Can this be installed by hanging it from a wood rafter above my patio or does need to be bolted to the side posts? My posts are 8.5 feet apart. Thanks

If you buy the 6x6 then you need to hang it on rafter as long the rafter doesnt have too much slope.

This item gives a lot of leeway when it comes to installing it. You should be able to attach it to the wood rafter.

I mounted mine on a pole but I had to drill my own holes in the base. It does not come prepared for pole mounting. It wasobviously intended for hanging only.

I have mine installed about 6 to 8 inches away from the wall supported by two posts driven about a foot into the ground. I attached the trellis to the postsusing stainless steel screws. It stands very well that way and has endured heavy winds.

There shouldn't be a problem if the branch is relatively horizontal for at least 5 feet. You may have to extend the chain. I have mine hanging from eye hooks in an 8 foot porch ceiling with one or two chain links to spare.Richard Low

I put in wood posts that go up 8'. If not in a deck, I would use metal posts in concrete.

I have mine installed about 10" from the ceiling and it looks great! I am sure 8" would work just as well.

The shelf corners hang from a vertical support arm (uprights?) that has a inch or two wiggle room. They connect to a brace that must be anchored into solid wood (ceiling joists) on either end of the vertical support arm. You'll need to install bolts from the outside so the shelf cannot be so close to the wall that you can't install, and tighten the bolt. There was a series of back and forth install steps that I needed to go through before I had the shelf put up properly, but I am happy I went with this product. It looks solid and dependable. Good Luck

There's a small cord housing unit that hangs at the bottom of the cord (2-3' from the top) and has to be screwed in to something to work properly (mounting hardware included). This caused a little problem for us because the shade hangs down about 8" away from the post the bracket is on so the cord is at an angle.

My husband installed ours and it blew down in a strong wind. He suggests you use something very sturdy, 4 solid mounting points. I wouldn't try it myself. Good luck.

I actually used big hooks and put one end against the eave of the house and the other side was hooked to 2 poles on the side of my deck...it has a place on each corner to make hanging it pretty simple...you will have to have something tho to support corners

It has to be installed over an existing post secured in the ground. They recomend a 4x4 but I had a 3 inch round aluminum pole set in concrete so I made wooden adapter brackets so the post thought it was going over a 4x4. Pictures available on request

I hung mine flush mount and it extends 18" down and an additional 10" for the longer chain. Use a yard stick and see how that distance will work for you. Mine is over my kitchen table. I hope this helps.

I agree with the others about setting posts further than the 12ft. I have chains attached to the house, about 1ft and then my posts are 14ft from the house also with some short chains. Rope is included with the shade to adjust to the correct distance, so my thoughts would be 14-15ft.

The hole are 6" apart both vertically and horizontally. I mounted my bracket to a 10" piece of 2x8 that is on a post ( landscape timber ) .

I didn't use posts. I mounted a bracket to my house and used 3 trees. The ropes to the trees are about 15 feet long.

I ended up hanging mine from a tree branch with some chain. I don't see how you could attach it to a post unless you just sit it on top of one.
