For a 10 foot ceiling, do I need a longer drop down bar than the one that's included?

I can not make that choice for you however, even though I have a 10 foot ceiling I chose not to use the drop down bar it came with and mounted the fan the regular way. I am very happy with the look of the product and the blade pitch. My only issue is I can hear a humming sound from 2 fans and 3 of them do not rotate as fast as the other 2 even though they are set up exactly the same with the same speed.

No. I've been trying to figure out a way to shorten as well. My ceiling is avg. around 8-10 ft and it looks just fine. The reason I wanted to shorten so I could shorten certain ones not all.

It does not need to be 10 feet - there are 3 bars that go across the top (interconnect), and you need at least two of them, which would be about 6 feet.

Paul, This bar has plenty of room for you. I installed in out basement with 9' ceilings and works great. Hope this helps. Mark

You will have to purchase longer chain to suit your ceiling. We have a 12 foot ceiling.

Since the ceiling support rod that comes with the package wasn't adjustable besides the standard height, I had to also go to the local hardware store and purchase a new one. I bought one that was fully threaded and matched up the pieces to get the right diameter. You should be able to buy a fairly long rod if you choose to solve the problem this way and just switch out the standard rod with a new one.

10 ft will probably work, but in may not be very sturdy unless you get some L brackets and anchor it to a wall. I have a 8ft ceiling and it holds well when set up next to a wall. A 10 ft ceiling will require you use the extra pvc pipe included and you will have a 2ft exposed pvc pipe showing. My cats love it and swing around the tree, the carpet is wearing, but I plan to wrap rope around it later.

Don't forgt the incline... at 10% it will reduce your ceiling clearance by around 3-4 inches

No it shouldn't matter. I bought both and they both were interchangeable on my ceilings.

You are given a lot of length on the cords. I have 10' ceilings as well and had to cut the cords shorter.

I have mine installed about 10" from the ceiling and it looks great! I am sure 8" would work just as well.

A down rod give you space between the ceiling and the blades of the fan. If you have a low ceiling, you might need a 6" down rod or none at all. I have a very high ceiling. I used a 36" down rod to bring the fan lower into the room. There are guidelines for measuring how low a fan should be. With the one I used, I have plenty of head room. The fan looks beautiful and the balance in the room is right.

We also questioned wether we could add an extension bar and searched the manufactures web site and found that they do have longer support bars. But we never purchased the extension aswe had already installed the light/fan and had cut the wires. At the time it seemd strange that the wires were so long, but on reflection I now know why, they are for the longer bar. Hope this helps.

We have 10 foot vaulted ceilings and got the 24 inch extension down rod and it is well out the way for our average height family. I am 5' 10"

I don't know the highest ceiling we have done so far is 10'. I would contact manufacturer

The length from bar to bar is 3 feet. The adjustable extensions on either end expand an additional 10 inches. Just be sure not to hang too much on them or unit might lean and tip over.
