Compare every ceiling unit in the overhead table.
Before choosing overhead
- Confirm the ceiling height matches the maker's stated range.
- Find a structural mounting point at the stated distance from the tee.
- Plan power and Ethernet to that point.
- Check the hitting zone size — larger zones forgive tee placement.
