Hi , What I do with my jump rope is put a mat under my feet if I am jumping on concrete. That solves it. If the concrete is smooth then no problem, but a mat is best. Hope this helps. MK

100% agree with the previous post. It was not designed for concrete installation, but that doesn't mean you could not adapt it for such a scenario. We had the same issue and changed our design so that the arbor would be off the edge of the concrete patio and over a new walkway which goes to our garden. The arbor, in our design, simply sits pushed into the lawn, but it is right up against the patio and we walk through the arbor to get to the garden.

I have mine on concrete, I'm sure it would make a mark on drywall. I would recommend having it pushing on a board or plate of some kind to increase tension without pushing through the ceiling.

Janis, I don't see why not. It comes with a bunch of extra bolts for mounting. You can mount it to a ceiling joist, it comes with anchors bolts, even comes with bolts for concrete ceilings.

Sorry, it was perfect for me, a short little runt (5'3"). Seems like elsewhere on the Internet or on Amazon others had commented about adding (splicing in) another length of pipe to bottom to raise the top section, but I'm not exactly sure how that was done. Need some mechanical engineer type person. The other possibility might be in building up the concrete on the outside and any internal PVC or steel pipe that the two pieces could fit on - but you'd need to reinforce from the outside. Instructions were like to sink 20" of the pole into the ground for stability (I forget the exact number, but it was a ways on down, to give it stability.). So if you made the concrete footing shallower relative to the ground level then you likely will need to have some sort of buttress on the outside, or extra bracing from the ends of the horizontal "T" pole down to the ground (and the appropriate safety "flags" or coloring or flower vines or something so that people don't hurt themselves tripping over the guy wires. Anyway, this is kinda off my head but sorry I don't have a really great solution other then just to research other places. The pole is just about right for me... the clothes line is starting to get a little droopy and catch on my top knot but I just need to tighten them to make it not tangle it up with my head. Otherwise it's working out just fine for me.

Sure you can! But you are limited on the thickness of the metal !!! I'll recommend 1/16 or less! Take you time!Absolutely no "concrete"

Not sure you can as it will affect the engineering. My son has it since he has the smaller room(which he chose) but he's okay with the way he has to maneuver. It would be a better option to use a futon mattress (with a thin board for more support) to make it lower to the ceiling. I bought him a regular mattress and he's a bit higher (he's 13.5 and almost 6 feet).

The answer using topcon screws is right on..If you cheat and use toggle bolts thru plaster only??? MAYBE only MAYBE.. The topcon,s into the concrete are 100%.Again if you can find the strips the wall board is hanging on ?? That would work if your screws don't push the strips off the concrete..IE screw length is critical..

Yes. You're only limitation should be the height of your ceiling. We have these strung over our son's high bar in the back yard. He pushes them to the side when he wants to practice on the bar and then he puts them back in the middle when he wants to use them for muscle ups ect. We have even had them out in the rain and sun (probably not advisable) since we got them and they still look new. really solidly built.

I would build a concrete form (wooden box ) to bring the concrete base for the pole up to the level you need. It would be a good idea to put in a few pieces of rebar to ensure strength.

I guess if you have some strong hooks screwed into studs. Sounds dangerous. How tall are the ceilings? How big is the room?

Sorry. Haven't put it together yet. I'm going to alter it so it can hang from the ceiling.

I am not allowed to hang things from ceiling in the facility where I teach, so did not address that issue when I got them, and they are locked up at the facility. I won't be back there until next week. My gut feeling is no. I think it is too heavy. Rather, you could put it on top of a big ladder, or a high shelve, etc. I love the fact that if the music is loud enough you can set it to sync with the beat of the music and the lights pulse the beat! Totally cool dude :) Hope this helps..if not let me know.

Just a note: The design might have changed because my ceiling is slightly lower than 8 foot (7.5) and to use it, I have to CUT a metal pole down to size. DO NOT BUY IF IT does not MATCH YOUR ROOM DIMENSIONS.

I bought it to put on my 3 rd floor balcony and found out it had to be in groin so that the metal stakes would hold it up! Still new! I don't know if I will ever use it! Bought the wrong thing!

Hey dan, I would buy a ceiling mounted pullup bar. This this bar is designed to be installed on the wall. I wouldn't install this bar on your ceiling because of the risk of injury.
