01Step 1 of 4

Use the stud finder to locate and mark a stud at both a low (~12") and high (~60") position. Mark the backer plate to span the stud.

02Step 2 of 4

Drill pilot holes, then lag-screw the plywood plate to the stud at all four corners. The plate spreads the load across the framing.

03Step 3 of 4

Drill and thread the two eye bolts through the plate into the stud — one low, one high — for high-row and low-curl angles.

WarningAnchor into a real stud, never drywall alone. A band pulling out under tension can snap back hard.

04Step 4 of 4

Clip the band to the eye bolt with the carabiner. Test with light tension first, watching the plate for any pull-away before going heavy.
