Is there any clearance allowed below the I-beam or does the bar have to be flush to the beam? I have a 2x6 running lengthwise below it (edges exposed)

there is a small amount of space maybe a half inch not nearly enough for a 2x6. Basically is has to be flush to the beam

The bracket mounts on each side of the ibeam. But there are 2 bars that connect underneath. So it needs to be flush against the ibeam.

The yellow mounting brackets hang down about 1.5 inches below the I-beam. The two perpendicular bars have to be flush with the I-beam, but the bar that you hold on to (that runs parallel to the I-beam) sits on top of the two perpendicular bars with two 1 inch spacers.

I mounted it without the down rod. The downrod is 4 inches, my clearance is about 8. I wouldn't chance it, to close.

You would probably need to check with the manufacturer. The beam comes with 12" risers.

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.

Hi I just measured 2 inches between bars. I have molding so my gate also has a 4 1/2 inch gap under it. I'm assuming you may have to consider that as well. Good Luck!

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.

I just measured the brackets from edge to edge. Their is a total of 48" in spacing. This fits my 7' bar with about 2-3" on both sides. I agree with A. Eckert, that it's probably impossible to rack a 6' bar. Hope this helps.

I just fit ours into a space 13 feet wide. It's hard to get an exact measurement, but I've probably got 6 inches leeway -- so maybe the total width is 12 1/2 ft. You may also need to factor this in: if you've got to put wood under the U bars (i.e., if you're not setting up on asphalt), you want the bar to hit the center of the wood squares (recommended 15" X 15" X 1.2" pressure treated), which will add another 15 inches to the width of the space you need. Given this, 14 feet is a good estimate for the width of the space you want to clear/level. The manual recommends having 6 feet of clearance on all sides for setup, but I did fine without all that extra space.

They spread all the way. I would have to go out and measure but I am quite certain it would be able handle a 6.5" beam. (you need to buy your hardware separate, it doesn't come with anything other than the bracket)

What do you mean? When mounted in the ceiling, it is mounted on the I-beam, flush with the beam. Not sure what you mean, you would need some kind of exhaust otherwise what's the point.

install a piece of 1'x1' flush with 3 screws flush with the door jamb. make sure the bars won't rub against it.

The bolts press down on the upper surfaces of the lower flanges of the I-beam. It is very secure. It installs in a couple of minutes.

I have mine hanging about 6" below a cedar beam and it has not affected the wood in any way. Best answer I can give

It looks like you get maybe 15cm (Just under 6 inches) of perfectly flat bar.I took some pictures for you: http://imgur.com/a/6UoZC

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.

It's been awhile since putting my bar up. I remember it takes a bit of turning to get it in place. I'd say 1/4 inch is too tight. You probably need at least a couple of inches of space to secure it. Once installed they are VERY strong. Good Luck.

I never installed mine, I didn't want to drill into my truck, but when you put it together the top piece of the crossbar has a short side and a tall side if you flip the bars it gives you extra clearance
