Porch Swing Bed Hanging Help

I'm making a porch swing bed and the joists don't line up perfectly with the dimensions. I don't want to have flared out rope as I don't think that it would be good to go out to the sides at an angle possibly twisting the joists. So my thought is to mount some uni strut with lags to the ceiling across all the joists involved (5) and use some strut nuts 3/8 inch thick Mount eyebolts to them and secure it that way will this be strong enough? Is there a better way? submitted by /u/Single-Expression-99 [link] [comments]
