I did see some at HD, I think they were 62". Most Elec supply houses will have them.

Home Depot has a three bladed 60" industrial fan, white, real steep pitched blades.
It doesn't show on their web site, but I've seen it several times over the past three or four years. Not everything shows up on the web site, even if you select the local store.

Sean, if you get those installed anytime in the near future, please give us a report on how well you think they work.
I am going to be installing lighting in my 60x60x16 metal building soon and was looking at these fans at HD the other day. Might be good to install conduit and fans at the same time. Thought they might be useful to have to move some warm air trapped in the roof area down, in the winter. just not sure. Mine will have to be mounted at 14 ft plus height as this is an aircraft hangar with 14 ft doors so everything has to stay clear below that height.

Charles,
Will do. I'm just finishing a 40 x 60 x 13' ceiling. Drywall's going up now so I should be installing them in the next few days. The total height of the fan using the smaller 6" downrod is 18". I'll let you know how they work out.

Correction....These fans are NOT reversible. My Bad. I thought they were as the instruction sheet mentioned the reverse switch but I guess that pertained to a different model. No biggy though. I installed them and they work awesome. I set them on the lowest setting and it's like a wind tunnel in there. It's been 85-90 deg. and humid here the last couple of days and it is very comfy in there. I haven't even turned them all the way up yet....I'm afraid the building will have Liftoff! Anyway, one of my better purchases.

They're a funny company, but it's a top notch product. I've installed them in several industrial facilities.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when doing the light install, might just do fans too.

If I only have the two bay doors, without a reverse how well would the air circulate, or this is not like the one you have in your bedroom, this is made strictly to move large amounts of air.

I would think that 90 percent of the time you want the fan to blow down anyhow. In the winter, you want to pull heat at the ceiling down to the floor where it is useful. In the summer, you merely want to feel a breeze.
I have in the great room of my house that runs 24/7, pulling air down from the second floor (log house with cathedral ceiling). If I turn off that fan the upstairs becomes unbearable in the summer, and the downstairs becomes very chilly in the winter. (bad house design and a hvac unit installed when the house was ten years old. no ducting, nothing, was installed when it was new.

Sean,
The fans are reversable. all that you need to do is loosten the 1 philips screw that holds the bell shaped cover just above the fan motor. Slide it up a few inches and you will see the switch. Flip it resnug the screw and it is in reverse!
They are great fans for a garage for the price!
They will work for sure.
I am a big fan of year around air curculation, (Is that a pun?)
It keeps things from getting smelly, stangent, and rusty.
But 5 feet is a lot of space to keep clear. Even 14 plus feet up.
I hang a lot of seldom used stuff, like ladders, from my celings, and a 5 foot clear spot just isn't there.
So I go with multiple 36 inch fans. No drop posts. "Celing Huggers"
They are on 24/7/365 Set at med, blowing up. Air hits the celing, goes to the wall. and flows down.
No drafty spots, but good air movment.

Thanks Tom. Good to know. I'll have to check that out. Not that I'll ever climb up and reverse them all anyway.....but good to know.
5' is a lot of space to keep clear. I actually had two of mine interfere with the angle iron coming down to my garage doors. (slight miscalculation on my part)
Since my fan electrical boxes were already in place and drywalled around, I had to cut 3" off all the blades on those two fans. So now I have three 60" and two 54" fans...
. Still work nice and smooth.

I just ordered a 48", but also comes in a 56". These are Airkings, and I paid $58 and I think the 56" is $62. I also ordered the 12" down rod to shorten it a bit. These guy's were the cheapest, and if you use google checkout the shipping was much cheaper.

In the summer the fan blows down. In the winter you reverse the fan to pull towards the ceiling. Then the air circulate across the ceiling and down the walls.
Kevin
All the home styled ones have the speed switch on the little pull chain and the up flow or down flow on a slide switch under the blades.
Pretty simple.
These are not things you change often. In fact I never change mine. Medimum speed and blowing up always.
Some guys change from blowing down in the summer to blowing up in the winter, but I never saw the advantages in a shop.
I want the air flow to cover as much square feet as possible. With the air flow going up and out across the celing and then down the walls I feel like I am getting better air distribution then blowing down in a local spot.

I just picked up one of those white 60" fans from Home Depot today. They were on sale for $47.96. That store only had one, so I'm heading over to the next nearest HD tomorrow morning after I get off shift to get a second one. Hey, 20 bucks is 20 bucks.

Depending on how much current each fan draws and your breakwer limit. If you already have on fan installed to a wll switch you should be able to connect all of your fans to that one switch. Just make sure the wire you use and the breaker you use are the proper size for the job. Don't want a garage fire. The folks in the electrical dept at HD should be able to help ya.
Also, before you go get the brand and model number of your breaker box. This will help them get you the right breaker if you need to up grade your current circuit.
Hope this helps and makes sence.

Thought I'd bump this thread.
I have finished the installation of three of the Home Depot 60" "industrial" ceiling fans in my 60x60 "shop".
I have a garage door that when up takes up most of the first bay of the building and so I did not attempt to put a fan in that area, thus, the three fans are basically distributed in the remaining 40 ft of the building, all three hanging from the peak. I placed them where they are so I would have heat recovery in the winter. The building is not heated, but when its 40 on the floor, and the sun is shining, its warmer up at the peak (21 ft) so these fans are there to draw warmer air down to floor level. In the summer, they are there to provide some air movement.
I fabricated 4 ft long downrods from 3/4" American made water pipe, I was given a couple of pieces that were 20 years old (date stamped and manufacturer stamped) and so I cut and drilled them to match the existing downrods.
Installed the speed controllers and a single master ON/OFF switch in a gang box and had to use a blank face plate and cut out the openings. Each fan only draws about one amp, and even with the fans hanging about 15 ft off the floor, you can feel a breeze on all but the lowest speed. On high they about blow you out.
A www.bigassfans.com fan they are not, but they will do me well.
For those who might have some concern about flicker from the fans interfering with the lights (shutter effect from the blades), I have walked all over the inside at night with all of the lights on (and just partial lights too) and cannot detect any flicker. The fans do hang below the nearest lights, but there is no place in the building where you can get the fans between you and a light, when you are standing on the floor.

I have 2 fans in the 3 bay garage at work. I came in recently after the weekend and one was laying on the floor! The wires were hanging there and the fan blades were bent over. I am glad no one was standing at the metal cabinet when it let go. they have been up there 13 years.

jamms001, Could you please give me some specific point in time, when the Monte Carlo Ceiling Fan may turn into an incredible experience. At a basic starting price of over $200, I would hope to expect a great experience quickly.
I am not aware that their design has greatly changed from the basic Hunter fan of years gone by. I simply loved the wall mount Havana Fans. But again, I would need 10 and at $3-4 hundred apiece it is not in my price range.
Thanks for sharing. I will never look at a ceiling fan in the same light ever again.

This list contains fans whose blade diameters are 60 inches and upward. These are extra-large fans ... Ceiling Fans by Blade Span Size: 10 to 19 Inch Blades, or maybe try to search in google engine i think you can find some little information about your problem..

Thanks for bringing this thread TTT
The HD fan was just what I was looking for. I stopped by after work and it was $69.97. I looked online and it's $59.97 with free shipping. I think I'll wait and see if it goes on sale

I bought a 5 speed garage fan at Menards. It has a 5 speed wall mounted switch. It moves a lot of air, but it is noisy. At the other end of my garage I used a standard 3 speed house fan. It is quiet but doesn't move as much air.............and worst of all, it has a remote control that doesn't work when the garage is cold in the winter just like you would expect from anything with electronics and wireless.
So, it is probably a tradeoff. You can have a quiet house fan that moves less air or you can have a noisier garage fan.
But, don't try wireless remote in the cold. Like all electronics, it doesn't work.

I put an industrial 3 blade 5 speed fan in one end of my garage and a common residential 5 blade 3 speed fan at the other end. The industrial one moves more air, but it makes a lot more noise doing it.
HD and Lowes sell add-on remote controls for ceiling fans. There is a transmitter box that you wire up to the fan and then using the remote you can turn the lights on the fan on/off and control fan speed. Using one of these, all you need is a source of power where you want to install the fan and then you don't have to worry about wiring switches.
