My patio cover slopes down slightly. How do I do a ceiling mount on the side that slopes to make it level?

I'm not sure how you mean slow diagonal or vertical mine slopes too and I just added a weight in the bottom of the shade and it holds it fairly tight

I think its designed more for a horizontal or slight slope than a vertical mount. Try some chimney strap mounts.my .02, good luck.

It would need a wall mount with a swivel ball for the light to hang straight down. Personally, I am so pleased with these lights that I would go to a hardware or lighting store and try to find a swivel base if I needed to hang them on a sloped ceiling. Good Luck!

It swivels to the side not up. I have a low ceiling and it works perfectly.

Hi Rebecca.....it comes straight down. I think it will actually be stronger as a ceiling mount. Is a little weak when wall mounted (even though we did anchor it). Looks great though. P

definitely; the plate that attaches to the ceiling has a "ball and socket" joint, like your hips, and that allows the pendant to hang straight down while the plate is sloped.

I am looking at my fan right now. It is obvious that if it were mounted on a sloping ceiling that sloped more than a tiny amount- say 5 degrees, the fan blades would hit the ceiling. You could, of course, mount it on a rod that dropped from the ceiling, but the rod would likely sway as the blades of the fan start to spin. Thus, you would have to brace the rod somehow, but doing so would ruin the aesthetics of the fan. The only solution I can think of would be to have a carpenter install a beam near the apex of the roof- kind of like a tie rod-- and mount your fan to that.

Yes! I have mine hung on a sloped vaulted ceiling & it looks great. The wires/cords it hangs from are adjustable so it's rather simple to make it level no matter what ceiling type you have.

The mount will swivel side-to-side, in addition to swinging-up. (I have one of these units installed)

Hello! The fan can take up to a 29 degree slope. After that, you will need a http://www.amazon.com/MinkaAire-A245-WH-Sloped-Ceiling-Adaptor/dp/B001CADSVA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397319722&sr=8-2&keywords=A245-WH If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know!

No. Unfortunately you cannot adjust that, or the direction. I have the same issue and have to strategize when I do my back yard patio (I direct it at my house and then go back and direct that to the side of my house). I am trying to make some sort of "shield" out of hard rubber or plastic I can bolt to mine to modify it to direct the snow. The fact it only shoots straight up is the only big flaw with the unit I have encountered.

I mounted mine vertically so I could angle them the way I need in my backyard. If mounted horizontally there is no Sid to aside movement .

I think as long as the ceiling is flat and level where the stand is going to be, it should not matter if it is sloped. I would not place the top of the stand on the bend of the slope.

I do not know about that. Ours is not a sloped ceiling. The lights from the base should fall on the crystal to make them sparkle. If you slant the base, the lights will not fall on the crystals... based on the laws of gravity :)

We set ours up on a paver patio - but patios are (or should be) naturally sloped away from the house. The result is it's not level as the water level on one side is lower (near the house). We set it up on several indoor/outdoor "carpets" and it works fine. Next time, I'd like to level the area out a bit with sand, although that sounds like a lot more work.

Doubt if there is a way. Might help if you build a wooden porch outside? 2 sides and an angled roof. I am going to do this

It does not fit a sloped ceiling since the "ball" fitting is inside the upper housing. You can try mounting on a sloped ceiling but the upper housing that covers the electrical connections is set screwed to the extension rod and the whole assembly swings. I hope the answer was clear.
