How can I install a swing?

6 years ago

Im trying to install a small kid swing in our playroom for my 2 boys. The ceiling is all drywall with lamps installed in it (suspended ceiling I suppose). There is also this one weird part in the middle that I thought is concrete but I’m not sure, I tried drilling and it feels like metal inside. Is there anything I can do to hook up a swing in this room?

If this is a basement it could be a steel I-beam. I would open some sheetrock to find out exactly what you have there (it's not a big deal to patch afterward) and see what would be the best way to make a swing attachment.

That's said if there is an I-Beam they have I-Beam clamps which are very easy to install, and perfect for swing attachment. They also have I-Beam or H-Beam Installation Kits for that but to install them beam needs to be drilled.

Find out what you have there this way would be easier to suggest the best attachment method.
