My basement ceiling is about 8 1/2 ft. Will the height of the rim and the arc of the shot work at this height?

As it sits assembled, mine stands at 80" (6'-8") at it's highest point. The rim is 18" (1'-6) below that highest point. On really high arching shots you might hit your ceiling but in my opinion you'd be fine as most shots would never go that high.

It would be very tight. Not sure you would be happy with it given your space.

Mine is attached to my I beam in my basement (7 feet from floor). Hooked on a 6" carabiner and is still one foot off the floor. Works great for me.

You can unscrew the tube from the unions and pull the tube apart so that the height is raised. The top of the arc on mine seats at Aprox. 7.5 feet.

I have 8 foot ceilings, and I'm 5'1". when I put the incline up to 40 the top of my head is even with the top of the closet door which would be about 7 feet. So I don't think it would work for you with a 7' ceiling. You would have to have at least and 8' ceiling.

I have the rim 12" from the ceiling. This allows me to shoot with almost a normal form. This is the best indoor/office hoop I have ever used. Enjoy.

Our proform 1110 E is in our basement. The ceiling in 7' 6" and I am 6' 3" with my shoes on. I have to keep the incline at 0 in order to keep about 1" of clearance for my head. When the incline is all the way up (20), my head hits if I stand tall. If I lean forward (as you would if you were walking or running up hill), I'm ok, but it's a bit uncomfortable. If our basement ceilings were a full 8' tall I'd be fine. If you're under 6' tall, you'll probably be fine too. My wife is only 5' tall so it isn't an issue for her at all. :-D

Yes, it should work with no issues pending ceiling height. The thread to screw it in, and the hex portion (1 1/16") are all the same regardless of which anode rod you choose. Magnesium is more efficient then aluminum rods.

My son has his in his basement. 8' ceiling. He loves it...he is 6'2" and climbs in with his 18 mo, old son!

My husband is 6 ft and we have 8ft ceilings in our basement. It works for him but is close. Also can make a slight difference on whether lean forward or back.

We have ours installed with a 24" downrod on a 6/12 vaulted ceiling. If the pitch of your ceiling is flat enough, then a 12" downrod should be OK.

You are going to be really squeezing it. I don't think it will work for you, as I am 6,1 and I must be at least 7 feet high when I am on the up and up part of the dip.I am so sorry, you can't use it in basement, maybe somewhere else, because it is definitely worth it.Good luck friend.

I would think so. We have 8 foot ceilings and the bouncer does not touch the ceiling. Also note there is no roof to the bouncer.

Yes, most likely you will. I am 5'2 and did not hit my head, however I believe my 5'10 brother was unable to use it. We put it in a basement with 7' ceilings as well

I can say with a high level of confidence that it will fit. All of the extension rods come with it so you are all set. Our ceiling is about that high too. We love ours and were just commenting how well it's held up. I would strongly recommend.

Sorry, I do not know. We use it in the garage and it never shot off; however, not sure the garage made it to 80

In my case, the top of the arc is 89 inches from the floor. The bottom of the drops is 79 inches. The height is not adjustable. But you my be able to change it for a couple of inches by slightly bending the arc.

Yes. Unless you are shooting from far back and need the air space, 8' should be fine. We stand right up against the court so we can reach down for the basketballs without even looking and when they are thrown, they might go above the entire court like 6"-1'. Good luck on choice.
