Recommendations to install a ceiling fan @ 20'?

I can't see my wife climbing up there to do that so good luck with that

I'm a fan of "have the wife do it." Here's mine 13 feet up (10' step ladder) trimming a door shaft. (Her choice on the ladder technique. ...kids, don't do this at home.)

They get used it.


Also my suggestion for installing the fan.

Yikes! I can't even get mine out of bed. Of course, I never actually tried to...

As to fans, check out Haiku Fans, a subsidiary of the famous Big *** Fans Co. Top notch IMHO.

Also 84" seems way over-sized. I have a single 60" in a 19'x25' x 19' high room and it has plenty of air movement.

This would work.

Just man up and climb that 16' ladder like that picture above, dragging that massively heavy fan up with you (arm extended out so the blade doesn't get stuck in a rung of the ladder).

What exactly is the problem here?

I guess you need to figure out if it's possible to even get a scissor lift into your living room, if so that's what I'd rent. I installed three at 16' in my shop and it was great to have the lift.

One man lift. I've used them before. You roll them in, extended and level the outriggers and climb in the basket and up you go.

I think they go up to like 24'. They sway a bit more than the regular platform scissor lift, but they are still safe.

I'd expect the 2500lbs of the lift and the typical set of steps or stairs into most houses would make a lift wildly impractical. That's assuming ypu have a door wide enough and a straight shot to the living room.

I was about to raise the BS flag on that weight claim...then looked it up. Holy **** those things are dense. A 19ft JLG that's 32" wide weighs over 2700lbs.

Is the air circulated enough ? Is the hot air and cold air mixed ? Is there any science as to the location of the fan itself ? Mid air column, the top near the ceiling ? Any tech knowledge beyond what seems obvious ? Flow rating ? That Hunter page doesnt really cut it with big rooms and high ceiling. Using their point click menu they selected a fan with a pull chain %$#$%

Attic above? Winch permanent install to raise and lower?

Scissor lift is what the industrial electricians that I use and my employer use use. That’s a lot of use.

Seriously though scissor lift.

Rental Masonry Scaffolding get extra planks, makes for a sturdy & square set up!
3 sections plus a top rail

I have an old Skyjack 3220. I've never weighed it but the owners manual says it weighs 3840 pounds.
