I have 8ft ceilings, with the backboard at the 82" height (6.8") do you think there is enough ceiling space to shoot?

Yes. Everyone usually plays at the net and shoots towards the basket. We have yet to have anyone hit the ceiling. Fun for all ages.
1375694
Yes. Unless you are shooting from far back and need the air space, 8' should be fine. We stand right up against the court so we can reach down for the basketballs without even looking and when they are thrown, they might go above the entire court like 6"-1'. Good luck on choice.

We have 8 ft ceilings & it's definitely enough room to shoot. After the hype, kids don't play too much but it's definitely a hit when other kids are here :)

I have standard ceiling heights and it fits fine. My 8 year old sleeps up there, but I often lay with him until he falls asleep and it's fine.

My husband is 6'2" - our ceiling is 8' - he says it works but he is always conscious of the ceiling being so close. It may be even closer with your ceiling at 7'8".

I'm six foot and I have more than enough headroom with an 8 foot high ceiling. A pedal at the bottom of it's orbit would be about 6 inches off the floor.

I'd have to set it up to be sure. But I can almost guarantee you it isn't tall enough. I think the extending frame/ truss structures spanning across the width and diagonals would prevent you from standing anything 8' tall in there. You might be able to get creative and put the four feet on some type of stand to lift the whole thing up though. Not sure how goffy that would look.

Hi Ed, Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 92.5" in order to meet building codes, so you should be fine because 8.5 feet measures 102". Also, this fan cannot be flush mounted, but again, you should be just fine with your ceiling height. We hope this helps! Ed, if you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they'll also be able to give you the best price over the phone. Oh, and they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

It would be close probably ok if you set it up so head is between joists. I have plent of clearance with a 8" ceiling and am 6"2 and short legs all upper body I do have to move away from a ceiling fan that hangs down a little more than a foot. It is a great price of equipment though and would highly recommend it if you have the space

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-

6' x 8' is good enough space. When you do jumping jack make sure nothing obstructing above.

I am 6' tall and my hair hits the ceiling sometimes but don't bump my head at 85" ceiling height. I would recommend about an 85" ceiling height for you if you don't want your hair to hit the ceiling.

I don't think it will work that well. It would be okay if you are only shooting from the base of the "court," but if you want to take longer shots, then 7' might be a problem.

I too have 8 ft ceilings.....almost.... This is above my stove area. I would say about 13 inches. But it looks good.

Eight feet is more than enough. I have nine feet to the rafters, which is oceans of room, and I just now tested, and if you have eight feet, you should have a few inches of clearance to shoot overhand and not hit the ceiling when the shot is at its apex.

Yes, but it will be tight. I have mine in a 13 x 17 room. If it's centered in the room, side shots will be fine but end shots might require a "trouble shooter" cue stick. I got a 3 footer that works pretty well.

I am 5 10 and the room where I use this has an 82 inch ceiling. I cannot raise the incline of the machine without hitting the ceiling. It's still acceptable for me. If you have a sporting goods store that carries this, go with a friend and bring a tape measure to measure height.

I think you'll be fine. I have 8 foot ceilings. I'm only 5'4, however, my elliptical sits under my ceiling fan and I don't feel in any danger of hitting the fan. Does this help?
