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

The one I bought has HD (3/8") lag-type hooks that thread into a ceiling joist. Make CERTAIN that these are very secure, as they will be holding a lot of weight. I added gorilla glue to the hole before threading the hook into it. I am constantly checking these to make sure I don't have any problems. None so far - 3 years.

The bracket needs a wise fixture. Just like anything you are hanging from the ceiling, you want to make sure it is secure. My beams run parallel with my garage door and so I put a small piece if 2x4 across two beams and attaches it to that. Works like a charm.

I agree with the previous poster. You need a ceiling mount that will cradle it. It will not attach directly to many of the ceiling mounts on the market that bolt in.

It screws into the ceiling. I installed mine a couple months ago, and it works great.

No, it is not a tension rod. It does require drilling, so you will not want to purchase this particular rod.

If your ceiling is really high it should of came with one extra piece. If it's not when u set it up the is a black piece attached to one of the pole part that u turn adjust it to the ceiling

It does. Very tight tension pole. Have used one in my bathtub for years and stays in place. Bought another recently for shower stall and the tension pole is the top portion and the whole unit bows a little away from wall. Still firmly in place and don't have worries of it falling but it is not flush with wall

It is specifically designed for a drop in ceiling. To mount it otherwise would require some substantial cobbling.

It is a tension rod with ceiling mounts - floor mounts would be a trip hazard.

It will stay in place.... there is an adjustable screw to tighten the tension if needed

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

The basic design is set up for a wall mount. There is no electrical reason that it would not work in the ceiling. My only concern is the mechanical mounting of it.

Hi Rebecca.....it comes straight down. I think it will actually be stronger as a ceiling mount. Is a little weak when wall mounted (even though we did anchor it). Looks great though. P

The tension on spring clips are strong. You could use some type of a shim (i.e. wood shim) in between the spring and ceiling material if you're concerned with damaging. But I think the fiberglass ceiling material should be strong enough.The tension on the clips on the smaller diameter lights aren't that strong.

Screw it into the ceiling that is what I did and it works perfectly! If you stick it with adhesive it can fall & break I think :)

I rent too. It's a really good quality pole, as long as you place it where your ceiling beam is there shouldn't be a problem. Mine hasn't caused any damage and I've taken it off a few times.
