If you’ve come this far, it’s because you already know how much practicing Pole Dancing can transform your training routine and you’re determined to take the next step: setting up your own pole dance at home to gain freedom and evolve even further!
However, before you buy your dream “own bar”, it’s essential to understand the requirements for installation, safety and maintenance to ensure a satisfactory experience.
This guide will explain in detail everything you need to know to set up and maintain your pole dance bar correctly. Shall we get started?
Required space to install a pole to dance at home
Before buying a pole dance pole, it is essential to assess whether the environment is suitable for installation. Some important guidelines include:
- Rigid floor and ceiling: The ceiling material should be brick, wood or porcelain tiles. If your ceiling is made of plasterboard or PVC, or even a beam, don’t worry: you can install your pole as long as you use a Solution Frame. See all the options here.
- Free area around: A minimum of 1.20m (393,70ft) away from furniture and walls is recommended to provide space and get freedom of movement. If you have less than this, you can train strength movements and spins with less amplitude!
- Required height: Gaia Pole produces custom-made poles and, in the case of collapsible models, we can adjust them too. So measure the exact height of the place where the pole will be installed and have this figure to hand when you buy it. The ideal height is the one you have!
Provenance of the equipment
Choosing quality equipment is essential to guarantee all the safety you need for your practice and to ensure durability!
- Materials: Specially polished stainless steel bars, such as the stainless steel with mirror polishing that we use at Gaia Pole, which provides excellent grip and resistance to corrosion.
- Safety Lock: A safe pole has a safety lock on pressure-installed models. Here at Gaia Pole, we have a TRIPLE safety lock, guaranteeing maximum protection during use, whether static or spinning.
- Resistant bases: The bottom and top of the pole must be sturdy enough to withstand the weight and impact of the movements. Avoid metal bases, as they will peel and rust over time. That’s why every Gaia Pole has a polymer base with a lifetime guarantee!
- Embedded screws: Make sure that the pole dance pole you get doesn’t have any exposed screws or sharp edges that could cause cuts and accidents when practicing!
Which model of pole dance pole is ideal?
Here at Gaia Pole, we offer different types of pole dance poles to meet specific needs. Take a look at the options:
- Permanent Pole Dance Pole: Fixed to the ceiling and floor, this model is ideal for dedicated spaces. It has both static and rotating functions. Gaia’s poles are the only ones on the market to have fully embedded screws, with no scratches.
- Removable Pole Dance Pole: Installed entirely by pressure, this pole can be easily removed whenever necessary. A great option for those looking for versatility without permanent fixings. Remember that here at Gaia Pole, every pressure pole has a Triple Safety Lock.
- Retractable Pole Dance Pole: Screwed at the top and installed by pressure at the bottom, this is an exclusive Gaia Pole product. Thanks to the articulation at the top, the pole can be stored on the ceiling when not in use, optimizing space.
- Portable Dance Pole: A detachable model installed by pressure, this pole has a wide installation range. Suitable for those who need to take the pole to different locations or adjust its height as necessary, even when moving house.
- Pole on Tracks: In this 100% Exclusive Gaia Pole solution, the removable pole is installed on a track system, which makes it easy to free up space.

Maintenance and safety
To keep your pole dance at home in perfect condition and ensure safety when practicing, follow these recommendations:
- Cleaning: Use only 92% alcohol or isopropyl alcohol and a cotton cloth to prevent residue build-up and ensure adherence.
- Avoid abrasive products: Substances with glue or strong detergents can damage the pole’s coating. If you do use them, make sure you clean them properly in order to remove all traces of the products.
- Check the pressure regularly: Make sure that the pole is correctly installed before each training session, especially when there is a sudden change in temperature.
- Damp environments: In places subject to the sea air, use degreaser (WD-40) on the bases to preserve the bearings and components.
Installing a pole dance pole at home is an incredible investment for your progress in the sport. With the right environment, the right model and the necessary care, you can train safely and comfortably whenever you want.
