my deck is 8 ft. is it possible to attach it to 8 ft platform with reinforcement? it says the height is 56 inches, so how does it mount to 7 ft?

I don't recall seeing anything about 56". Maybe a typo on their part or referring to a 5 ft slide? I can tell you for sure the distance from the ground to where you sit to go down the slide has got to be 84". If I had to build it with 8 ft to work with I would just build like a sand box out of treated lumber at the bottom of the slide to raise up the ground level 12", fill it up with dirt. You might need to add one step from the "sandbox" to the ground if the child is too small to jump.

U bolt it down and build a platform at 7 foot u probably could put it on 8 foot with a platform at bottom and top

There are 2 options, the 5ft slide and the 7 foot slide. Make sure you buy the 7 foot high slide. I also have an 8 ft platform. Attach it and build a support base at the bottom and you are good to go.

I don't know why it says 56". Fits perfectly to 7 ft deck. If you build a platform to accommodate the other 12" it should work on your 8 ft deck

If its 8 feet tall, then yes, you will need an extension. If its 7 feet tall, no you should be fine....

It is not very tall. It could be set up anywhere, but, the long pins between the panels may fall though the deck slats unless yours are close together. You would have to secure it, the wind could also take it away. I bought it to place on my 1st story deck for privacy from the neighbors, it was too short for my purpose and the pins fell between my deck slats. You could definately do what others are saying, but, you will need to somehow secure it.

I, too, was not sure what you meant about the base. I attached the mounting block to the deck and then ran a treated 2X4 to the ground at an angle - to keep it out of the way. This seems to work well. I am building a frame around the base to fill with rubber mulch. Hope this helps.

I think the 8" is the outer rim of the speaker itself. I have mine mounted in the drywall ceiling, and the outer/exterior rim is closer to 9" overall. As for suspended ceiling tiles, I can't imagine the weight being an issue if the metal frame/grids are securely mounted. Without digging up the specs again, the magnet on the back of the speaker has a bit of weight to it, but I think you'll be fine.

I bought this last year and it is working well on a 5 ft platform. It is a steep dropping slide. The platform height won't effect the steepness of the slide. It will however effect the bottom drop off, it will be further off of the ground. At 5'8", I would consider the six foot version of this slide.

Craig, I can give you the sizes if it helps. It is made to stick in the ground, however it would depend on how you attach it to your deck. From top to bottom it is 48 inches. The part that goes into the ground is 8 inches. The distance from the long staff to the hook is 8 inches (sideways). The hook is 2 1/2 inches wide from curve to curve. The distance from where it would be the ground if you push it in (the upside down part "U") is 35 inches; the part that goes into the ground is 8 inches deep (long). All this would depend on how you installed it on your deck. It could be installed with small "U" bolts, just a thought. Hope this helps. SP Craig, I can give you the sizes if it helps.

On the Stokes website they say this - "The Clamp-On Deck Hook easily attaches to horizontal deck rails ranging in size from 3/4″ to 2″ thick...".So that's is "just" too small. You could probably just put a plywood shim in it.

The metal is 28 inches. The way I have it mounted height from the deck to the top of thegate is 30.5 inches.

The slide is 8' long and If I remember correctly the instructions for this slide said install height should be no higher than 54 inches high or it would be too steep. So if you could drop down with a lower deck off of the taller tree fort then it should work.

Yes you can mount it to a deck//but the plastic feet that comes with it for mounting are in my opinion too flimsey to hold the gazabo in a wind storm...so I have the feet screwed down ( screws not supplied ) but I also have it tied to my deck rails for security..for the PRICE it is a quality unity..not diaapointed at all...wind storm may change that but it could happen to any canvas structure...this is ment to be a seasonal unit not left out in winter..goes up easily....

I hung mine flush mount and it extends 18" down and an additional 10" for the longer chain. Use a yard stick and see how that distance will work for you. Mine is over my kitchen table. I hope this helps.

I have 7' ceilings on my front porch and I have mine hanging there. I chose to have the swivel bracket and the spring and can still sit with about 8" to the ground. I would prefer it a bit higher but wont give up the spring to do it. I love this thing and spend a lot of my summer in it. I take it camping and hang it in a tree nearby too. Next accessory for me will be the bracket that goes into my class II receiver.

Hi I haven´t mounted on one so I cannot state. In my opinion it depends on the thickness of the deck so it can hold the whole imbed for the poles

There is a bracket that screws into the deck or some flat surface on the deck. The surface must be about 24 in. long. It works very well.

No. My deck is about 54" and it fits perfect with the extensions. Any higher would have its angle off.
