For BALLET we recommend spacing the brackets no further than 64" apart while for BARRE fitness classes spacing should be no further than 48". Custom Barres will gladly assist you in designing the layout for your barre. This is a complimentary service FREE of charge.
Both brackets are well secured into the wood barre by 2 wood screws under the saddle.
Open saddle will give you the ability to stretch beyond the bracket location without having the bracket in the way, which is a really nice feature.
The closed saddle provide you with slightly more support and hide the seam between 2 barre sections.
Both options are perfectly suited for Barre fitness and/or Ballet.
Standard Height for Ballet: 40" - 42" high (measured from floor to center of barre).
Standard Height for Barre Fitness: 36" - 38" high (measured from floor to center of barre).
Custom Barres carry only top quality hard wood, so it really depends on your budget and the look you are looking for.
Unfinished Ash: $ (good)
Unfinished Oak: $$ (better) Stains Better - Stronger than Ash
Unfinished Maple $$$ (best) Stains Better - Stronger than Both

No. Many dancers wish to leave the barre unfinished. The wood barres come well sanded and unfinished. You may wish to stain them to match your room decor and/or apply 3 coats of Polyurethane to preserve the beauty of the wood, and bring out the beautiful wood grain.
Wipe the barres with baby wipes / antibacterial wipes. These wipes are just as effective on sticky barres as they are on children.
If the baby wipes have not removed all the sticky residue. Mix equal parts of water and vinegar in a spray bottle, shake gently. Spray the cleaning solution directly onto the barre and wipe with a cleaning rag. Repeat as necessary until all residue has been removed.
Wipe the barres clean with a damp cloth to remove any remaining residue or vinegar solution.
Unfortunately Custom Barres does not offer installation services, as we sell all over the USA and abroad; however, we will be more than happy to assist you with layout suggestions or any installation questions that you may have . We are also starting to build a prefferred installer database, so if you are an installer please feel free to share your information with Custom Barres so we can refer you to clients from your area. info@custombarres.com
Yes! If you did not say otherwise, all wood up to 10' in length will come beveled on both ends, so no sharp edges at the ends. It gives the ballet barre a finished look. Larger dance barres / fitness barres, let's say 14' for example, will come as 2 x 7' sections - one end will be pre-drilled for connection and the other end will be beveled, so when you connect the 2 barre sections together, it will look as if it was one long ballet barre. If you decide that you prefer the wood with no bevel or pre-drilling please make sure to indicate this when you choose your wood barre.
Yes you can!

If you have metal studs, we strongly recommend installing backboard support.
If installing backboard support is not an option for metal studs or if you are installing on a concrete wall, you would need to purchase special anchors to install the ballet barre brackets.
We recommend heavy duty Toggle Bolts that hold up to 356 lbs. They would need to be bolts for the heaviest weight load to hold the weight of the brackets and the weight of the people using the barre.
We only provide hardware for installing on wood studs or backboard support. Attached are links with specifications of hardware you would need to purchase on your own for installation on metal studs or a concrete wall.
On average, when your barre and brackets are installed as recommended, they can support 100 lbs of pressure per linear foot. In other words, the ballet barre will sufficiently support an average amount of pressure from the average weight person using an average of 2-3 ft of barre.
The closer you space the brackets together, the stronger the support. Therefore, for fitness (which uses more than average pressure) the ideal spacing is 36” apart (and no further than 48” apart) and for ballet the ideal spacing is 42” apart (and no further than 64” apart).
