I am wondering what would be a stronger hook to hang a hammock:

  1. (Left) Double hook of 12mm diameter steel welded to a steel plate
  2. (Right) Single piece 12mm diameter steel hook

Assume that in both options it would be connected through the wood via bolts from behind. I know nothing about welding, but I feel like with option #1 I need to trust the welding job of this item. It looks solid, but what if it's not and the whole thing just breaks? Or is that not a concern?
