I bought this to use in our basement but the materials say that you need a 24 ft. ht. clearance--that is really high! Can you use it in a 8' basement?

Depends on the age of your child and how high he can jump. In reality, no one needs a 24ft clearance, that is crazy. Our son is 4 years old and we keep this in our basement which is about an 8' or 8.5 foot ceiling. He doesn't come close to hitting the ceiling and jumps on it pretty hard...

how tall are your kids? that is crazy. I doubt they can jump that high and hit there heads. not even an adult could. well maybe but they would be over the weight limit and break it!!

Probably, it would depend on the height and weight of the user and the ability they have to control their bounce. As the product is recommended for children with adult supervision, and if there are no overhead obstructions in the way , common sense makes me think it would be safe. Of course no flips, somersaults etc as this item was not designed for those types of activities.

We use it in our living room with standard height ceilings...I would say it depends on how tall the individual is and how aggressive they are in jumping. But it works great for our nearly 3 year old this winter.

Honestly I can't say for sure but I bought this for my 3 year old son and he doesn't go higher than a couple of feet at this age; and it is presently in my living room with a 12f high ceiling. I think it depends on the age and height of your kid to average how high he 's going to go safely. But 24 ft sounds to much.

Based on my experience, it should work great for your location. I use mine in a 700 sf basement with 2 small Sony speakers and it will flat blow you out if you crank it up.

No, I don't think so. There are multiple reasons why .... in general it is built for "basement" applications.

Depending on how high you suck out the water, but should be powerful enough fron a regular basement to the outside. It does not matter how far the distance. Remember what matters is HOW HIGH not how far.

Yes, I think you should be able to. You need a solid post to fasten to. We use it in our basement. I measured our area to determine what length to get.

I actually asked the same question to a home inspector. He said it is not recommended to put it in the basement but can be done. Reasons being that if it or any of the connections should leak you would be blowing all the radon into the house creating an even higher level.

I have 7'5" of ceiling height in my basement and it just fits, but we had to modify how we assembled the top of the rack. It just needed to be stood up before the top bar (angled with pull-up bar attached) was installed. We even installed the optional lat pull-down attachment and it all fits nicely in the basement. One note would be that you need about another 8-10" (about 8'+) for pull-ups. We were able to position the rack so that we do pull-ups with our heads between the floor joists, giving us an extra 10" of clearance. It's a great set-up for a home gym.

This is a large fan, better suited for a high ceiling. I wouldn't use it with an 8 ft ceiling.

Hi Ed,Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 92.5" in order to meet building codes, so you should be fine because 8.5 feet measures 102". Also, this fan cannot be flush mounted, but again, you should be just fine with your ceiling height.

You are going to be really squeezing it. I don't think it will work for you, as I am 6,1 and I must be at least 7 feet high when I am on the up and up part of the dip.I am so sorry, you can't use it in basement, maybe somewhere else, because it is definitely worth it.Good luck friend.

I use mine with a normal 8 foot ceiling and have no problem. I'm 6'5" for reference.

Not very good for this type of application. It is better for a room that is well insulated. 16 X 23 may be too much area in a basement for this type of heater.

In the "before you buy" section, it says that it only boosts the signal horizontally, not vertically, so it may not help with the basement signal much! Let us know if it does, though!

7 ft is tight, but it might. The issue is how high the kid(s) jump. We used it in our old basement but it was 8ft.

Yes! We have our unit through the block basement wall and used a 2 x 6 as a frame to let unit sit on! We are very happy with our unit!

Not without some modifications. It works great for us and we have 8 ft. ceilings.

Joist spacing needs to be 16" on center. Like others have said, you need at least an 8' ceiling for this.
