Angled or straight trapeze hooks for hammock

[cazz]

Hello
Planning to set up a hammock in a beam, and since the hooks will not hang vertically but horizontally, I'm wondering if I should angle the hooks a bit when fastening them or just screw them in at 90 degrees.

I thought that if I screw them in at 90 degrees, they might bend after a while or enlarge the hole they are in.

Otherwise, screw on a lashing bracket for boats, there is a model intended for walls http://www.jula.se/catalog/fritid/bat-och-marin/battillbehor/beslag/surrningsfaste-650219/

Yes, they will bend. At least they did for me.

mmm there are different mounts but have two powerful trapeze hooks that I was thinking of using.

Hmm if they bend now, it might be an advantage to screw them in at an angle?

There are coarser lashing points at other stores, fastened with lag screws

mmm but not where I live unfortunately, I could have bought it yesterday but now it's too late.

I'll try to screw them in a bit crooked.
