For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I don't see a problem.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah. I gotta say I came in here to see what the problem was. These things support a ton of weight and, while it may not be beautiful, it isn't going anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's not a longterm solution. If they could just put a pin through the pole or add a beam to support the weight then it might hold but as is this is far too temporary to be considered safe.

Where are you getting that information? This is the same hardware used to build stadium seating in more local venues.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist. Gravity is pulling down, the clamps are only holding via very strong friction and metal will expand or contract in different temperatures (although it's unlikely to change much indoors). Add any form of support from below and it will become as strong and reliable as you could ever want. Don't add any form of support and someday, in the middle of the dark night, you're going to slide and potentially launch yourself into floor headfirst if you're not careful.

Murphy's Law - Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

Yeah I was expecting them to be zip tied or some shit. I'd do jumping jacks on this zero hesitation as long as it's supported to a stud.

I wouldn't mind some kind of lip around the edge of the board holding the mattress but it's not gonna go anywhere. That would mostly just be to keep your phone etc from sliding off.

Lmao I just realized I'm reinventing the jail bunk

I've only been here a few weeks but OP looks like the GallowBoob of Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago

Lemmy is actually only 3 people. Picard, pugjesus, and flyingsquid. Every other user is just an alt for one of us.

TPM is nothing like that leech. They just post a lot

You gotta drill some vent holes in the plywood so the mattress doesn't get moldy, but otherwise this is a valid set up
