What is the minimum recommended clearance between the ceiling and the bar? Distance from the top of the bracket or handle would be most useful. Thx.

2 Inches should suffice if you are asking this question. Seriously though, minimum clearance is the distance from your shoulders to the top of your head.

I think it's up to you. Nothing in the instructions. I put it high enough that it's a reach for me, but left plenty of clearance for my head at the top. That came out to 8" from the top edge of the brackets to the ceiling. That leaves over a foot of head room when I do pull ups.

It would be close probably ok if you set it up so head is between joists. I have plent of clearance with a 8" ceiling and am 6"2 and short legs all upper body I do have to move away from a ceiling fan that hangs down a little more than a foot. It is a great price of equipment though and would highly recommend it if you have the space

I measured mine at 23" for the part of the bar that doesn't move. The outside edge of the grips are 18" apart and inner edge of grips are 9-1/2" apart. I have mine in a 38" doorway, so distance from wall to outside of grips is 10-1/2 inches. Has worked well in the year+ I have had it up. Use for pull-ups, band work, and have a TRX attached to it.

I'll get back to you tomorrow morning.. I use a 6' bar and it makes it with some room to spare so my first impression would be no. I'll give you a more precise answer tomorrow when I get home.

Yes, I would recommend having a minimum clearance of your longest tool/rake/etc plus about 10 inches when taking the item out of the rack. I would not recommend it storing large/long tools in an area with a low to normal 7-8ft ceiling (run the risk of hitting the ceiling occasionally). I personally have mine in the basement with a 10ft clearance. It would also work well in some of the pre-fab tool sheds that have a high ceiling. Hope this helps.

Vertical clearance 4-1/2"; larger hanging bracket opening is 1"; smaller is 1/2"

I think you can get close to flush. The stem comes with 2 long pieces and 2 short. We used on short and it's about 9" from ceiling. You can mount without that to get closer.

You can space the brackets however you need to. You mount your brackets into your studs. The bar slides through the brackets.

The space needed by the inside facing handle between the outer and inner doors is 3.17 cm. I just measured the one I installed. I don't see any way to make it need less clearance than that.

The Recommended Distance in between bars is 25 in - 30 in for optimal mounting

I was limited for space on my 60" wall, so I hung four brackets 12" apart and like you're planning, alternated them between high and low. I own four 26" Specialized mountain bikes with standard length handlebars. To make them fit, I inverted (faced downwards) the lower bracketed bikes and kept the upper bracketed bikes facing upwards. The clearance between the handlebars is 1-2". The reason I hang it that way is so I can take any bike out without having it interfere with the others. Hope this helps.

A few people mentioned a handle, but I don't see a handle in the photo. What clearance do you need, to use this underneath something?

HI Sorry to say this cannot be mounted to the ceiling. The bar locks into the end bracket when mounted in the door frame.Having said I installed mine on the main support beam in the basement. Used a 4x4 and lag bolts. Cut and mount 4x4 below the beam but not to low that you walk into it. I did this rather than a door frame.

Good day, this is compatible with nearly all types of bikes. How close to the ground it may be will depend on the vehicle. This extends from under the seat to under the handlebars, so that should help if you hold the bike up to the carrier and visualize this beam across that area, it should give you a fair idea of how much clearance you will have. Thanks!

The bar is pretty much right under the joist. If you used the grips instead of the bar you might be able to depending on where its mounted. Mine is mounted in the garage ceiling joist so I have extra room above the joist. If it's mounted in the basement on a floor joist I don't thing you would be able to do it. Also, unless you're using perfect form, you may have issues as well. I think once a person got fatigued and their form starts to waiver they may start going forward too much and face plant the joist.

We have this bar and our ceiling is 7' 8". My daughter is 53" and can practice back hip circles successfully. The kips make me nervous. We love this bar!
