Check and Install a Tension Dance Pole

$10

Darlinghurst NSW 2010, Australia

22nd Aug 2026

Anyone handy enough to stop me putting a dance pole through my ceiling? 😂 ASAP I’ve got a VEVOR tension dance pole ready to go and, while I’m very tempted to just wing it, I’d quite like to keep both the pole and my ceiling intact 😅 Basically need someone who knows their way around ceilings/building stuff to help me work out exactly where it can safely go and be sure the ceiling + floor can handle the pressure and movement. I’ve already got a stud/metal/deep/AC detector, I can assemble it and do all the helping/lifting. I mainly need someone to tell me “yes, this spot is actually structural and you’re not about to redecorate the neighbour’s apartment upstairs.” 😂 Would LOVE someone who’s happy to help for free/a cheeky favour or super cheap 🙏 Hopefully a very quick job if you know what you’re looking at. 📍Darlinghurst ⏰ASAP/today ideally. 👷🏽‍♂️Bonus points if you actually know building/ceiling construction rather than just being exceptionally confident with a drill 😂
