Anyone think I could mount this to a header beam in the middle of my basment? Suggestions on how?

yes thats what i did , pre-drilled holes, used lag bolts with washers and nuts..if the header beam is too thick, then just get lag screws, predrill and drive them 3" or more and that would hold

yes absolutely. get 4 long enough 1/4 " anchor bolts you can lock with a nut and washer on the back side. you will have to drill a pilot hole for each. should hold just fine.

I don't see why not...if anything you would just need to go to the hardware store and get some longer bolts if the beam is really wide. Couple bucks for 4 longer bolts nuts and washers should still be good.

Not really. It is meant for a center mount. I guess you could if you were willing to rig it creatively.

No. Because it is mounted on beam and you would not have enough clearance. I would go with wall mounted bar system. You might want to look at Xtreme Monkey Wall Mounted Chin Up Bar on Amazon. Still need enough head/upper body clearance. Good luck.

Yes, it's just a matter of hanging it correctly. Put the large "eye" screw thingees in place, and then, to level it, use a home depot purchased chain at the topmost part to level it with the bottom. I've got a related situation where I'm thinking about putting another one in a different location, but there is no proper beam to connect it to in the basement. So, I'm going to connect it a beam partially recessed under the ceiling, and get a chain to connect to the "eye" screw thingee, then level it. I'm sorry if I'm not clear. But I think it's workable for you with a vaulted roof.

i think you would have to sit it on top of something. Maybe if you went to a welder you could have him make you an extension? Mine works cool but it doesn't have to be high up and i have it on a stand. Maybe something from home depot could rig it?

I wall mounted it at the very top of the wall so that I could screw into the top plate. The room that I installed it in had a cathedral ceiling and I didn't want to ceiling mount. You will need a drill as holes for the bolts should be pre-drilled to make it easier to screw in the bolts. You won't be able to do it if you don't pre-drill. A ratchet set would also be helpful.

i imagine you could do that. i did it with my other tv mount so i could make sure it was secured in the center of the stud. then i just drywalled close to it then put a cover on it.

You would have to provide your own anchors and screws that can fit through the holes on the mount. Use a mason bit slightly smaller than the anchor to mount it.

I would only screw into the under side of a truss or beam. Not possible to screw in horizontal.

Definitely NOT NOT NOT. That is for a picture. I usually use something like OOK 50330 Jumbo Swag Hook with Hardware, White or a swivel hook. And try to put it in a beam by screwing it directly in. Easy that way. Just put a tiny dent in the ceiling to get the screw started. and tighten it. When it gets hard to tighten, use a screw driver and lever it in between the screw and turn it around and around until it is all the way in. Got to be a beam or piece of wood in your ceiling. Find one with a string and a magnet or a stud finder.

I used a 3/8 lag bolt into a wood header. I also put on some rubber washers. I just used 1 bolt so it swivels but is very secure. Worked well for my application. Good fan.

no you cannot! it requires some type of rail system to be able to mount it! at least the one i have

The holes are 6.5" on center and the plate is 8" over all. My suggestion would be to lag a couple of pieces of 2x to the bottom of your beam to give you some breathing room.

I don't plan to mount it in a horizontal position, but, I don't see why you couldn't. It should be fine mounted horizontally.

I would say yes, however you may want to make sure to use larger screws into the beam you secure it to.

You could mount a 1x2 on top of you board that you have. If the hooks arnt wide enough. That would be a option. Not sure why it dosnt work for you.

You should be able to mount it on a ceiling. You may have to seal around the mounting base.
