1. What does removable mean?
Removable means that the Lil' Mynx is not bolted to the
floor or ceiling. After the initial installation it takes only seconds
to put up or take down, with no tools needed.
2. What holds the pole in place?
Our unique ceiling mount ,
which is disguised as a plant hook for discretion, along with a
threaded compression system and rubber feet on the base hold the Lil'
Mynx in place. The Lil' Mynx Pro Pole also comes with a friction ceiling
mount that does not require a bolt into the ceiling, although you must
still find a joist to straddle. Keep in mind this is held in place by
friction and cannot withstand as large a side load as the bolted mount.
3. I rent an apartment/home, will there be any damage to my
ceiling or floor?
The ceiling mount requires only a single screw and can
easily be covered with spackle when you move. The rubber feet on the
base that grip the carpet for traction cause no damage.
4. What if my ceiling height is less than 8 feet?
Not a problem, just make note of your ceiling height in the
comments section of the order page or give us a call before you order
and we can make a pole to fit your ceiling height at no additional
charge. A pole shorter than 8 feet will be adjustable up to 2 foot
longer than the length you specify.
5. What if I have vaulted ceilings?
No problem. Simply select the option for a Vaulted Ceiling Mount when ordering.
Keep in mind that you will still be limited to 10 feet maximum height. This
mount does not look like a plant hook. It is just a mount.
6. Can I use the Lil' Mynx on hardwood or tile floors?
When ordering your pole simply select the Non-Skid Pad option for use on hardwood or non carpeted flooring.
7. What is the difference in finishes?
The colored poles are powder-coated and have the most grip, good for
climbing and hanging. The polished stainless steel poles have a
smoother slick finish, which is good for spins but a little harder to
climb.
8. Do I really need to consult a certified housing repairman for installation help?
Although it is not necessary to use a professional we highly
recommend it if you are not absolutely sure how to do the installation
yourself.
9. What does the hook do?
The hook has no function other than to disguise the mount.
It does not hold the pole in place. When you do not have your Lil' Mynx
in place all that is left is a functional plant hook. Hopefully this
will eliminate any awkward questions your family or friends may ask
about the mount.
10. What if I want to use my pole in multiple rooms?
While you can move your ceiling mount from room to room (not
recommended), it is much more convenient to place a mount in each room
you plan to use your Lil' Mynx Dance Pole. Please email us to order additional ceiling mounts.
11. How much room should I allow for around my pole?
You should allow for enough room to do any dancing and/or pole tricks without obstruction. Use common sense.
12. My pole is starting to look dirty. How do I clean it?
We recommend that you clean your Lil' Mynx Colors with a
damp cloth. Window cleaner works well and is safe because it is diluted.
Do no use solvents, such as alcohol.
13. What is the best way to store my Lil' Mynx?
It is recommended that the Lil' Mynx be stored horizontally.
This will insure that it has no chance of falling over causing injury
to any person or damaging the finish.
14. How does my package arrive and what does it look like?
Your Lil' Mynx arrives in a plain brown box with a return
address from Pacific International Marketing & Promotions, Inc.
Lil' Mynx Original and
Rotator Poles
Dance poles and extensions are shipped via FedEx.
15. Do you offer custom poles?
Yes, we make custom poles. Please email us to discuss your individual needs and for price quotes.
16. What is the diameter of the Lil' Mynx?
Lil Mynx Poles come in two diameters. The standard 2 inch (50MM) and 1.75 inch (45MM) which is designed for smaller hands and dancers under 5'4". The Pro Pole is only available in the 2 inch (50MM) diameter.
17. Do you offer a spinning pole?
Yes, The Lil' Mynx "Rotator" is a combination
spinning/stationary removable dance pole. The "Rotator" has a smart
designed bearing assembly in the base that allows the pole to rotate
freely. It also has a lockout pin that will lock the pole into place and
make the pole stationary when desired. It's like 2 poles in 1!
19. What is the difference between the Original Lil Mynx and the Lil Mynx Rotator?
The Original Lil' Mynx is a stationary removable dance pole. This
pole does not spin. The Lil' Mynx "Rotator" is a combination
spinning/stationary removable dance pole. The "Rotator" has a smart
designed bearing assembly in the base that allows the pole to rotate
freely. It also has a lockout pin that will lock the pole into place and
make the pole stationary when desired. It's like 2 poles in 1! Other
than the bearing assembly and lockout pin both poles share the same
installation and quality features.
19. I have a plaster ceiling. Will the Lil' Mynx work for me?
Plaster is not a great ceiling type for our standard
mount as there is nothing to secure the mount to. In this case, the Lil'
Mynx Pro Pole would work best with the friction mount. Be aware though
that the friction mount has limitations to side load.
20. I have metal joists. Will the Lil' Mynx work for me?
Yes, but you will need to get a "toggle/ butterfly"
bolt. These are the ones that pop open after they go through the
ceiling. You can find this and an appropriate drill bit from your local
hardware store. You may also consider the Pro Pole with the friction mount.
Be aware though that the friction mount has limitations to side load.
21. My Lil’ Mynx Rotator is squeaky.
Just spray a little wd40 between the adjustment tube and main tube.
