How much 'head room' do I need? My basement ceiling is only about 7 feet - I'm 5'3", my husband is 5'9".

I am 5'7", and need 6' 8" to 6' 10" ceiling. I don't jump super high, but high enough toclear the surface a couple inches. If your ceiling is truly 7' tall, your husband isgoing to be very close. Probably too close. 7'2" would probably be ok.

I'm 6' 3" using the tranp in a room with a 9' ceiling. My most energetic sessions put my head within a foot of the ceiling. I do not raise my arms above shoulder level so have no concern about height. That is about all I can offer to help you decide. I use the tranp almost every day. I hope this has helped.

If I use my rebounder at night I can see my reflection in a glass door. I was surprised to see how little extra height is attained. For most rebounding, as one commenter put it, "you don't get a lot of air", maybe a couple of inches.

Unlike a bigger trampoline where you are trying to 'get air', you don't need a lot of head room for a rebounder (mini-trampoline). With a rebounder you are supposed to jump 'into the mat' rather than propel yourself upwards, so you don't need a great deal of headroom. A few inches should be plenty.

the trampoline mat WITHOUT anyone on it is about a foot off the ground. When you are bouncing it sinks a bit, of course, depending on your weight. So when you jump, youd be starting out lower then 1 foot off the ground for your upward movement. Also, the the tramp is tense (I adjust mine tightly with max knots) you dont get a lot of air. given those two things I think it would be very very hard to come close to hitting a ceiling.

Ours is outside. If you are going to put it inside, you may want to add at least a couple of feet higher than the dimensions. I would say at least a 10 ft ceiling. Anything less would be risky.

I have 7'5" of ceiling height in my basement and it just fits, but we had to modify how we assembled the top of the rack. It just needed to be stood up before the top bar (angled with pull-up bar attached) was installed. We even installed the optional lat pull-down attachment and it all fits nicely in the basement. One note would be that you need about another 8-10" (about 8'+) for pull-ups. We were able to position the rack so that we do pull-ups with our heads between the floor joists, giving us an extra 10" of clearance. It's a great set-up for a home gym.

Eight feet is more than enough. I have nine feet to the rafters, which is oceans of room, and I just now tested, and if you have eight feet, you should have a few inches of clearance to shoot overhand and not hit the ceiling when the shot is at its apex.

I am 6ft and have mine in a room that is 7' 10" where my head is. There is a 4" space above my head. So a 7' ceiling maybe too low for you.

I will agree about 7 feet. Allow for spring and chain length from ceiling too.

Sorry, I am only 5'1" so I have plenty of room. My husband is 5' 7" and he has plenty of room over head and feet.

Hi Marie,My ceiling is 7'3" and I'm 5'9". With the incline at 100% My head clears by about 1 or 2 inches. If you don't use the incline at 100% you should be ok. It adds between 15 and 18 inches to your height.

You are 34" off the ground at the top step so 9' ceilings should be fine for almost all users. 8' or less could be an issue.

My ceiling is 7' 6"" and it's no problem. I think you should be ok with a 7' ceiling.

I measured from the floor to the top of the pullup bar as 86.5 inches. So if you're going to pull your chin over it you'll need 86.5 inches plus a little more than the distance from your chin to the top of your head. I say a little more because you'd hate to get your head wedged in there lol. With an 8ft ceiling you should be able to pull your chin to it with your head tilted back a bit. Kind of like you're stretching your chin up a bit to reach it but you wouldn't be able to pull up until your chest touches the bar.. or at least i wouldn't

Not enough if you are hanging from a vaulted ceiling. I had a I go to Home Depot for more. 36 inchesb as not enough. Also , call the country and they will be mail instructions to put together !!!! It is from utube. Much needed!!!!!

You will need minimum 7-8 inches. That will leave you with enough wiggle room just in case you have to get back there. If youre in a space where clearance is at a premium you might get away with 6 from the wall. Good luck.

Wow, that's a low ceiling. I don't think it will accommodate. Our ceiling where we used to have our old elliptical is 7 feet, and my husband who is 6'6" was able to manage, but your feet with this elliptical are really high off the ground.. almost 2' at highest level. I am 5'7" and would just be able to fit with that room. But because it doesn't for my husband, we moved it to our unfinished part of the basement, and his head has to go between the rafters!
