Installing your hangar
1) Define mounting location, with deliberation on the integrity of mounting structure.
2) It may be necessary to add structural supports depending on your actual conditions, location, orientation of existing ceiling joist, etc.
You may require professional assistance for the installation if you do not feel comfortable with structural integrity of the proposed location.
3) Locate the centerline(s) of the mount point in each direction.
Long centerline is critical, this is the direction along which the four (4) mounting screws attach. Mark center line at least 15" from center point on both sides. This will allow alignment of template.
Short centerline is reference point between both uprights (legs)
4) Use template to locate mounting screw holes, by aligning center points in the center of the template and at the ends.
5) Mark holes with center punch or nail, drill pilot hole for screws.
