We had wanted a wider beam wrap but somehow this is what we got.
Ceiling fan on wood beam.
You can mount a ceiling fan directly onto the beam using the ceiling fan s canopy the canopy houses the electrical wiring as easily as an electrical box can.
It is not difficult to learn how to install a ceiling fan on a beam.
If you have a solid wooden beam running along the ceiling in your room onto which you want to install a ceiling fan take heart.
So it will hang out past the beam wrap by 0 5 on each side.
Step 1 measure the ceiling to floor distance for blade clearance and precautions.
How much overhang if any is acceptable for the fan base to hang past the width of the beam.
The steps are laid out below to teach you the basics.
With basic electrical knowledge and simple tools you can tackle this diy project.
We have a ceiling beam wrap that is 5 5 wide and our fan base is 6 5 wide.
