Looking for a ceiling fan for my 28' x 36' x 13 ' pole barn. Having a tough time finding something. Looking for it to be reversible since I want to push the hot air down in the winter from my forced air heater, a 56" - 60" model, and just a white three blade commercial unit, no light needed. I can't seem to find much.

I think you'll find that blowing down will only feel like a cold draft. Blowing up and forcing the warm air across the ceiling and down the walls "stirring" the air will be more comfortable.
This has been my experience, at least with 16' ceilings.

The 10’ fake big *** at Home Depot is pretty good. Reversible with remote. Quiet. Alu blades.

Look on FB Marketplace maybe. I bought a nice 52” five blade Hunter a month ago with a “bad” light to use in my machine shop room from a lady for $25, because the light kit did not work. I found that the wires to the light kit were never attached and removed it anyway for my use.

That’s a deal.

I'm looking at putting 2 - or possibly 4 - of these in my shop. I'm 40x60x16. I will wire for 4, but install 2 catty-corner and see how it is, then add the other 2 if I feel that they are needed.

Parrot Uncle 100" Fan

If you're feeling a bit more spendy - Parrot Uncle 120" Fan

Honestly, I haven't decided on which one yet.

I have Casa Vieja fans in my garage

They are 84inch and it’s been like 8 years. I let em run for days at a time during summer! metal blades and sturdy motor assembly

look at the CFM specs to see the amount of air flow, They work better if the are 12 to 15inches blow a hard ceiling to let air move around
