Status: offline 		Hey there, I am looking for some advice about hanging my sex swing. It is the basic sex swing and uses a large screw to secure it to the ceailing which was fine at my last place but I moved into an apartment and the studs in the ceiling are I beams, being that they are metal I cannot screw the swing into them and not being a construction genius I was hoping someone here might have an idea of what I could do. my partner and I really miss our swing

CLICK HERE to see an actual sling stand that you could buy.

Good luck!

Status: offline 		The Beams are not exposed so it is almost impossible to get a c-clamp on it but I like the idea.  the stand idea would work except I have a small space and no where to keep a stand. thank you for the ideas it is such a pain trying to figure this out, any help is greatly appreciated

Status: offline 		there are special c clamps that bolt on those I beams to hold conduit and other things they should be modifiable, additionally drill, oil and patience will wear a hole in a metal ibeam

Greybar or any electrical supply of any magnitude will have what you want, or pop by a large building being built from steel frame and ask fastenal (a company) should have them too.

Status: offline 		The simplest and most cost effective thing that I've done with my swing was to buy a pull up bar and place it in a doorway. The only complaint I have with doing it that way is I was unable to move around the submissive. So I spun her around instead Weeeeeeeeee lol.

   Industrial C-clamps are not a good choice based on the amount of movement in volved.  If you go to McMaster Carr or a strut (uni-strut, power strut etc) vendor you can find all that you need.  There are calmps design to secure a strut channel to a beam without drilling the beam.  You can get them from any Mechnical Contractor in your area.  Jest tell tell them is it for a swing.

Use a portable sling stand. http://www.leatherpost.com/static/SL0004.html
Unless your bottom is less than 100 pounds the moving weight of pretty much too much for a pull up bar to safely support due to the downward force motion puts on the bar.

You can use two by fours, drill and bolt them don't nail them.
You can stain them so they look nice and put some of that fancy lace stuff up.
Make them double thick (use two two by fours) and you can hang the fat lady in the circus up with no problem.
Just use a couple of "I" bolts screwed into a window frame if the bed backs up to one for steadying it by tieing the frame to the "I" bolts.

Status: offline 		I have a couple of questions for you

1. why would I-beams be used in an apartment?
2. are there metal or wood studs in your walls?
3. can you get into the attic?
4. Do you need to "cover up" when the swing is not in use?

depending on the answers (to 2, 3 and 4) I might can help out
