I have high garage ceilings. would it be possible to mount this on some angle iron same manner as my garage door opener?

I think so. The angle iron structure will need some cross bracing to withstand the side loading forces exerted when the cord/hose is pulled at angle. Make sure the base of your structure would be of such length/size that you would be able to bolt into a ceiling rafters at each end, this is a must. The angle must be structural material, not the perforated kind. Also, a safety lanyard should be used as well. My thoughts are not to be taken as a recommendation nor as engineering data.

No. The thing is pretty heavy and must be bolted into the ceiling joist, wall stud or some such. The holes for bolt are built into the metal frame of the device and the angle iron would have nowhere to attach on the outside housing which is plastic. But the attached hose is fairly long so depending on how high those high ceilings are, you still may be okay by moving the little ball attachment further down the cord so it hangs down lower from the ceiling and is accessible when standing on the floor.

Only if you welded a piece of square tubing on it, it's built to mount flush. Wouldn't take much to adapt, good idea! I may just make one like that now.

I mounted mine in my garage without any problems. I noticed the width of the bracket also, so I just put a slight angle on my screws as mounted the bracket. Both screws hit the "meat" of the stud. I also used a magnetic stud finder to find my stud, drew a small line at the center of the stud, then centered the bracket on that line and screwed it in.

Yes, it will work. I have something similar and because of the bracing under the table I mounted it on the front as close to the end as I could. I only put the opener itself in when using it so it doesn't bother me too much having the mount there permanently. It's not difficult to mount. Being a woman I took the project on and installed it myself. I love having it. No regrets at all

Depends on how high your garage ceilings are. If they are 10 feet then clearance is not an issue. If they are 8 feet then the opener will hang low and COULD be a clearance issue with some higher profile vehicles.

I'm sorry but I can't confirm that, but the mounting hardware that comes with device is pretty easy to install. The electric box in ceiling should allow for any standard mounting bracket

I would mount it as shown in the picture. The housing is only about 1" down from the ceiling. It mounts the same as any other ceiling fixture.

We mounted it on hangers. Mounting on ceiling May need an electrician to do the task. Easier to mont on hangers . Anyway, let us know whether it can be done. So far have not heard anyone doing it.

It can be mounted on a ceiling..but, (always a "but") it only will tilt at a shallow angle. My solution for this problem is to Make a wood wedge at a steep angle and use this between the ceiling and the factory mount.. Remember that you will need batteries..I just unscrew the factory thumb screw. This allows easy access to the battery compartment.

if the surface is angled it would be ok has to be mounted on a flat surface I would not recommend putting washers or spacers to angle it.

No, Mount it above garage door with the adhesive strips and sides then use a staple gun or small screws about five a side evenly spaced. you will roll it up or down by hand. for the price and quality its fantastic. the family loves it. I the most, takes about fifteen to twenty minutes and your using it

Possibly, but I don't think the manufacturer intended it to be mounted that way. You'd need to contrive a way to keep it from falling out of the duct opening. As well, there usually is no electrical outlet nearby at the ceiling level. Better might be to get a different kind of unit, such as an In-line booster, with an air pressure switch to sense when the furnace fan comes on. Trickier to install, but more likely to do the job correctly.

It could work. The angle iron would have to be the right thickness and have holes of the right size and position. If you drilled those yourself it could be made to work. The bars that come with it are not flat but curve inwards, so the angle iron would have to go on the outside. That would make it more likely to snag on something when you roll it in tight places. In the worst case scenario, buy two of them and use the extra bars to extend the base. Good Luck, Greg

You would have to shim it, depends on how severe the angle is though too. I would suggest buying your own mounting hardware.

Absolutely. I tried for you and it worked. Mine id mounted sideways. good luck have fun!

The instructions say that you can, with a roof mounting kit. I'm sure you could rig something up yourself if you're handy, but out of the box, it is not going to just mount to a tilted roof. I put mine on the front face of the garage wall, not a tilted surface.

you would have to have some 90 degree angle brackets....or add a back to it....its possible.
