I have two questions, what is the maximum length for the the supports, and also do you think this could be hung from a drop ceiling?

I believe the support rods are approx. 14" - 18" ... we have this at a summer cottage, so cannot just go measure for you. -- As for using on a drop ceiling, don't think that would be the best plan. there are brackets for the support rods that have to be screwed into the ceiling, and most drop ceiling material I am familiar with would seem strong enough for the long term weight or the stress of the movement of the shower curtain over time. -- It is a great system for a small space, and was very easy to cut and bend to fit the dimensions we needed.

Like 15" inch and if you hung them from the panel the weight of the curtain may ripped it but if you put a rod trhru a support beam may work

I would definitely NOT hang this from a drop ceiling. You are going to be pulling on this thing every which way and if you pull hard enough, you could pull it right through a drop ceiling. Sheetrock will have enough structural integrity if you use the right anchors, but I would say definitely no to a drop ceiling. Regarding the length for the hangers, I'm not sure exactly, but I think it's about 2'.

There is a hanger already mounted on the back. I haven't hung mine yet so I don't know what kind of weight it supports.

I hung mine from the ceiling, which was not that difficult. I'm not sure if that would work since the top is not adjustable.

Good question. We are out of town for a while so I wouldn't want to give you the incorrect answer. I do THINK you could hang it from a sloped ceiling because it has a couple of pivot points. Perhaps you could question the distributor. Hope this helps a little.

Although it does not have drop-down legs to support the extensions, the supports are 1 1/4" square tubing, (looks like .080 ish wall thickness). I am sure they will bow down if you put something heavy on them as there are no drop-legs, but should be pretty resistant to permanent bending. I cut a lot of 2x6 on them without any issue. I wouldn't extend them all the way out and then have 10 feet of lumber hanging off though. Lots of leverage will break anything. Buy a Lowes 339863 support stand if you want something additional. It it the best bang for the buck I have seen and you will use it all over your shop.

I wouldn't I recently hung them on a ceiling for a customer. They look great but they do sag. I don't think you can trust the base supporting the weight if you put them on a wall. I would put them on the ceiling where they are designed to go, or if that is not an option find something different there are tons of options.

Thank you for the question. It all depends on the quality of the tiles themselves. Some drop-ceiling tiles are cheaper and thinner than others, and those would not be able to support this recessed light. However if the tiles are thick and high quality, you won't need additional support. Alan Globe Electric

No you have to buy a certain rod for height if you want a certain drop from ceiling . The rod that comes with it hangs about 6 inches .

Why would you want this so high? Thinking of hanging lights or what? You would have to modify it by buying a smaller size and use the pole from it inside of this larger one and use a pin to secure it when at a desirable height. Or there are other more expensive stands that I know can adjust 1 0r 2 feet taller than this one.Hope this was helpful.

Thank you for you inquiry. As to how much weight can be hung, you may refer directly to the manufacturer for a more precise information. Please visit them at www.hiattmfg.com.-Bright Solutions Shopping Network, LLC

I use a sturdy support beam in my basement. I'm willing to bet there's ceiling mounts you can get in the event you don't have a beam strong enough

The weight restriction would be better answered by your ceiling or mounting surface. Mine is holding 3 12' aluminum conduit pipes with 10' x 20' vinyl backdrops. I don't have any problems at all with the plastic chains. If yours are breaking every time you use them, the you need to lighten the resistance clamp on the left side.This product is worth the money and will support whatever you through at it.

I don't think it will work. The hanging bar is about three inches and it has two hooks on the back side. Ifthe rod isn't out far enough there would be a space problem .ii can se other problems might arise with stability.

Great question The ceiling support is roughly 30" (inches) long. Make sure you cut it the correct length. Measure twice and cut Once.

Mine is hanging at 12'6" / 150". Longer is ok because you can use a piece of rope or chain as an extender. More than a few inches shorter would in my opinion cause an unacceptable amount of sag.

I bought mine just about the same time as Gregory R, and got only two 2' flimsy chains with S-hooks on each end. No possibility of hanging as the picture shows unless only 1 foot from the ceiling. There are three attachment holes on each end of the top of the fixture, two obviously intended for hanging as shown, and the other for hanging with only a single chain.
