How well can this be anchored to the ceiling? Will it rip out?

you better know what your screwing into. 2x4 are not good. a 4x4 beam screwed all the way through with a steel plate on top with flat washer, lockwasher and nut. or buy one of many stands for them. hope this helps.

To be honest that depends on the rafters in your home. If not anchored right, Yes it will ripe out and than you have more of a problem. you might want a stand that you can attach it too.

Hi Leah, No fears, this product is great and enjoying every day. Make sure there is an 'anchor' when installing - it has not moved at all and truly easy to install! Enjoy, I certainly do :) Good luck, Marthie

You would have to use a very strong hook (3/8" would work) anchored into a ceiling joist in order to make sure it will hold. Drill a pilot hole into the joist and screw the hook as far into the joist as possible. I would definitely recommend a swivel and spring for this installation. I use a swivel on a strap around a strong tree branch outside and the bounce is part of the fun of this chair.

With a couole of drywall anchors and a screw it will. T be part that goes over the cubicle comes off.

There were two chains with a hook in the middle to be anchored in the ceiling. I guess the chain was about 4 feet long and you could use all of it or some of it. That would be two feet of chain per corner. I threw out the blueprint. I put four anchors into the ceiling. I used hand-tools to cut the chain to length. I just pulled on a link with pliers and pried with a screwdriver and popped the link open. My ceiling was angled so that was a big reason for that, but 4 anchors add greater stability to the potrack. It's a lightweight potrack, but I after putting mine up, I love it a lot and use it every day. It does a good job and looks nice. If you have a real nice kitchen, you probably would purchase something a lot heavier. This works in my small house. Good luck.

I agree with the previous poster. You need a ceiling mount that will cradle it. It will not attach directly to many of the ceiling mounts on the market that bolt in.

I guess if you have some strong hooks screwed into studs. Sounds dangerous. How tall are the ceilings? How big is the room?

I attached to the wood framing in the ceiling. I doubt a drop ceiling tile will hold the weight of the mount and projector.

I hung mine from the ceiling, which was not that difficult. I'm not sure if that would work since the top is not adjustable.

Apx 24 47 69 Wold be most secure with low ceiling I have in bedroom with I very high ceiling we didn't mess with the top part at all we attached it to the wall with an L bracket. It is not a high quality product by any means but it has served it's purpose.

It does detach and can be used like a corded DustBuster. I've never used it on the ceiling. But I think you could. The cord is short though.

It has to be anchored to something, preferably concrete. They provided some heavy duty anchors that worked great. I sunk a 4 inch concrete base in the ground and attached the lamp. The whole thing is really lightweight and wind should cut around it. We get some pretty bad storms and I think it should hold up. So far this winter we have had several blizzards and 50mph winds with no problem

It probably is, but I wouldn't recommend it. I anchored mine is a ceiling joist, so it wouldn't pull the bracket out, but the weight of a person might bend the bracket.

We were building our house, so we had the contractor reinforce the area on the ceiling from which we were going to hang it. In addition to that, we used a chain and appropriately-strong carabiners (rated for 300 pounds I believe). We've all climbed into the pod and it held up (probably a total of 225 pounds). I recommend getting some sort of design-like cloth to cover the chain if you're using it indoors since a chain is very industrial looking. It does swing quite a bit if the kids good around so it can damage the paint on the walls if they are close enough. Great addition to the kids room though.

No I don't think so. The plastic is hard and I doubt you could get a whole in it.It will stick on the ceiling with the right adhesive.

Not directly, but the chain could be shortened to one or two links. It could probably be attached to a hook or a plate already in place on a ceiling.

It will not hold if screwed into sheetrock only....I am sure that our ceiling beams and a purchased bracket for mounting were used to mount the vent. We had to use it as a recirculating unit, rather than vented to the outside. It was a big job to install and our electrician did most of the job. He special ordered the bracket but I couldnt give you more info. We have had the unit for 2 yrs and I amvery happy with it.

It will not fall... it doesn't actually screw into the ceiling but has a suction kind of top with a metal bar that presses against the ceiling. I've had mine for quite awhile and do flip, turns, spins, and every kind of trick on it and it's never budged! I've even had grown men play around on it and it held up perfect!

....... I was curious so I just connected it to a "L" shaped , heavy duty hook I use to hang my bicycle . My ceilings are 10' ( yes , they are very nice ) and the device worked perfectly , enough cord , no problem . As a previous post mentioned , make sure the device is very sturdily , a little snug on top of the door and you should be able to close the door when connected . It will work fine. Be well.
