    Angry Stupid Pole Mount...

    Okay, I got a lil mynx pole about a month ago... They mount with one screw in a joist in the ceiling. My screw just like FELL out of the ceiling! WHY?! (I think my joists are aluminum, would that have something to do with it?) I'm thinking about just putting the screw back into it's little hole and using the pole. That would be okay, right?

    Should be. You should check it every time before you use it to make sure it's secure. Sometimes these things just come loose through use.

    ^Not yet, but I'm assuming it is.

    Edit: I just checked, it's stripped.

    It's just... a hole now. I think it's from when I take the pole down and put it up... It just kept wiggiling the mount. Two screws might have been a better idea for the design? Anyways, I just stuck the mount back into the hole and put the pole up, seems to be okay. If I fall, I won't die, it's over carpet.

    It can strip by tightning the lag screw too tight also. But as stated before, you should always check it before you use it to make sure it's in good.

    Make sure to wear a helmet. j/k. Seriously though, be careful.

    Damn girl you must be getting good practice on that thing! I'm gonna be checking on you at work, I wanna see some of your new moves.

    OK. I'm delirious. Time for bed. Bye! Kisses!

    I have a friction pole from Platinum Stages that I put up/take down regularly... haven't had any problems with it yet. Consider switching poles?

    I can't have a pole that needs a screw because I live in an apartment and the lease doesn't allow it

    ^^You can screw something into the wall/ceiling in your apt - you just have to repair the hole before you move out. A little spackle fills in the hole and a little paint covers it up. No one will ever know it was there. A very cheap, easy, quick fix.

    If it's just a wood screw (a screw made to go into wood) I would try to put a bigger screw in it. If it's a metal screw(a screw made to go into metal or a pre made hole kinda like a nut) find a handyman and have him use a tap to make a new hole and put a new screw in it.

    ^How can I tell what kind of screw it is? What's a tap?

    Sunshine - Don't check on me quite yet. I'm not good enough at them yet to try them on stage.

    I'm sure your moves are progressing nicely. But do be careful!

    And don't worry hun. I'm sure you''ll find a good screw one way or another! Hee hee hee
