2. I didn't realize I needed rings for this, so just bought a set w/ a rogue ring hanger. My question is this. I will be installing on my enclosed porch ceiling which is 10' wide. Do I install them so I have an even 5' on each side? Or should I be putting it a little father to either side? I have no idea what kinda of exercises are coming up, so would appreciate some feedback. I have to drill some giant holes into my exposed beams which my family will not love, so hoping to get it right the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everett Carroll Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Smack in the middle of the 10ft should be good. The rings 50cm apart is standard. Feel free to post a picture before you drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanesa Seraphin Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 similar question: I just got my rings in the mail. I am planning to attach them to my ceiling by securing them via an eye-bolt (with washer and nut) that connects to the main ceiling beam (we have my daughter's aerial silk connected in the same way). I have been reading about folks needing swivels and/or bars to hang the rings, so I went searching on the forum. Your response above suggests that I should be fine with two eye bolts (one for each ring) spaced 50cm apart. Please confirm, or please let me know if there is a better way to go. Thanks, Kanesa ps. attaching photo of aerial silk set up showing eye bolt. Pretty grainy photo, but you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Dano Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 @Kanesa Seraphin Yes, two eye bolts 50cm apart is what you should use. No need for swivels or anything fancy beyond that and a way to hook the rings to the eye bolt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Sanden Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) @Cole DanoI assume the same eye bolt set up could be used to hang a rope, as well as for hanging a bar from for pull ups? Or will the unstable nature of the set up be inappropriate for a pull up bar? Edited September 23, 2016 by Jamie Sanden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Dano Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'd say for a pull up bar, sure, but better if it's a fixed bar, and not that much of a change from just using the rings you already have. I have seen set ups using 4 eye bolts, so the bar is hung between two cables forming a V shape, and that does a fair job of reducing the swing.
