My pole is up on a plaster ceiling and I have never had any problems with falling ceilings! A large piece of MDF (larger than the pole top spreader) will ensure a better weight distribution (spreading the load over two ceiling joists), but it's best to check with your pole manufacturer directly to see what they advise. Whether you decide to use a piece of MDF or not, make sure you first locate a ceiling joist, otherwise the ceiling could well crumble from the pressure!

I've heard that just to be on the safe side (and to avoid having your celing crumble) some people use a good sized peice of MDF to distribute the weight a bit more evenly What about plaster ceilings?
