Matthews Matthpoles are stronger and more durable than any other product on the market. Their unique 'expanding casting' provides the pressure to hold the Matthpole in place. Used primarily in studios for mounting seamless paper and backdrops with the use of Super Mafer Clamps and Swivel U-Hooks, the Matthpole has also been used in a horizontal position to support small lighting fixtures.
Available in three overlapping sizes Matthpoles can be used in openings as small as 30” up to 178” (almost 15 feet) without the need for extensions. To avoid damage to the wall or ceiling Matthpoles should only be used directly in line with studs.
CAUTION: Because tubing can sag over long lengths when weight is added the Matthpole may become loose and come down. To avoid this it is recommended that vertical Matthpoles with two Super Mafer Clamps mounted at tight angles and a #209635 Swivel be used at each end to support horizontal Matthpoles.
