Platinum Stages Permanent Spinning Poles

Yes Liz! I taped my measuring tape end to the ceiling and then used a level to make sure the tape was level and took an exact measurement. Feeling quite smug with my precicion I later proceeding to second guess myself. I have measured multiple times. Will probably measure once more before ordering. In my case the saying is "measure 18 times, cut once".
-
Lol ! 18 times.. I totally agree

PegasusAerialFitness… make that 42 times!
I took the plunge! 45mm Brass Single Piece 'Extreme One Piece Super Pole'. I can't wait to get the ceiling adaptor up and have my own single piece brass at home! For any of you with 2" joists, I was advised to rotate it like a diamond and secure two of the screws into the joist… just as you suggested Tarah!
Erica, thank you for your help and replies. Also… thank you PS for the 10% discount. It is really nice of you to extend that to this community.
So excited!!!
-
OOhh!:)) tell me what it's like. I thinking of adding that pole too. I've never been on a 45 or a brass.
-
You got it, will def let you know how it goes!!! I have never been on a 45 either. I have Chrome 50s. Wanted something totally different than what I have and then can add more poles as budget allows since the mount will accommodate different diamter/finishes.
Adding Brasso to my shopping list. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

I am thinking of getting the xtreme one piece brass but 2″(50mm)..you will love brass..or I love brass over chrome,haven’t tried ss yet or 1.75..also getting the ceiling adaptor for added security..please let us know how you like it…it will be a few weeks before I order,so I will be looking for your comments…but I can’t wait..and good to know u can switch out the diameters in same ceiling adaptor,altho it will be awhile before I can get 2 pole…gotta work on my first..lol…enjoy ur pole..I know you will…
-
can you switch between diameters or just finishes?
-
Both..you can switch between ss and brass and diameter with the ceiling mount…which is awesome…
-
@ tarah, ? Is the cover on the bottom of the pole smooth? I mean, do your legs/hands glide over it or do you have to stop ur move before the cover? I am looking @ this pole and was wondering if that gets in the way ..I wanted a one piece for the flow of the pole and didn’t know if that affected it any…I tend to slide all the way down and use the bottom with my hands for floor work and want the transition to look good and not get stuck above the cover..lol..not too sexy…
-
Thanks Erica!!! Very excited. I'll definitely updat when all is istalled. : )
Madisonsworld, yes the flexibility is awesome! Will let you know how it goes. Yay!
PegasusAerialFitness, yup… all PS diamter and finishes as long as they a certain type… all the extreme mutli piece poles will fit regardless of diamter or finish. I think their website mentioned a different version of their poles that would fit too. Starting with a 45 since people seem to love their 45s… been on a 50 so it will be neat to see the difference.
-
istalled?!? Installed! I bet you ladies knew exactly what I meant. : )
-
Oh..I am excited for you…I just measured my ceilings…same in the garage and bedroom and 6″ higher on the one level in bedroom,but I don’t think I will need to use that level..plus the pole has 6″ of adjustment….so I may be able to get the one piece..which is awesome cause I want real brass and its a good price..
-
Cool Madisonsworld! Having two rooms you could use it in is a plus! Even though garage might be too cold etc but if you want to get crazy with some moves you could have the room for it! Or just move the bedroom furniture into the garage and take over the bedroom as pole space! Its all about priorities right? ; )
I called PS last night and they told me to try and measure the floor as accurately as possible for the single piece. Even though there is that six inches of adjustment. I measured many times. If I get a pole that is too long and doesn't fit my room I'm going to be ordering a few hundred cases of kleenex to cry my eyes out in.
I saw the sale and was happy about that, also… do not forget about the coupon code, 10% off for Studio Veena members. That saved me money and I LOVE saving money.
I read that some people trip a little over the bases of the poles but have not read reviews specific to the adjuster covers.
-
Yeah..that sale is a bonus…I live in florida,so the cold isn’t too bad..the hot will be..but I can always leave the house door open and I have large floor fan…but I have no where else to put a pole..at all…..
-
@Madison – Re your question about the adjustor cover. It is plastic, and it is a tad wider than the pole itself, BUT you can ask platinum stages to have the pole be top loading and that thing won't even be an issue. That is what I plan on doing with mine. Although they told me with the 50mm's you only have to flip the poles over. With the 45mms you need a special adapter?? Just let them know.
-
Awesome!!!!! That is perfect because who really uses the top portion of the pole in any way like that…I am really stoked now…….
-
@madisonsworld – the sleeve at the bottom might get in your way. it's not very comfortable to slide over, you will def. feel it. i slide over it in some cases, like if i'm in a tuck hip hold, and it's fine. i've heard that the pole can be mounted either way (you can mount it so that the screw thread is up near the ceiling, usually without the sleeve, and then the bottom will just be all pole), but i have personally never tried that. i think it's something that you would just get used to, the only other thing is you can't use the sleeve to grip for a cartwheel mount or handspring (or maybe you could, but i avoid it). hope that helps 🙂
-
Exactly! that adustor sleeve is also hard to get on and off so my personal opinion is that top loading would be the better route. Installation will be more of a pain, but poling will be so much better!

PS brass pole up today thanks to ceiling fan being removed.
There is a part of the installation instructions I do not understand. I bought the one piece extreme super pole and in step 7 it says "Using tool provied, twist one ore more time by placing tool in the hole located at the bottom of the pole". Which tool? They tiny little hex key? What hole at the bottom? I had no idea what that meant and didn't see pictures showing that piece of the instructions.
Also… after I do the install and locking pin is secured when I test the pole by doing some grounded spins the top part of the pole rotates. It is not sliding… it rotates slightly. I removed the adjuster cover and the locking nuts hadn't appeared to move.
I am not sure if I need to complete the step I don't understand or if I need to apply more tension on the pole before securing the locking nuts. I don't feel secure with that happening so will need to call PS to see if I did the install correctly. Just wanted to see if any had similar experience with theirs.
Now… the pole and what I think of it. Its SEXY! Not sure how I can call a totally inanimate object sexy but it IS. It looks like the room was built for IT and it needs to be immediately ADMIRED.
The smaller diameter feels more natural on my grip and I had better upper body grip/strength with it. I am not used to the flexiness of brass and smaller diameter. This pole has more sway/give than what I am used to. It is BEAUTIFUL! So bright and shiny! Gorgeous.
I will update more with more time on it… great overall impression. Also one piece install…. a flippin dream! Leaving out the part I am misunderstanding.
I am going to install the ceiling adapter but that will wait a bit longer due to still hanging mirrors and installing dog runs… and hanging shelving. The ceiling fan hole would have been perfect but it was too close to the wall so I am going to patch the ceiling fan hole and put the mount about 8 inches back. Since more patching and projects and (going numb from exhaustion) on and on… will do that as a finishing touch.
I am at a point where in a few days will be rocking out with my pole. One more mirror to hang.
-
I never got a tool either, but i didn't really read the directions to install either. Just tighten it until it feels tight, but not TOO tight, then tighten the big nuts up to the pole. I did have that turnbing issue with the multi piece, but I associated wit with the fact that the pole was bowing from the gaps, so I couldn't get the pole tight to the ceiling. Try putting it top loading. I did and mine isn't doing that at all.

The tighten but dont overtighten confuses me. How do I know when is too tight? Woud the pole bow or would there be some other indication it was too tight?
Thanks SensualScimitar.. interesting that happened to you as well. I will look into flipping to top load it if I have issues with the adjuster cover. I like the look of the pole with the cover in place but we will see how it goes. There are no sharp edges on it. I did some slides over it and all was well. If it gets to where it is preventing moves… then I will flip the pole for sure.
Thanks Erica, I called and spoke with PS tech support, they told me to tighten it a few more rotations. I will tighten it some more and see how that goes.
-
Girls in Portland have told me that they have bowed their poles from overtightening. I think that it will keep tightening if it isn't tight enough. I though mine might have been too tight so I tried loosening the height adjuster then tightening the big nuts. The pole tried to tighten itself.
