question on ceiling and light fixture
Hi ladies, my new apartment has vaulted ceilings so either I put the pole in my bedroom or the dining room. I like the dining area because it has a large mirror but there is a light fixture right in the middle. I want to put the pole close to the center as well but I am not sure if that will affect anything. Should I worry if its on the joists? or will there be a problem if its about a foot near the fixture? Help :[

The pole HAS TO BE ON A JOIST. If the fixture is in your way you could take it down and put a cap on it. The electrical cap/covers are really cheap…they just cover up the hole for you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Having a lighting fixture or anything for that matter, too close to your pole is not safe and you will hit it at some point. Hope you find a good spot. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

thank you for your reply. the fixture is hanging on a chain and can be hung on a different spot. as long as its on the joists its okay?? I just keep thinking im going to cave in that area for some reason https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

All poles, even permanent ones need to be placed directly under the joist. As long as you have a flat spot, joist/stud and don’t over tighten if its an X pole you’ll be fine. If you have an X pole and need help setting it up you can check out the video I made.
