Mount Selection Guide

Choosing the right mount is the single biggest factor in how your SkyFox suite feels. Use this guide to evaluate the three signature setups—ceiling anchors, freestanding frames, and the traveler doorway kit—so the hardware, room flow, and care routines match your fantasy.

Ceiling Mount Magic

• Signature vibe: Seamless, studio-grade installs that disappear into architecture and let you spin 360° without boundaries.
• Best for: Dedicated playrooms, high ceilings, concrete lofts, and owners who crave a swing that is always ready.
• Setup essentials: Locate joists or beams, pre-drill, and torque SkyFox anchors to spec (30–35 ft-lbs). Pair with the high-capacity swivel and secondary safety line.
• Watch outs: Requires permanent hardware and post-scene inspections. Budget for professional install if you’re unsure about structural integrity.

Upgrade tip: Add recessed lighting or ceiling medallions to frame the hardware and keep the install stealth.

Freestanding Frame Fluidity

• Signature vibe: Portable, mid-room suspension with zero drilling. The Nebula frame assembles in minutes and supports full swings, inversions, and partner lifts.
• Best for: Renters, multipurpose rooms, patios, or anyone who loves rearranging furniture and traveling with their swing.
• Setup essentials: Lock every crossbar pin, check leg spread, and add floor weights or sandbags for high-energy scenes. Place a rug beneath the footprint to protect floors.
• Watch outs: Frames need clear ceiling height (8 ft / 2.4 m minimum) and regular bolt torque checks. Store in a dry space to prevent corrosion.

Upgrade tip: Clip LED strips or sheer drapery to the top bar for instant theatrical lighting.

Traveler Doorway Kit

• Signature vibe: Discreet, packable play for hotel suites, guest rooms, and quick-change adventures.
• Best for: Explorers who need a stealth rig, renters facing strict drilling policies, or couples who love spontaneous scenes on the road.
• Setup essentials: Position the torque strap so the pads hug both sides of the jamb, cinch until the door closes smoothly, and clip in the secondary safety strap to an overhead hinge or alternate anchor.
• Watch outs: Only use solid-wood jambs—no hollow-core doors. Monitor load to prevent flex and add foam pads to protect paint.

Upgrade tip: Pack a small level and painter’s tape to mark your ideal strap height from one location to the next.

Quick Decision Matrix

• If you want a permanent, invisible setup for daily play → choose Ceiling Mount Magic.
• If you want versatility, quick teardown, or outdoor sessions → go with Freestanding Frame Fluidity.
• If you want carry-on discretion or short-term installs → pack the Traveler Doorway Kit.

Prep Checklist Before Commit

• Measure ceiling height, room width, and door jamb thickness.
• Log structural details (joist spacing, concrete thickness, door material) in your SkyFox maintenance journal.
• Confirm you own the necessary tools or book a SkyFox installer.
• Plan post-scene care—ceiling mounts need quick anchor checks, frames need bolt audits, doorway kits need strap inspections.

Whatever mount you choose, document the install date, torque specs, and photos so future maintenance is effortless. Still undecided?
