Using the Big Dripper. in a mobile home, difficulties!

[JlaPinska]

We live in a mobile home and the ceiling is thin, not like a house. We mounted the large dripper with plastic anchors and after about 4 months, it fell right out of the ceiling. We moved it to a more sturdy spot and mounted it again the same way. It fell again. I'm not really sure what else to do, any suggestions?! It's just sitting collecting dust now but it works so well i would really like to go back to using it, just not sure what to do. Moving the cage wouldn't help.

Dumb question, why cant you place it on the cage, or on a self supported hook? I understand that with plastic ceilings and walls, shelves and ceiling hooks are not an option.

A new IV pole is like $20...

Not sure what the ceiling is made of but you likely need anchors and screws (I think the dollar tree sells them). You drill a hole that the plastic anchor barely fits into it then screw the screw into that and the plastic expands. Or you can find the stud in the ceiling. Other than that... what he said^^^.

I have a metal storage shelf and my dripper sits on the top shelf and cage on the secound.
