I have a plaster ceiling with an attic on top and wooden beams. Am I able to secure the Xpole? How do I go about finding right place to secure it?

You need to make sure you are able to locate the beam using a stud finder and by knocking on the ceiling to listen for a solid part which usually indicates a beam. Then you need to make sure you set up the pole centered underneath that beam for support. You can check out the 2014 installation video at http://youtu.be/DSm_fRPS_tkour and also other videos on our X-Pole US youtube page which shows you how to set up the pole.

You can either staple it to the roof truss or alternatively stapled to the joices / bottom of truss on top of insulation. It all depends on your environment [in my situation, I did it to the bottom of the roof truss as it was in my garage where the bottom of the truss is open and used for storage, etc] and the RadiantGUARD website lists many different possible applications for the foil.

find a beam above your dry wall ceiling and screw in a big lag bolt hook ,but make sure it is a truss or something that will hold your weight and wont crack your ceiling,or go in the attic and beef up where your going 2 hang it from, that is where your husband or boy friend comes in handy.good luck scott

Take your drill and insert an appropriate drill bit to a size slightly smaller than the wood bolt that came with the hanger. Mark the holes on your beam in the ceiling. Drill your holes. Now find the right socket and use a socket wrench to tighten the bolt. If you have the right extension, it can be inserted in your drill and then you can power the bolt in. No disrespect intended, but if you refer to a Phillips head or a slotted head on a standard screw as diverts, I would highly recommend that you find someone handier than yourself to mount your heavy bag. I am concerned that you might injure yourself if you might it improperly. Take your drill and insert an appropriate drill bit to a size slightly smaller than the wood bolt that came with the hanger.

I attached to the wood framing in the ceiling. I doubt a drop ceiling tile will hold the weight of the mount and projector.

I don't know. The top link is a loop, so you'd need a hook to hang from your ceiling and you'd have to figure out how to secure it.

Initially I hung it over my door. Maybe because I open my door so quickly that it would lift up a little on the bottom and move around each time I opened and closed my door. A friend of mine tied a white twisty wire from the pantry shelf unit to the pantry door know to secure it on the bottom half without having to mount it ( thereby not drilling holes ). I went ahead and drilled holes and secured it to my door - it's wonderful and never moves !

If mounting to the ceiling, I would install a 3/4inch piece of plywood 12 x 12 inches and I would anchor the mounting bracket to the 3/4inch plywood and the ceiling using 3 1/2 inch bolts or wood screws.I hope this helps? Good Luck!

Some speakers come with hardware that secures the frame to the ceiling. Unfortunately, that wasn't true in my case, so I used Liquid nails (applied all around the edges) to glue the speaker backing to the ceiling. It has worked fine.

It will not hold if screwed into sheetrock only....I am sure that our ceiling beams and a purchased bracket for mounting were used to mount the vent. We had to use it as a recirculating unit, rather than vented to the outside. It was a big job to install and our electrician did most of the job. He special ordered the bracket but I couldnt give you more info. We have had the unit for 2 yrs and I amvery happy with it.

On mine, I attached a wooden board to the roofs structural cross beam with 2 drywall screws under the roof felt. NOTE - Make sure the screws are not too long where they would puncture the roof. The unit can then be fastened to the board at the 4 mounting holes. Sound from this unit is okay - I hear static even with a ground isolator.

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 do not have a plaster ceiling but I don't see where it would be any different. I am assuming that you are concerned with the plaster chipping/shattering etc. If it were me, I would tape over the area to be drilled and or apply some sort of paste that is water soluble such as a flour and water mixture. This would act as a "shock absorber" to absorb the vibrations caused by drilling. Use a new masonry bit and do not use a hammer drill. Again, this is my theory and it is untested. My rack works great and I am pleased with it.

I haven't had any ceiling height issues at all -- not even a close issue whatsoever. Mine is stored in the garage, which is the standard 2-car garage attached to the house. I'm thoroughly enjoying this tool organizer. Hope this info helps you.

I could use it but in mine as I have a single sheet of drywall for a ceiling. If you have a double layer, plaster, or other thick type ceiling It wouldn't secure without modification to the box.

It would be best to set on floor then set fan on top and force air towards attic. But you can suspend it from ceiling by screwing hook into roof and bungy cord it there to cut down on sound/vibration. I use mine from the floor threw lights into attic.

im not a pro but in my opinion, i would use some other support. they are extremely heavy by any means, but i feel like over time, your drop ceiling tiles will begin to sag. I dont know if they sell some kind of cross beam to secure this light but i would check that out before just relying on the strength of the tile.
