Damian, all they do is drill a hole and add 4 eye bolts. That is the extent of their Hangers. They are such light fixtures, a simple decorative black chain holds them. Not sure if you can add to them now, might have to take them apart....

you can use conduit pipes and bend them with a conduit pipe, very easy and holds lots of weight. Total cost would run you about $15 for the two pipes, $35 for the bender, but you can return it after using it if you don't plan on keeping it and about $4 in wires to hang.

Worst case if you are extremely concerned about the six feet add a third conduit hanger for the center of the fixture so that you have three points of contact holding up the fixture.
