Assess the space
Check ceiling height, fan clearance and where water may drip from wet clothes.
Choose the right materials
Ask about anodised aluminium rods and the number of rods needed for your household.
Plan the installation
Fixings should reach a load-bearing slab, not just a decorative false ceiling.
Keep it in good condition
Keep the pulley path free of obstructions and replace frayed cord before it fails.
