I installed the support on the ceiling. Overall installation was pretty easy. My wife helped me and we got it done in about 2 hours. My only concern is that the poles are 2 pieces which means there is a connector in the middle where the two 5' foot poles go together. After I put the backgrounds on the poles I noticed that they sagged at the connector and would not roll up evenly. I took the down and tightened the connector more and that helped. However, over time I feel like they will get loose again. I wish these were solid 10' poles. Otherwise, the system is easy to use and install & I feel the price is very good.
