can it support a ceiling fan?

I would suggest putting up a seperate support beam to hang a ceiling fan from.

I can provide a non-expert opinion to the question "can the Palram Feria Patio Cover support a ceiling fan?". Firstly, note that the acrylic panels which make up most of the roof are quite flexible, so I would not suggest attaching anything to these. However, the aluminum rafters which support the panels are quite sturdy and I am confident that these would support the weight of a ceiling fan. The rafters are about only 2" across and so are not wide enough to take the standard electrical box to which a ceiling fan is mounted. If I were to do this on my patio cover, I would probably install some kind of cross-brace between two adjacent rafters and then mount the fan on that cross brace.... you might loose a little in the aesthetic aspect, but you would have a more solid platform for the fan. Then design of the structure is quite clever, the rafters have a slot running the full length into which the head of a bolt is inserted in order to interconnect different parts of the structure. this could be used to affix the cross-brace without need for drilling holes in the rafter. Electrical wiring could be routed through the channels of the structure during assembly so it would be hidden for the most part.

it is made specifically to mount to a ceiling fan. It will not directly and neatly mount to the ceiling. Sorry

It can,but you'll probably need to buy a longer rod for clearance? I bought a longer rod anyway for taller ceiling.... hope this helps

Yes. It's a pretty light, too. I already had a fan in place but needed a light. This worked very well.

Yes. The main thing to consider is how to attach the housing, and whether your ceiling can support the weight of the fixture, or if another piece of assembly is required to hold it right.

Yes, you can use a support rod. I used a 24" one for mine. It is not a flush mount fan and comes with a short rod in the package.

If the ceiling is low it may help some. I found the fan kinda weak, I think due to the foam fan blades, and only used it once. Personally I would not recommend this fan.

doubtful, but depends on what type of lighting you are expecting. I have two of these fans in a room about 24' x 19' and at it brightest it does the job for general purposes.

No it would not work with a ceiling fan. And it looks really cheap, so you aren't missing out!

No it can not. But, if you cut down the extension rod to the minimum length it will actually hang down less than a traditional looking flush mounted fan. What I did is a little bit of trial and error, trimming down the rod a bit at a time until i had it as short as possible. What limits you is the upper "cone" must go on first and then you must hook the fan to the ceiling bracket prior to securing the upper cone. A little tricky to try to explain, but I think I got the rod down to 2.5" or so in length.

The fan needs to be hung from a box. It would be possible to swag it, you would need to design some features not included in the box. It's best to hang this from a power box.

I am looking at my fan right now. It is obvious that if it were mounted on a sloping ceiling that sloped more than a tiny amount- say 5 degrees, the fan blades would hit the ceiling. You could, of course, mount it on a rod that dropped from the ceiling, but the rod would likely sway as the blades of the fan start to spin. Thus, you would have to brace the rod somehow, but doing so would ruin the aesthetics of the fan. The only solution I can think of would be to have a carpenter install a beam near the apex of the roof- kind of like a tie rod-- and mount your fan to that.

There is no bracket to attach this fan to a wall. You may be able to build a small shelf and sit the fan on the shelf.

it can be done ...but with the slant on your ceiling may produce a wobble in the rotation of the fan

Hi, I'm sure that you could use the swag kit. I will attach a web site that may help you. http://www.doityourself.com/stry/instaling-ceiling-fan-with-swag-kit. Hope this helps

I'm not sure, but my husband things there may be an end cap that you can just hang the fan.

According to the description tab on amazon: " Fixture support of 150 pounds or less on 16-inch centers and 50 pounds or less on 24-inch centers, acceptable for fan support of 70 pounds or less." I put a good deal of my weight on it when I installed and did not feel it budge. I would say you're safe to mount 40lbs.
