Does this pole cause damage to a ceiling made of sheet rock? And my ceiling is slanted, does anyone know what I can buy for that?

You shouldn't have a problem but make sure you use a stud finder to place it under a beam or you'll have problems. There is a vaulted ceiling attachment you can buy and screw into your ceiling.

This pole really doesn't damage any kind of ceiling since it has some sort of colorless rubber that besides keeping the pole from flipping, stainlessly protects your ceiling. Nevertheless, I think you shouldn't place this pole in a room with sheet rock ceiling and in fact, I think they state that in the instructions. You need to place it in a place with a strong made ceiling since the pole is gonna keep itself in place by applying pressure to both ceiling and floor. Instructions also state that it can't be installed in a slanted ceiling room, so I strongly suggest that you find a different room to place it in. Hope this helps!

NO it will not cause damage to your ceiling. there is a piece you can buy for vaulted ceilings if it is not already in the package.

I am sorry I can't answer your question as I had to return it. (No problem with the fixture, just didn't work for me. I am pretty sure it can be hung on a slanted ceiling.

This is a tension pole, but it can also be mounted to the ceiling if preferred. Thank you for shopping with DGS Novelties!

I believe so. Mine hang on a flat ceiling, but the top has what looks like a ball and socket, so it should be able to hang from a slanted ceiling. Beautiful fixture!

Denise, Just don't install the pole. The ceiling base has screws to attach to the fan housing. Hope this helps.

I think you would need a flat ceiling or maybe you could shim it. I would check on the refund policy and see if you could make it work. Its worth it for the price.

Yes. it has the ability to be used on a slanted ceiling. However, it may have some limitations based on the slope of the ceiling. But, in general, yes.

It has been awhile since I installed this fan and do love it. I have mine on back porch and shows no weather wear. As far as mounting on a slant I would say no for what is in the box. The pole would need to be longer to keep the blades from hitting the ceiling, unless you are only talking about a minimum angle slant. The pole is about 10" or less if I remember correctly.

I have my 70" Sony LCD mounted on this mount. It is cast iron, with no ball joint. It does tilt up and down, but probably not enough to mount on an angled ceiling. (could always go through ceiling and make a flat mountable point in roof joists??)

I mounted mine in the ceiling in the sheet rock and it was 3/4 inch thick and had no problems.

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.

Yes, just not from any flimsy ceiling tiles! Make sure you at least have a wood backing up there. Also, make SURE the mount will fit before you buy!! I had to seriously alter mine to get it to line up w the mounts on the projector but now it's pretty good. Good thing Amazon has a great return policy if not though. I like the pivoting feature and ease to tighten that. Hope this helps!

I think as long as the ceiling is flat and level where the stand is going to be, it should not matter if it is sloped. I would not place the top of the stand on the bend of the slope.

It does not work mounted to the ceiling. In fact it would be dangerous and is only intended for use with the stand.

if the pole itself isn't damaged you could try stripping the rope off and apply new rope over it!I see it's stapled at the top and bottom but I've no clue if it's also glues onOR you could go out and buy some round fence poling cut it to size cover it with rope and drill in the holes for the screws to go into it!.......ya I've altered it some and will some more.

We did not hang it on a sloped ceiling. However, since this product works on a lift system, I am thinking that you might not be happy with the results. It would be akin to hanging window blinds (which work on the same type of lift system) on a slant. Although it might work OK when unit is empty, full of clothes the rods can get quite heavy and this might cause you a problem.

The pole has a standard extension pole screw end (the one I bought). But I use mine to string lights, a box of 100 string lights weigh about 2-3 pounds? Fully extended my pole has some serious trouble with this weight at the top of the pole at about a 20 degrees. The pole works great as long as the weight is at the top and the angle of the pole to the ground stay about 10-15 degrees. I can't imagine pulling heavy wet leaves off a 30 foot roof with this pole. The weight on the top with just a rake head would be difficult enough to maneuver. I hope this helps!
