The Dilemmas of Mounting a Dance Pole in an Apartment

The Dilemmas of Mounting a Dance Pole in
Your Apartment
2

• If you are one of the many who rent an apartment
  or condo, the dilemma of putting a dance pole for
  home use is real. As a tenant, you are bound by
  the rules of the landlord which is to keep his
  place intact. Any damages incurred while under
  the contract would mean forfeiting the security
  deposit. More than that, the issue of safety also
  looms large. I guess this is a universal problem
  and one that even homeowners share.

• Permanent dance poles or semi-permanent
  installation dance poles may be safer to use for
  a pole dancer however, they are far from perfect.
  Not only are they not portable but some low
  quality permanent and semi-permanent installation
  dance poles can create damage to your houses
  ceiling as well as the floor. A number of
  low-value dance poles often times leave holes in
  the ceiling and floor.

• Nobody wants to lose the security deposit over
  damages and that is an advantage of a good
  quality portable removable dance pole.

• A quality dancing pole installed correctly in
  your home may put some temporary indentations on
  a carpet (similar to that of the legs on a sofa)
  but indentations are not an issue with most
  landlords. They are generally very safe when
  installed in an apartment.

• I have had my Pro Quality Pole and my XPert X
  Pole installed in places where I rented with no
  problems at all and yes, my landlord gave me my
  security deposit back. )

• With that being said, portable removable dance
  poles have shown to be suitable for pole dancing
  workout at home especially in the following
  conditions
• 1. You need the convenience of being able to move
  your dance pole from one room to the other in
  your house or move it with you when you get a
  different place to live.

• 2. Your house has limited space making permanent
  or semi-permanent dance poles inconvenient to use
  as they interfere with your daily household
  activities.
• 3. Drilling in the ceiling and floor in your
  apartment is prohibited by your landlord.

• Another difficult aspect of setting up a dance
  pole space at home is ensuring your safety and
  keeping the apartment in good shape.

• Most dance poles for home use are tension based
  and so the security of your dance pole is
  determined by how well the tension is between the
  pole, the ceiling, and the floor. The tension
  exerted by dance poles, especially very tall
  dance poles on the ceiling and the floor is
  essentially what keeps it in place along with
  quality soft rubber on the dome and base of the
  pole (not all poles have this).

• The biggest fear is that the tension will crack
  the ceiling and it can IF you dont follow
  the installation instructions correctly and
  install it where there is NO ceiling joist. This
  is the primary reason this happens. Sheets of
  drywall and flimsy roof boards are not meant to
  handle the pressure of these good quality poles
  made of steel.

• Theres more to pole safety than knowing how to
  mount a dance pole and make it stay in place.
  Here are some great tips before you shop for your
  new dance pole
• Mounting your own dance pole under a ceiling
  joist using a stud finder is the best way to find
  a secure place to support the pressure of the
  dance pole.

• 2. Be sure your pole is made of good quality
  metal that can handle the pressure of the
  installation. Yes, they make cheap spring loaded
  dance poles which are dangerous.

• 3. Be sure the rubber on the dome and base are
  soft and sticky enough to grab the surface of the
  ceiling and floor. Also, be sure its glued on
  well as you can tell from the video, not all
  rubber on dance poles are created equally.
  Softer rubber also protects the surface of the
  ceiling and floor, preventing your apartment
  landlord from knowing the pole was ever there in
  the first place.

• 4.Be sure the chrome is properly electroplated on
  the dance pole and wont peel or chip off in
  time.
• Other common concerns are whether poles are safe
  on certain surfaces like tile, carpet, popcorn
  ceilings, etc. You can read more about
  installing a dance pole on various floor types
  here and you can read about installing a dance
  pole on popcorn ceilings here.
