Is it safe to mount to the ceiling joist vs the wall? I am 6'2" and could use the extra head room.

I am 5'7", and need 6' 8" to 6' 10" ceiling. I don't jump super high, but high enough toclear the surface a couple inches. If your ceiling is truly 7' tall, your husband isgoing to be very close. Probably too close. 7'2" would probably be ok.

This is kind of a physics questions. Well it depends on the ceiling joist, 2x4, 2x6, etc and how far between the load bearing walls the tv will sit. I think you should be sure to use the right hardware to attach the mount, probably lag bolts. If in doubt contact a carpenter to look at your ceiling joist. Sorry there's a lot of info necessary to be sure.

I'm 6' 3" using the tranp in a room with a 9' ceiling. My most energetic sessions put my head within a foot of the ceiling. I do not raise my arms above shoulder level so have no concern about height. That is about all I can offer to help you decide. I use the tranp almost every day. I hope this has helped.

Yes, most likely you will. I am 5'2 and did not hit my head, however I believe my 5'10 brother was unable to use it. We put it in a basement with 7' ceilings as well

Mine is wall mounted, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't just as easily mount it from the ceiling.

I am 6'2" and it is fine for me. I would not put it in a room with less than an 8' ceiling for someone as tall as you are.

Our proform 1110 E is in our basement. The ceiling in 7' 6" and I am 6' 3" with my shoes on. I have to keep the incline at 0 in order to keep about 1" of clearance for my head. When the incline is all the way up (20), my head hits if I stand tall. If I lean forward (as you would if you were walking or running up hill), I'm ok, but it's a bit uncomfortable. If our basement ceilings were a full 8' tall I'd be fine. If you're under 6' tall, you'll probably be fine too. My wife is only 5' tall so it isn't an issue for her at all. :-D

You will have to mount it to a 2x4 or similar then mount it to ceiling. I would use 2x4 pices to extend Joist then mount strait o. Extentions. Hope this helps ya!

I believe its ment to hang from ceiling to be away from the wall by at least 2 feet. I would recommend more than 2 ft

What is the vertical dimension of the joist? Is it exposed? Any other joists in the vicinity? My joists were only 2" wide and too close together for the bar mounts. I got a 4x4 and put that over the top of the joists and then secured the mounts/bar to the 4x4.

That's the reason I bought it. Reading the instructions however, it seems that it might be a bit tricky especially if you have an existing hole. You would need to secure the housing to at least one ceiling joist.

You could flush mount it, but looking at mine (and using a measuring tape), it looks like the OVERALL drop from ceiling to the decorative finial on the bottom, would be about 18"-23", but the fan blades would only drop about 10-13" from the ceiling, so the "blade danger" wouldn't be much issue. I think you will be totally fine with 8' ceilings, but If you have anyone who is REALLY tall, like 6'4"+ in the home, maybe go with a lower profile fan without the heating element...

The footpad is about one foot off the floor at its lowest point so the ceiling should be at least an inch or two more than your height plus one foot. In your case a ceiling height of about 6' 9" is needed. My basement ceiling is 7' 6" and at 6' 1" my head is about 4-5 inches from the ceiling. I've never had a problem. If it's close just make sure your head won't be directly under a ceiling fixture or recessed light.

I believe it says nothing thicker over 6 inches or else there will be no railing height leftover to prevent falls. It also depends on the height of your ceiling.

I set mine at 6'1", but if you mount it on that wall per the instructions you can move it higher or lower.

Mine is not wall mounted but it should not be a problem. The mounting bracket will probably give you at least a couple of inches which should be plenty.
