Stupid question...I know...but if you were to use this in your garage; how do you attach to your garage ceiling? Do you need to install a heavy duty hook and then hook this in?

Yes. Or you can drill through the roof and run a heavy duty like to a cross support beam

I would try to identify a rafter and screw in a hook. So, yes you need to install a heavy duty hook and then hook this into it. Remember you will be supporting the weight of a deer from it. Not to mention you will be pulling on the deer during the skinning and gutting process.

That is one option. Or you could just wrap a heavy piece of rope around the rafters and tie it with a square knot and secure it that way.

"Stupid question...I know." - Seriously? If you know its a stupid Q then why make yourself look like a Moron on a public forum? - YES IT'S INCREDIBLY AND UNBELIEVABLY STUPID. You could not look like a bigger IDIOT if you tried.

I use a large hook lag bolt just find a ceiling joist and screw it in. Has worked well for me and held up to any deer hung from it.

We attached these to hooks we already had screwed into the ceiling. All we had to do was hang it by a link that was lower in the chain. Doesn't really change the appearance and kept it from hitting the ground.

I didn't do this but I don't see why you couldn't. I used some small nails and put on my wall but it should work on your ceiling as well.

It is anchored to the ceiling. You have to already have a "hanging lamp" fixture on the ceiling to make this work...and even then...we had to make some modifications. But...it is beautiful!

Okay J - Thank you so much! I am a visual learner and I had no idea how those metal things attach/clip, whatever and if it is hanging from the ceiling already, I guess it's not for support, but just to: Raise The Curtain if you will. Got it. Thanks

No, it's just for ceiling. If you did wall mount it you would have to get really creative at a hardware store about how to hang it.

There is no "mounting" hardware with this item. You could throw it over a beam in the garage or over a solid-closing door, but it is not designed to mount to a side wall although I suppose you could rig something up. It would have to be a pretty sturdy anchor and the wall stud, I believe, would require additional anchoring as well since the pressure applied to that anchor would be quite great. IMO, I wouldn't try to install it on a wall stud.

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 have mine mounted to a finished ceiling. When installing you will just need a stud finder to make sure you line up the bracket with a ceiling joist.

You will have to drill a hole in the ceiling to attach the hook. The lamp comes with a molly screw. When you screw it into the ceiling, it has "wings" which expand inside the hole to hold it firmly in place.

I agree with David A. Senechal. Your best bet is to use drywall tape, assuming your ceiling is of drywall construction.

Wish I could help you, but.... I bought it a long time ago & I never had a chance to put it up. So it's sits in my garage until it's a priority.However.... I was thinking of posting it on a wood post. Like an outside lamp light post. Not to sure how yet. But eventually... I will get around to putting it up. Sorry not much help!

Drilled a pilot hole through the thick ends- then screwed them in. For the ceiling- there is quite a bit of weight- so it might be difficult- the middle slats would be hard to screw though without breaking them.

You'll have to buy a wall/ceiling mounting bracket. It's only a few extra dollars and can be found on amazon. I purchased a frame with my order.

Yes, you can mount it by installing two screws then push and twist this unit over them --------------- or ------------use double-sided foam tape to hold it to the ceiling. It is pretty light!

Not sure how you would anchor it to your ceiling. It comes with door anchors that may be useful for that. I throw it around a chin-up bar installed in a doorway which kind of mimics lat pull downs. This is an amazingly useful set and the number of excercises you can do with it are pretty limitless.

A ceiling is an overhead floor. I would use a small floor nailer to attach to the joists. You can get them at any nail supply shop. You don't want to face nail the boards, will look tacky. Good luck.
