I'm looking to put this on a bartop, is that possible? The bar will be within a small Inn and will get plenty of use. Thanks!

Yes --you could but it has a very high sheen -glass like in a short period of time it would show scratches pretty bad. There is epoxy table top finishes that are a two part system that have a lot hard and more durable finish for long term. I hope this helps --I have worked with wood finishes for many years and this information has come from experiences some pain staking.

You could, but it will not be a thick top coat bar finish like an epoxy. I make my own Salad Bowl Finish by purchasing General Finishes "Arm-R-Seal" and thinning it out with 50/50 ratio with mineral spirits. It is the same thing as General Finishes Salad Bowl Finish for about 1/2 the price.

I don't think that this product would be ideal for your bartop. I would recommend a more durable finish because of the high use. This product will not readily build the protective finish you need. If you are looking for a natural look and feel it may work OK, but will likely need reapplication often.

I would think it would work well. I put it on the butcher block counter tops I made for my kitchen. These countertops also see a lot of use (Grandma baking and teaching cooking to all our Grandkids, nieces, Great nieces, etc.). It holds up very well and looks good doing it.

Yes, that is where I have mine mounted. I guess it depends on the bull bar.

I would agree with the other comments. This is not the purpose I bought it for. My concern would be wet hands. Bar to me is slick.

Ooooo!!! I like your bike!!! I have what I believe to be a very common setup. I think my bar is 1". The unit fits my bar but the bike shop took it off when I took it in for servicing and I havent bothered to put it back on. Have just ordered more comfortable grips so the cruise probably wont be missed.

For the greatest safety I would try to mount the bar so you can install a support bolt thru the bottom 2X3 and into the I support itself. You will probably have to purchase longer mounting hardware which is recommended anyway. Hopefully the bar will line up with the joist perfect so you can drill into the I support on both ends. OR, you could install a let's say 2X6 across the I-Beams (from I-beam to I-beam) and mount the bar to that with carriage bolting. Hope that helps ;)

Yes you can but, you have to be careful. The plastic slot you put the bar in is very cheap. It will crack. I cracked 3 trays putting it together. I dont like these trays.

I would love to help you, but I was not able to extend mine fully. It is not very sturdy and if you attempt to fully extend it the weight of the light mount alone will BEND the bar.I used it once and had to modify it for other things as it did not really meet my expectations. If you are using it for babies, and newborn shots, small subjects and other closer work, perhaps... but not for adults and other full sized subjects.

It would fit but be very tight, I would angle the screws inward or put a steel plate on first to make the mount 1 inch bigger then mount it to the plate. It's light enough so angling the screws should do it. Personally I mounted fabric to mine since I didn't want any light at all coming through. Blinding the bartender.

I love this towel bar!!! It extends 5" from the wall. I have the 5" bar on top, I think it could be turned eitherway. Saw the exact at friends house and started looking! Found at a home improvement store, butwas more expensive. Hope it works in your space. Really looks sharp! Not the same basic single barsthat most people have. Good Luck!

Bar is predrilled so you would have drill a hole for the bolt that connects the bar to the bracket. Also need to make sure you mount the bracket to stud or rafter. 45 in doesn't sound like standard spacing. Good luck.

I agree with Doug T., but it looks like it should work just fine. The rack has several choices for peg placements so you should be able to find the right height for the bar when you are laying on the bench.

Hi Tamara Ann, my bar was about an inch or half inch too long and I had to trim off the end a bit. The bar I have, had to fit into a 19 1/2" space. This was the only bar I found that worked for me. Hope this info helps you. good luck. Tommy.

Yes, and if you haven't already purchased it, don't bother. It's flimsy, bends when grabbing a paper towel, and can only be mounted in one position. The back side of the bar is hollow. I ended up trashing it and buying a different one. Hope this helps.

Technically there is no reason you couldn't I guess - the bar is a different piece. However finding suitable metal, tapping new holes, etc might make it more trouble than it is worth. I had search for a jig for a smaller slotted saw and eventually decided on a bigger saw. The only other option is to make a jig using many of the available patterns online. Might not be the answer you were looking for, but hope it helps. : )

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.

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.

Yes you can. The bar is set to the base with two machine screws. As this is a very critical part, its squareness is key. So get it within a couple mils. Good luck.
