2. Can I install on a drywalled ceiling (into a wood beam)? Trying to hang a suspension trainer.

Yes you can. This is how I installed mine. Of course just the drywall will not not work. But the beams behind it will do just fine. Just as it was intended. i weigh 215 lbs and this bracket is more then enough to do the job..

Possibly. You could try to only use the "wall portion" of the hangars. No guarantee. The system is designed for wood frames and for that it is the Best!

I would be inclined to say no. The ceiling attachment pieces slip over the vertical support post and have a small screw that tightens against the post once installed, and, in my opinion, would have no way to flex to an angle.

Ana, The directions that came with the shade indicated that you can switch the side of the handle from one side to another as well as switching the brackets to mount to a ceiling. The only concern I would have in mounting it on a ceiling would be if you were only anchoring to drywall as I do not think that would be a good idea. The weight and motion of the shade might pull out of drywall unless you used some lag type anchors or get lucky and can mount into studs if the width works out. The two I already bought are mounted into wood and are very secure. I ordered two more which I am expecting this week and those will go into wood as well. If you are securing to wood there should be no problems installing these. I hope this helps.

Yes, I currently use the WOSS Trainer with an eye bolt screwed into my garage ceiling joist. It works great.

Yes you can . you may want to use a lower speed so you don't damage the Dry wall just go slow and you don't punch holes in the wall you may want to look for the studs to get a stronger holding of the fixtures

I would not reccomend installing on drywall unless there is some form timber or other strengthening support behind it. The weight of the installed items if too heavy say 10lb or so may be too much for the plaster board and may pull the attaching point (screws) out. Having said that it depends on what is used to attach the mount as there are some screw in plugs and spring loaded butterfly type nuts etc that could manage the weight. Some amplifiers are fairly heavy, but set top boxes are light and plaster board could hold that with appropriate plugs.

Certainly , you may have to extend the length of the support chains that are supplied with the light. You may have to go to a lighting, hardware or big box store and get much longer suspension chains to offset the additional height of an angled or cathedral type ceiling.

It can be mounted to a ceiling but due to weight, it should be bolted to a wood beam.

I could use it but in mine as I have a single sheet of drywall for a ceiling. If you have a double layer, plaster, or other thick type ceiling It wouldn't secure without modification to the box.

For ceiling mount, the TRX manual (not the mount instructions, but the manual that came with the trainer) suggests the suspension anchor be 6' off the ground, so you should be okay. Once the mount is installed, you would wrap the suspension anchor strap through the mount loops until the bottom loop is 6' above ground. You would then clip the trainer into the suspension anchor bottom loop. The foot cradles should be 3" off the ground. Hope this helps. The mount is solid. Love it!

We mounted ours with some large eye hooks that we screwed into a carrying beam in our kitchen ceiling. The hooks do not go directly into the ceiling... you will needs something to hang them off of.

This coming from an engineer. "Don't even think about mounting it on drywall." Mount it to a stud. If the studs are not where you like then mount a plywood plate between two studs and hang your Habitat on the plate.

Hi,Yes you should only install into a beam, vertical or horizontal. Use the bolts/screws that came with the mount anything else may not work and you could not only injury yourself but cause damage to your house. Once yuou have it up do a couple exercises with moderate weight on untill you get comfortable. I installed in mine into a horizontal beam in garage. Hope this helps.

Yes, we installed ours in a drywall ceiling. My husband said if you don't screw it into a joist then you should use an anchor type screw to hold it securely.

I guess you could. It would be overkill but doable. Note that is can only get about 12-15" close to the ceiling. If you are going to place expensive equipment on it, make sure you hit the ceiling beams with this foot screws. You could use expanded anchor but make sure they are for the ceiling as standard wall anchors won't support a vertical load. You will want to place a board of some sort between the two brackets like a prefinished piece of white shelving. If you only want to mount the receiver, use long white wire ties.

You got lot of answers here, some of them pretty good. All I can add to the discussion is: If you have high ceiling that pushes the installation to the outer edge of (alleged) capacity.... forget it... it will not be stable even with screws. Old houses with high ceilings may have mortar instead of wooden beams and sheet-rock... in that case answer is the same - forget it. Otherwise I agree, a tension supplied by adjusting the pole and some care in how you push on it when you use it (MOSTLY DOWN) makes it practical, ingenious workable solution.
