I believe that nymphdancer has hers but I am not sure if she has it up yet. You may want to try emailing her through this site.
Thank you, I may do that.
Did you get to see a pic? Does anyone have one they can add to this thread?
Here is a pic I was able to get from xpole. I would still like to hear if anyone has used it and how it is working out. http://localhosthttp://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn304/yesca907/th_xxvaultedtg1.jpg
Thanks for posting that! Hmmm, the screws look mighty small and inefficient, no? I think I'll order one and try it out....although I may go buy heavier duty screws. I'd hate for them to work themselves lose and damage my ceiling drywall.
I'm really curious what the dimensions of that mount are. If we assume those are 1 inch screws then maybe the mount has a little over a 2 inch diameter. Standard US joist is 2in, I'm not sure about vaulted, so I'd be interested to know if all the screws make it to the joist. Also assuming a 1in screw with say a 1/4in thick mount + 1/4in drywall (sometimes 1/2in), it leaves you 1/2 to 1/4 inch left to grab into the wood. Considering when they hang 1/4in drywall they use 1in screws, I'd get some longer screws, at least 1.5in. If that mount didn't get all screws into the joist, I'd go even longer into the wood and get some heavy duty drywall mount screws, like EZ-Anchor.
Here's my vaulted ceiling piece from Platinum Stages, if it helps... My boyfriend ended up putting the large chunk of wood between the pole and the ceiling for a bit of extra support... 🙊
I have vaulted ceilings in my mobile home. I cut a round peice of plywood that my dome covers and prevents slippage. For the vaulted ceiling I added two wedges under that and the whole thing screws into studs in my ceiling. If the pole ever does come loose that sucker's not gonna fall down!
SimpllySweet - do you have any pics you could share?
I have one of them exposed in my workout room. I'll snap some pics while I'm over there today for you.
