Does anyone have any suggestions about how to anchor the hooks in the concrete? Irene Hi Irene, I have to echo what Steve Jernigan wrote-- I work for a precast concrete company, so it's "What I Do" when I'm not paddling, or more accurately, it's what I do to finance paddling and gadgets. I wanted to give you some reassurance and some more detail about his suggestion but not sound like a "me too" on the list! If you drill, you'll probably need a 1/2" diameter hammerdrill (can usually be rented) and drill the 1 1/2" hole. With a 1/2" hole, you can then insert a "Red Head" type drive-in anchor that will accept a normal threaded 1/4" eye bolt. If and when you move, you can just screw out the eyebolts and the anchors will remain flush, and barely noticeable in the ceiling. Or, his epoxy suggestion was a good one--just use some duct tape to hold the ring to the ceiling while it cures.
