  Questions about installing a pole

  Posted by louisalyl6264 on March 28, 2015 at 10:43 am

  Hi everyone. New to this community. I started taking pole in 3 months ago and I am honestly addicted. I would love to install an x-pole in my room. The only problem is I have really delicate hardwood floors. There’s a new dents in it from just dropping something small on it. I know the X-pole comes with a silicone lining for the base and the top but i’m pretty paranoid about wrecking my floor. Has anyone had any luck with placing a regular rug under the pole or using one of those plastic floor covers you use for office chairs?

  Also I found a good deal on Craigslist for a 50 mm pole even though i’ve been using a 45mm at the studio. Does the size make a huge difference?

  Thanks for all your input!

  You should be able to put one of the foam puzzle piece type mat under the base with no issue.

  As for 50 vs 45, there is a really big difference! I used to hate 45s but now love them. Leg hold stuff is easier on 50s but anything requiring your hands is easier on a smaller diameter.

  Thank you for your feedback! I never though about a foam puzzle piece. That’s way better than a rug.
