How to hang a sling

From the mathematic view its really simple to hang a sling. The distance of the hooks in the ceiling from eachother is to be calculated to sling width + 2 x Y. Y results from the height of hanging H and the hanging angle alpha to

Y = h x sin(alpha) / sin(90° – alpha)

As you see this matter might become somewhat complicated.

But maybe we can help you with some practical tips: If your ceiling is stable enough (e.g. concrete), you need hooks for concrete (or for wood, if you intend to hand the sling in a arbor construction). The distance of the hooks from eachother you get indeed from the upon listed cryptical formula. But we calculated for you some practical values to work from.:

For the mathematicians of you: we estimate an »optimal angle« of 20 degrees and all values are CIRCA. So please use your sense of proportion too!
