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

There is a built-in level - I think it is in the angled mounting bracket, at the very top. I remember my neighbor (who installed) looking down on top of it. Will double check.

Andy, You can do this. At the point where you make the turn, install (2-) 4" x 1/4" long screw eyes if you can put in backing. If not, use 1/4" x 5" toggle bolts. You will need a nut and fender washer on the finished ceiling to tighten the toggle. These should be 3 1/2" apart and sit at a an angle so that the wires run parallel. Take a few minutes to get this right. The fixtures come as brushed aluminum. If you choose just spray them the color of your choice, as well as the eye bolts. Hope it comes out right. Good luck and these are nice lighting and you can install a regular dimmer. Email me for photos. papadave@outlook.com Andy, You can do this.

I found that the mount will not sit next to the ceiling to hide the mounting bracket and you may have to side the t.v. to one side more than the other, why I don't know but may tilt to one side more I use a small line bubble level to get the t.v. to look even. And if you are wanting the t.v. to be straight up and down with the ceiling I think maybe you mean bar yes, but I found that if you are sitting or laying down to view than you may want to set the tilt to more of a 20 degree angle for better viewing. I hope this helps.Good luck

The beam supported by the posts should run parallel with the wall-attach member. If you can and are willing to slope the wall-attach then you have no problem. Another possible solution is to cut 2 of the posts shorter to accommodate the slope while keeping the roof support beam level (you'll have to drill new holes for the mounting brackets).

I got the down facing one, not the side facing one and it works well. The field of view was. Too small to mount on 8' ceiling so we put it on the wall facing the door. We put a little piece of foam. From the packaging being it when we mounted it to the wall to get the angle we wanted. It worked pretty well and you can't tell the foam is there and it works great with just 2 screws.

My shades are mounted at the outside of the patio ceiling away from the windows. I found bungees, etc. too much trouble. I took some curling ribbon cut two pieces long enough to go around each column next to the shade and ran each thru a tie down ring and around a column , tied it with a bow and now I can use one pull on the ribbon to untie it for raising and lowering the shade. I have to replace the ribbons every month or so. Curling ribbon costs about $2 for 150 yards.

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.

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

We did not hang it on a sloped ceiling. However, since this product works on a lift system, I am thinking that you might not be happy with the results. It would be akin to hanging window blinds (which work on the same type of lift system) on a slant. Although it might work OK when unit is empty, full of clothes the rods can get quite heavy and this might cause you a problem.

There are two adjustments bolts at the base of the tilt. Adjust the one on the left until you get a true 45 degree.

If on a flat roof, there are extensions which go straight out onto the roof and are anchored down.If at the peak or on a slant, there are a couple of brackets you can use to install on the level. hope this helps/

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

I put shim spacers in between the garage wall and the lower/bottom hole of the bracket, that gave it a lift angling the awning upwards and minimizing what you call the "slope" when the awning is then extended outward

If you are careful during installation and follow directions, it should be fine on a slightly sloped ceiling.

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 .

That is how we installed our's. Put a nice stained board up for stability & put the mount on it. When we fold the TV up to the ceiling we attatch a bungie cord across it incase we hit a hard bump just to be sure the clame doen not bounce loose. Seems to work great.
