Is the rope long enough for a 12 ft ceiling? At 8:1 mechanical advantage, it must be long.

The kit comes with a 46 feet long rope. My garage ceiling is 10 ft high, and the rope is too long.

Is it is, I installed on a 10ft. Ceiling and had plenty left over that I still had shorten.

Rope is long enough for 12 foot ceiling. I mounted mine on a 9 foot ceiling with plenty of excess rope.

I have a 9 foot ceiling and when all the way down, still have another 6 foot of rope left on the floor (approximately 15 feet from the pulley). My unit has a 4:1 mechanical advantage.

My garage ceiling is only 9 ft, however there is excess rope. If you require a longer rope, it appears to me that replacing the shipped rope would be relatively easy.

At both the houses that I've installed these, I've had to cut the ropes because they were way too long. I think that even with 15-ft ceilings you'll have plenty of rope to hang them. You can always buy longer pieces of nylon rope to use with it, since hooking them up is part of the installation anyway, but I think the included ones will be long enough.

it is a slim wire rope, yes I belive it would it would do fine on a slope ceiling. I Love my light it gives a pretty warm glow.

I stretched it out to 10ft (and may have been able to go a bit further), plus the hose is already almost 2ft off the ground, so the reach is pretty good. It easily reaches my 8ft ceilings; even the peak of the living room at 10ft is easily reached.

because you do it on the ceiling it doesn't matter how hight. I have 13 foot ceilings and it works

I have it installed in my 275cm ceiling, which is about 9 foot. I am not sure it will run to 12"6 (ays 9.5 foot / 114 inches on the specs) as it will get pretty flimsy extended much further than it is on mine. It does work great though. Real space saver. If you can find another space in your apartment then go for it. Excellent value.

I'm not an expert but I wouldn't install it in an 8 ft ceiling. We installed ours in a 13 ft ceiling. I would think 10 ft should be a minimum .

My ceiling is 7' 6"" and it's no problem. I think you should be ok with a 7' ceiling.

I have it mounted to a 7ft high ceiling and I use maybe half the rope provided. In a pinch, your local hardware store run can easily provide you with as much rope as you need.

very long its better for high ceilings but I made it work just adjust chain.

Yes, I just installed in a room with 8 FT ceilings and it looks beautiful. If anyone is over 6FT tall it may be an issue.

I have 8 and 12 foot ceilings in my old colonial house and I have no problem reaching any corners, over the piano etc. It feels like it extends to 16' but Im not sure.

It can be pretty long, there are 5 or 6 different pieces than can be screwed together - it all depends on how high your ceiling is, mine is over 10 ft and I only needed 2...

Ooh, that's tough. The pole definitely won't extend to 12ft - maybe 10 or so. As it's pressure mounted, you'd have to build something to decrease that distance. Maybe something like a small stage on the floor? That or a block of some type on the ceiling though it would be hard to make it stable enough...

If you close mount it, maybe.I mounted with the extention provided and its 20 " inches off ceiling and 28 inches to bottom of pull chains. I would not recommend it for an 8 foot ceiling in any which way-

to &#8540; inch should work fine...but it might be difficult getting the proper tension with rope over cable...
