I have 11 foot ceilings, how can I get the ceiling support rod to be long enough?

Good question - since most clawfoot tubs are in older houses with tall ceilings. We just used a peice of chain to lengthen the rod. It was a rental house, and we're already moved on so I don't have a picture. By the way, this product worked for us - it is definitely a little more on the less-quality side of things (just light-gauge materials, overall cheap feel to it). It worked for what we wanted, and would buy one again. If it were my house, I would just get rid of the tub for something more usable. You end up with nowhere to put shampoo or soap.

I suggest you measure the diameter of the rods, buy new ones the required length at any hardware store and then attach them to the provided mounts. We had to cut our rods, it is fairly easy with a basic plumbers pipe cutting tool.

If you can the existing rod into your local hardware store, they can match the width and thread pitch, and provide you with a longer solution.

Home depot or lowes will have threaded rod and a coupler to extend what you have

Since the ceiling support rod that comes with the package wasn't adjustable besides the standard height, I had to also go to the local hardware store and purchase a new one. I bought one that was fully threaded and matched up the pieces to get the right diameter. You should be able to buy a fairly long rod if you choose to solve the problem this way and just switch out the standard rod with a new one.

The fixture comes with 3 rods that screw together so you can adjust the height. 2 rods are long and one is half the size. We have one long rod and the half rod screwed together so it's about 15 inches from the ceiling. You can add the third rod to make it longer or take one of the rods away to make it shorter. It's adjustable in height like that. Hope this helps! It's a beautiful fixture!

Our ceilings are 8' and the pole works fine. There is a threaded rod that inserts into the pole at the top, and I don't remember how far it is inserted into our pole. I'm pretty sure that another 4 or 5 inches is inserted in the pole, which would let it extend to nearly 8' 6". There may be even more than that inserted into the pole. The pole is a good solid steel, so it could be cut off to make it as short as you would want.

I wouldn't think you could because the end going into the fan is threaded and the ceiling end is not. My fan is 12-13 feet above the floor and I don't have any problems with airflow (heating or cooling). I think if you could extend the rod, you may have problems with sway, but I do believe you can buy longer rods. Just my thought

Rod comes in four screw together sections Two 15" and Two 12". You must use 1 of the 15" sections as it is the only rod that will screw to the ceiling base. So you have multible choices 15",27",30",39",42&qu;ot; or 54" lenght.

There must be too much space between your ceiling post and the floor. I couldn't say definitively because mine was missing the floor piece when I got it, so I never got to set it up.

Dear RolandoIt appears that the locking mechanism holds tightly when extended to 11 feet. Good luck, hope it works.

11 inches. The wiring could use a couple of inches added to make easier to install. Just take your time putting it together. I love it. It is beautiful on the ceiling.

There are different holes you use for the bolts to set the height. If you want to have it taller or shorter, you need to unbolt the rods and use the holes you want. You can't set it anywhere in the range, just where the holes are.

the pole is good for up to an 8ft ceiling. I ran into an issue when moving to a new place with a 10ft ceiling. Remedied by purchasing a 10ft pole from the hardware store.

Great question The ceiling support is roughly 30" (inches) long. Make sure you cut it the correct length. Measure twice and cut Once.

You have to use the ceiling rod because of the weight of two shower curtains and for stability. Hit a stud or use toggle bolts when mounting to ceiling and walls. If the rod is too long you can easily cut it to length with a hacksaw.

I used the longer rod and I just measured how low it hangs from the ceiling. It's about 18 inches including the light fixture. Hope this helps.

I used two brackets for mine, but rod sags a bit in the middle. May decide to add another bracket.

How long are the rods? I have a 14' ceiling. I must hang them 5' down from the ceiling. Can I??? Thanks all for the answers.

I ordered 3 lights and needed my rods longer for hanging over a bar area with varying heights. My ceiling is slanted, so I purchased an adapter to screw into the rod end and then used chain the length I needed to reach the ceiling. That way the lights hung straight from the slanted ceiling. I love my lights!
