I have a vaulted ceiling above my tub &amp; really want a tension pole caddy, but not sure if it will still work correctly with an angeled ceiling?

I used this product on a flat ceiling but , as with all the units I've installed, I do a simple , cheap add on that may work for you..... Use some PVC fittings ( I used a coupling and cap on the ceiling end of the pole. This may work for you with a liittle trial and error to figure out whether 1/2 " or3/4 " fittings would work best in your application. I used this product with success and happy with it..... I would buy again.

I would be hesitant about hang anything from a drop ceiling. I would still try to attach to the actual ceiling with a pole or to a beam. Hope this helps.

I have a vaulted ceiling. Too hard to mount evenly. I returned. Seemed nice and was what I initially looking for in a rack.

Assuming your ceiling is flat (parallel to the floor), I would definitely think that things would just fall off. The front end of the hook is not quite parallel with the back side that attaches to the wall - it has a taper, and if flipped 90 degrees to be on a ceiling, that would be a ramp down for objects to slide off.

You got lot of answers here, some of them pretty good. All I can add to the discussion is: If you have high ceiling that pushes the installation to the outer edge of (alleged) capacity.... forget it... it will not be stable even with screws. Old houses with high ceilings may have mortar instead of wooden beams and sheet-rock... in that case answer is the same - forget it. Otherwise I agree, a tension supplied by adjusting the pole and some care in how you push on it when you use it (MOSTLY DOWN) makes it practical, ingenious workable solution.

The one I bought has HD (3/8") lag-type hooks that thread into a ceiling joist. Make CERTAIN that these are very secure, as they will be holding a lot of weight. I added gorilla glue to the hole before threading the hook into it. I am constantly checking these to make sure I don't have any problems. None so far - 3 years.

You have to wait until fixture is attached to the ceiling before attaching the crystal balls. Otherwise, they will get tangled and it will be hard to access the screws.

The vertical piece is adjustable. I had the same concern with my vaulted ceiling and still had plenty of room once it was set to lower it even more. I dont have a max extension since I didnt use its fully stroke, but mine is about 3 ft extended and if I had to guess maybe another ft to spare....Great Buy if it satisfies your needs....I am very happy with it, Good luck

If you are using it in your house, find a suitable ceiling joist. I used a ny-glide swing hanger (found on amazon) then the rotational device and heavy duty caribiner.

Okay J - Thank you so much! I am a visual learner and I had no idea how those metal things attach/clip, whatever and if it is hanging from the ceiling already, I guess it's not for support, but just to: Raise The Curtain if you will. Got it. Thanks

Yes, that is how my Mom uses it. As other users have said, just check tightening before you get in. Also be sure the longer part is outside of the tub for added security.

We also have a textured ceiling in my house. I want to be honest with you, I have not removed my Xpole since a few months, so I haven't seen how the ceiling looks now, but I truly think there is no problem since the Xpole has a kind of silicon ring that touches the ceiling when it is installed, so it does not make contact (metal-ceiling) at all. Just be careful when installing it, by not scrapping the pole to the ceiling; place the base on the ceiling only once and try not to move it from there. (Forgive my English, please)

Too hang a fan on a vaulted ceiling, you need an extention rod. You'll want to see what rods the manufacturer provide. Since I don't know the height of your vault, I wouldn't know what length of rod you'll need. You may be ok with an 18" rod.

Well, my ceiling is under 6 feet and with the shower I reduced the caddy to probably around 4 feet. It comes with several sections to the pipe that you can add or remove, so I simply left two sections off. There was still enough room for the spring-loaded end to provide stability.

I adjusted the height of my tube. I cut the threaded insert down to about 1 inch and completely removed the pole. This allows the light to sit close to the ceiling, but not flush, that way light can go up onto the ceiling. I posted pictures of this on my review.

Karen - this would work for you but you would not be able to use 2 of the racks. (you would have the basket and 4 racks.) It comes in a flat box, it would be easy enough to leave these off. My ceiling is 8', it took all of that to use the whole pole.
