can the bar be shortened?

We did cut one of these to fit the size we wanted. The outside finish broke off a little unevenly when cut which wasn't noticeable when assembled, but there may be some risk of the finish damaging more extensively.

It's a fairly soft wood, with a rotary saw it would be no problem. The mounts can be spaced any distance to hold the bar, as long as the diameter is the same and the end is flat.

There are indents in the steel legs, that yes, I believe it could be shortened. I just love this shelf.

No, unfortunately the bar that goes accross the bottom makes that impossible. I don't know if the bar can be safely removed? It dosn't look like it.-Another Home Health OT

Do not kow.My bar is 4 inches around. Maybe you might need a different model.

Yes, they are free to adjust anywhere along the bar's length. Pay attention to the vertical clearance requirement!

Yes you could shorten the legs by cutting a few inches off either top or bottom.

You could always bolt longer bars to the current ones. Make your own bars out of wood or metal. In most cases still cheaper than the Thule version.

The rod expands from anywhere between 41" and 72" by twisting. Just twist it and it slowly lengthens to the width you want. I'm not sure how easy it is to shorten it once it's been "opened", but it can be shortened a little bit in order to make it fit your space should you go too far. The circumference of the bar is approximately 3 1/4"; the end cap is about 4 1/2" around and the diameter of the bar (from which you would hang things) is approximately 1" to 1 1/4".

The two ends simply slide over the center bar so, sure, it could be cut to any length. Just be careful to make a smooth cut so the end will still fit over easily. And don't cut it too short. This has worked great for our camper!

A standard bar you buy at the store is not long enough. You need to get an olympic style bar.

You can but it takes some adjustments and you should have someone strong to help. You have to unscrew one of the screws a one end and angel the bar to make I fit. I hope this helps you.

Yes, the bar is removable. There is a pin that allows you to add/remove the bar.

Yes. 26" is the maximum, but any length shorter is fine. No need to cut bar as the wall attachments secure to the bar with a set screw. Good product!

The 6 foot bar is a little short. The plates will not be outside the rack. I modified my 6 foot standard bar by wrapping duct tape around the bar to stop the plates from moving on the bar.

No, it is not adjustable. However, if you are inclined, you can drill holes and move the bar where you want it. The unit is sturdy enough to handle drilling and some alterations.

These bars need to be screwed to the wall. They can be "chained" together, though. Not sure if that answers your question, as it appears to be truncated.

Yes. The short bars are 16" and the long bars are 23-3/8". Thank you for your inquiry.
