The problem

Hi there all. I have the Auping Original which on their site they mention is steel.I was thinking off adding rivnuts (to use as tie points), either the countersunk (schematic) or the normal ones (schematic). Since it is a steel frame, I would probable get the stainless rivnuts and paint both the rivnuts and the frame after I drilled the holes to prevent them from being shiny and to prevent any chance of galvanic corosion (altho based on my research the chance is quite low if there is no water).

As for the actual points to tie to I was thinking about an eye bolt (version 1 or version 2) both stainless because I think its smoother and would let rope run along it better. But I might want to paint it black, but I'm not sure this gives problems when I run rope along them. Will the paint come off or will the rope not run along it as smoothly? An other option would be an eye bolt with ring. I love these because they have a wide opening (5cm/2" instead of the 1.5cm/1/2" of just the eye bolt). It would make it easier to feed rope or webbing through, it will make more sound and im also scared that it will start to leave marks on the bedframe in the long run as the loose ring will be moving agains the bedframe

And then there still stands the overall question. Will a ruvnut stay in place if the bolt eye that's inserted in to it will be pulled on repeatedly (by a person). And of not, are ther any other solutions to attached a detachable eye to the bedframe?

Thank you

First of all thank you for taking the time to read my post, please let me know your thoughts and experiences with bedframe mounting, rivnuts and painting them.
