Need a 9 3/4 platform for Harry Potter party. Plan to cut it and hang on front door so can "go through" like in the movie. Any thoughts on this?

I dont see that being a problem. it would need to be taped or attached pretty sturdy and it is plastic and i would say it would work, as long as it wasn't roughly handled.. It looks realistic, as we used it for a mafia theme background and was a hit for the party. Hope this helps!

It should look good. We decorated the entire living room using two rolls to make it look like inside Minecraft house and that turned out pretty well, people thought at first glance we have a brick wall.

this attaches to a wall by tape as it is plastic sheet type of decoration so would need a structure to attach to

Hello The problem is the wear and tear factor I do not think this will workI apologize

I did something similar, and I liked the effect. I like how it makes it into a continual frame-like experience at a distance. Close up, you can see the gap between the 48" and the 6" piece. I've thought about a black piece of electrical tape to eliminate the gap. Hanging it was no problem - I put one hanger on the small piece and the other on the long piece, and I alternated (put the small piece on the other corner at the bottom then it is on the top) to increase structural integrity. All in all, it works.

I thikn that might work out OK for you. It comes in 4 pieces that seem to have some flexibility to them if you put the tallest piece under say a 1" foundation. It might be a little bit of a bump, but you could also raise the 2nd piece slightly to make it flatter.

This will fit through a standard door. I concur with the others on assembling this was a challenge and unless you want to spar with your partner on Christmas eve... Give yourself plenty of time. It's massive and in order to use properly cannot be pushed up against a wall. In hindsight it wasn't a good choice for us and not something that can "disappear" if you know what I mean. But we live in an apartment. The price was right ($123) when we purchased. Good value.

You are 34" off the ground at the top step so 9' ceilings should be fine for almost all users. 8' or less could be an issue.

Sorry, it was perfect for me, a short little runt (5'3"). Seems like elsewhere on the Internet or on Amazon others had commented about adding (splicing in) another length of pipe to bottom to raise the top section, but I'm not exactly sure how that was done. Need some mechanical engineer type person. The other possibility might be in building up the concrete on the outside and any internal PVC or steel pipe that the two pieces could fit on - but you'd need to reinforce from the outside. Instructions were like to sink 20" of the pole into the ground for stability (I forget the exact number, but it was a ways on down, to give it stability.). So if you made the concrete footing shallower relative to the ground level then you likely will need to have some sort of buttress on the outside, or extra bracing from the ends of the horizontal "T" pole down to the ground (and the appropriate safety "flags" or coloring or flower vines or something so that people don't hurt themselves tripping over the guy wires. Anyway, this is kinda off my head but sorry I don't have a really great solution other then just to research other places. The pole is just about right for me... the clothes line is starting to get a little droopy and catch on my top knot but I just need to tighten them to make it not tangle it up with my head. Otherwise it's working out just fine for me.

Not sure why it said you would have to cut it. It actually comes with a Tension spring that goes inside one of the poles! There is also an Extension that is provided that can be used for taller ceilings. I did not need the extension pole. This item worked and looks great.

I don't think it would sit well. It really needs 4 points to hang right and to be sturdy. At least in my eyes

Hello! Whitmor 6046-13 Supreme Garment Care Collection Over-the-Door Shoe Organizer is made from heavy-duty fabrics and vinyl so I am sure you could cut it through the middle if needed, however, I don't think it would be as sturdy as you would only be using 2 hooks for support. If you have additional questions regarding this item feel free to contact our Customer Service Department, Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm (CST) at (888) 944-8667 or email us at help@whitmor.com. Have a great day!

Don't know your home or wall layout, if it were me and I like oak I would cut a piece to the proper size to either match my house wood trim or the pet fence and use masonary screws (tap-cons) and bolt the wooden section I just fabricated to the wall and then screw in the hooks and mounts. Just saying.

I have 2 lined up also. Just make sure you don't hang too much weight from them, as 3 might encourage you to store more on top! And as the other comment indicated, hitting the center of the framing is critical. Have fun!

Thanks for all of the answers, everyone. I am bummed that it will not work. I love the idea of a platform that sits off to the side so I'm not constantly tripping over it. It looks like a brilliant design.

"Cut out" sections....but mirrors would be a GREAT idea! However, it is nice to see the paint color as well through the slats. It is a great piece, I would highly recommend it!

I'm following this thread because I am trying to think of a good way to hang rollup blinds in it. They have metal hanging loops at the top. I do LOVE the screenhouse, don't love putting it up every year though!

I used mine in my Halloween display and I just put it on the floor, but it would be awesome hanging from the ceiling pointing down. Good luck and have fun!

You shouldn't have any issues with a 9 ft ceiling. Self assembly isn't too bad considering I am not all that handy and I was able to get it put together.

I was at K-Mart yesterday and they has poster frame (22"x28"). I thought that would have worked but it was too late. I had a friend build me one using wood brick molding and routering out a rabbit so I could put all 4 posters into one frame (full size 23x29) so you could display any of the 4 posters and have a place to store the other three. It cost me about $80 but it looked super. I didn't look for a price at K-Mart and you would have to trim the document 1/2" all the way around.>
