I have tried to resolved this on my own; I now come to you for advice.
I got my pole on April 9th. Today is April 16th and part a & b are lying on the floor, separate from their base and dome. I am extremely frustrated, regretful and wondering if I might be able to put this thing up after all.
We have erected it 5 times, and 5 times taken it down.
First I needed a (better) stud finder. Then, the sections were not tight enough and it was crooked. Then I needed a level because both our ceilings and floors are not level and the ceiling seemed to be sinking upwards.
Finally, we put it up, everything secure and give it a spin. The mutha budged on the first spin. Retightened it.
Everything secure and level, gave it another attempt. This time, there was a clanking sound: "Clunk, clunk, clunk" when I put it in spinning mode, so I figure it's too tight. Loosened it, but still - same thing.
I am wondering; What else can I try ?
P.S. I also tried a .5" board under the joists between them and the dome, but the dome slipped, and it seems you can't tighten the pole with too much pressure because then it will have a bend to it, which is probably why the pole goes "Clank" in spinning (?)-
The LAST thing I want to do is bend it!
I'm frustrated! {Sigh} . I would appreciate any suggestions.
