| Comment | Tap on the ceiling. If it's hollow, not a joist. If it's solid, joist. They will also be evenly spaced. Most wire detectors also come with joist detection mode.
All joists are strong, as they're what's holding the building up. If the screws and hooks were strong enough, you could suspend a car from your ceiling joists.
So, yes, all you need to do is find your joists, sink in a couple of screws and taps, and you too can have a bike winch, and after you've taken it out all that's left is a couple of small screw holes, which can be very easily filled in.
If you're in a new concrete build it would be trickier to do without being obvious cosmetically. |
