Where do you want to place your stripper pole? You can place your stripper pole anywhere. Do you need it out of sight of others? Decide whether you want it in your living room, bedroom, office etc. and what material that floor is made of. Hardwood and ceramic floors need to be protected by some sort of barrier between it and the pole. Some poles come with a silicone base but with other poles you will need to purchase a non-skid floor pad.

Do you need it to be removable or portable? Do you plan on taking your pole with you?Portable poles are easily broken down into smaller pieces and placed into a portable carrying case making it easy to throw in your car and go! Removable poles can be taken down when company comes over and mounts can be disguised. There are poles that are both portable and removable such as the X-Pole

How tall are your ceilings? Taller ceilings are going to need pole extenders which can be bought if need be from the company you bought your pole from. Some pole kits come with some extenders. The standard height ranges from 8′ to 10” but please check exact measurements.
-
Spinning or static? I suggest you get 2 for the price of 1! Many poles that are spinning also can be static by simple placement of a pin. Use static is for beginners. Once you have your moves down try spinning for more advanced movement.
-
Do you have the tools or need to borrow someones? Some poles require a screwed down ceiling mount that is relatively easy to install but this requires having a stud finder, ladder, Other poles are bottom loading so that the height is easily adjusted from the bottom- no ladders needed.
There are other things you may want to consider when buying a stripper pole but probably comes down to personal preferences and ideas of what you want. Do a lot of research and keep what I listed in mind!
