Reply to comment by Jolly-Performer in Hanging 15 lbs child from a 1x6 over head. Which supports more downward force - screwing horizontally into the 1” edge, or vertically straight up into the 6” face? by Jolly-Performer

That board that you are seeing is likely just a 1x6 that was placed over the rough framing which should be a 2x.

In this case my guess is that you have 2 1/4" of solid material all the way around that opening. Good luck.
