Have a good week!

You didn't mention the height of your ceiling but there are quite a few models with lights for sloped ceiling.

You still have to have something sturdy to mount the electrical box and ceiling fan to.

Who told you that those horizontal supports could be removed? I would be concerned that the rafters are not deep enough to support the roof without the ceiling joists

.

I would not select a fan with a light ever, and certainly not for a ceiling that low.

The fan must be rated for outdoor use or the blades will warp.

You can spend $150 or $1,000 depending on what you select.

You can use a Hunter Fan if you want a vintage appearance.

Check out Big Ass fans.

Beverly, contractor said that the joists were just used for nailing in cardboard ceiling tiles; will definitely double check that. Ceiling height where current light fixture is is only 7.5 feet. ( bottom of horizontal beam), but will be able to go higher once beam is removed.

I like the idea of a fan bc it gets hot in there, but I don’t love the look of the fans. Other option is to do recessed lighting with a flush mount fan

I would do recessed (or puck) lights and a modern simple fan with no light. The light fixtures on fans usually suck as lights IMO.

People the ceiling is currently 7.5’ high. Even a ceiling hugger fan will be tricky if the dropped ceding has to stay

• You cannot use a hugger fan as it can only be attached with a flat ceiling.
• You will need to attach a fan electrical box to the ceiling. If you use a pancake box, it won't hang below the surrounding beadboard
• The fan you select must (a) be sloped-ceiling compatible, (b) have a downrod that (c) allows the fan to hang no less than 7' above the floor (d) and has blades are not so long that they strike the ceiling on the low side.
• If you use a fan with a light select one whose light is shrouded (example) so light does not shine through the blades.
• You might consider a wall fan instead.
• I'd consider constructing angle boxes attached to the roof to which electrical boxes and downlights lights (example) parallel to the floor could be attached. The lights would be located away from the fans so light wouldn't shine through the blades.

Wdccruise, thanks for this info!

Jane, thank you.

Geeze Beverly, I only said "check out Big Ass fans"; I wasn't saying "get a Big Ass fan". Checking it out to see if it fits your situation was a suggestion, not the Lord's gospel!

At $807, the least-expensive outdoor Big Ass Haiku fan is not only expensive but its 52" blade diameter may be too large to not hit the sloped ceiling on the low side.
