What kind of pole do I use to mount it 6-8 ft high?

Either size pole is fine. I purchased the poles with the set and I believe it is around 6 feet but adding the other pieces makes it around 7 feet. I hope this helps.

I would recommend using the Achla pole system that complements the Achla pole top w/rectangular base. I would strongly advise using the corksrew in-ground pole base which will provide you solid base/foundation for the entire pole sysystem.

I used a 3/4" pipe nipple attached to a metal pole I had. The OD on the nipple is about 1" and the pole top fits over it with very little plat.

I have an 84" pole with hook for plant (Menards) 1/2 inch around, but you can go bigger, possibly to a little over an inch. Adjustments have to be made but nothing an average joe couldn't figure out.

The distance to "get" something between the shell is 6 ". It will not be easy to put something with 8" high. In any case you would need to squeeze at least 2 inchs

The small rod that can be seen at the top extends through the bottom and it can only be suspended by that rod. No pole mount is possible

I would use the high mount, I have a Monarch 2.5-10x42 and I am using a Medium (It's close).

It may have a max drop of about 2-3ft at the very end, so you may have to mount at 8-9ft high minimum.

I read about a 6" extension to use this for 11 meter. Where would I get a 6" extension? ---- TIA

It doesn't come with a pole. You have to buy that seporatly. I mounted mine on my fence, so it's as tall as I wanted it to be.

Hi, I don't the maximum height. We mounted ours at eight foot. Works great.

I believe there is another model made by the same company that extends to 9-10feet. You should probably buy that model. Our pole just reached our ceiling at 8.5 feet. hope this is helpful.

the pole is good for up to an 8ft ceiling. I ran into an issue when moving to a new place with a 10ft ceiling. Remedied by purchasing a 10ft pole from the hardware store.

If its on your roof use one like the one I ordered here HDTV Antenna Mount - 20in If you want it on a pole I would either put 1" metal outdoor conduit pole plumb in ground and either put a bag of sack crete around it or do what I seen someone do put it in a 5 gal bucket and pour sackcrete in around it.

Read the product description. Pole holders are 12" long. Mounting holes are 20-3/8" wide.

You can get this mount: Spalding 8406SR Universal Mounting Bracket. Which says this in the write-up "Adapts backboards to 3.5-inch round poles, roof or wall; holds backboard at fixed height; 10-inch of offset from pole/wall;" The comments on that item support the claims of wall mounting. Good Luck!

Hi Terry - I checked the settings and the tallest is 6'8" - so you should be fine.

You will need a stand. Mine is installed through a hole in a round patio table and the pole sits in a stand on the floor.Hope this helps.
