Thank you for the info and the words of encouragement. Yes, I would still prefer to have it hanging than have it on floor. It allows me to put on or take it off to store it away when not in use. And of course, could also be used for other (kinky) applications, which is a bonus. ;-)

With that said, I'll see if I can find an engineer for such small job to reassure everything is ok.

Thanks again.
