Hello! I did a forum search but could not find much on this... I am interested in the XPole Permanent Mount... does anyone use this and have any pictures of it or feedback on it? I am wondering if it is more secure than the XPole dome. Due to my floors I am unable to secure a permanent floor mount but I would be able to do a ceiling mount. Thank you, JeHanne

Yup, I have it (due to my vaulted ceilings) but you can certainly use it on flat ceilings as well. Search here for Xpole vaulted ceiling bracket and you'll find some threads w/ pics in it. I've used the dome but now use the permanent mount. It works wonderfully but installation is definately more involved....for example, the bracket has 6 holes round the edges for the screws to secure the mount to your ceiling...but only the 2 top and bottom screws would line up with a joist. So I had to get in my attic and secure additional supports to the side of my joist for the other screws to mount into....

Thank you UTpoler! I had not even considered the width of the joist being less than the diameter of the pole. I better check that out first. Appreciate the reply!

I have it as well! I really like it and think it's easier to put up and down with the permanent mount!
JeHanne ·
Thank you Veena for the reply! I was wondering if the ceiling mount made the Xpole less likely to fall. I know that it would have to be installed per manufacturer's instructions etc etc... just wondering what opinions on that were. I also like the look, seems very sleek. Can anyone that has one snap a shot of the pole where it connects to the ceiling? I have not seen one mounted, only what is on the XPole accessories page. Thanks!

I have a pic but can't figure out how to attach it to the thread???? 😕
JeHanne ·
Hi UTpoler, Hmmm.... it does not look like you can attach a pic. I guess you can post links to pics that are added to things like photobucket etc. I'm sorry!!! I did not know the forum did not allow attachments.
UTpoler ·
Bummer. That's kinda lame. Ok, here ya go. :) http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s205/shayshortcakes/IMAG0128.jpg

BTW - this obviously is a vaulted ceiling, but the part that attaches to the pole swivels so you can use it on a flat ceiling too.

WOW!!! That looks absolutely gorgeous! I love how it has such a clean look. Thank you so much for posting this picture. I am going to measure the size of my joists to see what I have to work with. Thanks!!! 😁
It does look really nice. I too have been searching for reviews of the ceiling mount. My question is does it still spin for the x-pert pole?
JeHanne ·
You can still set spin on the Xpert Xpole when you have a ceiling mount. The ceiling mount replaces the Dome... so beautiful. I want one!
Hii I just got an x pole permanent mount (finally) but it doesn't come with screws does anyone have one? If so what screws did they use? Also I need opinions I live in an apartment that has a dropped section of the ceiling that looks like a beam as it runs across the middle of the whole length of the apartment and its about a foot wide. I've knocked on it and it doesn't sound hollow, so is it possible that the whole thing is solid? Its a fairly old building so made of strong stuff haha
I have the permanent mount installed on a vaulted ceiling. Mine came with screws but zero instructions. So when I realized the screws were way to spaced out to fit on a regular stud I emailed X-Pole and they told me to just install it with the middle screw on each side screwed into the stud. So that is how mine is and I haven't had any problems yet.
Mines had to go through the plaster board, which is about 2 inches thick, I've been on the pole since and no problems has anyone else had to do this?
I'm moving back to my house in Greenville next month. I have vaulted ceilings and have the xpert xpole. I will need to get a ceiling mount, since I have the dome right now. So will I still be able to switch from static to spin? Where can 8 purchase the ceiling mount from? I've been trying to get online with xpole, but I'm having issues getting connected.
Veena ·
You can still switch between static and spin because the change is done within the base of the pole

I don't have one and I do need one but if you get the vaulted ceiling mount for the expert then yes your pole will still spin/sstatic, I have looked on xpole website for this and they do have it for 89.99 dollars plus shipping, hope this helps.
Sweet thank you Veena.
Skyember that helps alot. Thank you.
Tanks everyone this discussion helped a lot.i just moved into a new house. With high vaulted ceilings and couldn't decide whether to put my pole in the porch outside and make it into a Sealed in room with ac.. Mirrors and a wood flooring like a little studio..or inside in an area I didn't want to take up but the ceiling are high. I decided to go with high ceilings and need a Mount for it. I wasn't sure if the ceilings were too high or not. I notice I have like three extra pieces for.my pole I'm hoping that's enough height to set it all up when I get the mount.
