I have a nice, big beam (on the ceiling) that runs in between the 2 and 3 car that it'll end up on. I just need an extension cord since the 6' cord that came with it won't reach anything. I paid extra for the 12AWG reel so figured I should get an equivalent extension cord for it since all I seem to have kicking around are the cheapy "Christmas light" cords.Mount that up high. Even off a 2x4 sticking 8' up and out 6' from the wall. It makes it so nice.
