Is this an outdoor rated fan and can I order a 12" down rod from you?

Hello! This fan is rated for indoor use only. Our sister vendor, Lighting and Locks, has the 12" down rod available for sale: http://www.amazon.com/Minka-Aire-DR512-DKG-12IN-DOWN/dp/B0057SLQ1M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400595093&sr=8-1&keywords=DR512-DKG

Andrew, my ceiling is sloped and it is 11-ft where we put the ceiling fan. It only comes with a short down rod. I did purchase a longer down rod from a local distributor. I think it is 2 ft, but I can't remember exactly. It was under $20. The fan is great. Our electrician used everything that came with the fan even with the ceiling sloped and it works perfect. Only have to purchase a longer down rod. You must get the casablanca down rod. The others from the big box stores will not work properly. Hope this helps.

We installed it under a shed roof over our patio. It's about 10 feet high at the mount point. The down rod that comes with the fan is only about 4-5 " long. Went to home depot because they carry Hunter down rods. However, they didn't have anything that was close in color. Went to Lowes - they have Harbor Breeze down rods. Surprisingly, they had a 12" Harbor Breeze down rod that matched perfectly. Also had various sizes if you need one longer. No problem with the substitution of brands.

Hello! There are close-to-ceiling kits available, but they require the shortest down rod that's included in the fan, the 3.5" one, and it won't really be too much shorter with the kit installed than with the shortest down rod. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804.

Hi ScreamingMimi (great name),Thanks for the question. This fan includes a 4.5" downrod already. You also have the option of getting a longer downrod, or a shorter one (there is only one option for a shorter downrod at 2.5"). Any additional downrods must be purchased separately. If you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

This fan can be installed with a down rod. I have it installed in our family room with an 18 in down rod.

Hi Dianna, thanks for the question. It's a good one. This fan has been designed and built to withstand outdoor elements. Most fans are meant for indoor use, and therefore are not built with the Oil-Bath Lubrication System, weather-resistant blades, stainless steel hardware, indestructible cast-iron housing, and the Hunter Original Motor-the most powerful motor available. All of this is factored into not only the value of the fan, but the pricing as well. We hope this helps Dianna. Please, if you have any other questions, reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

It comes with two down rods. Both are less than a foot. I went to Lowes and bought a 3' extension. It looks great in covered patio!

If I understand correctly what you are asking, the answer is yes. I did not use a down rod on mine because it is a 9 foot patio ceiling. But there is a cap that covers the wiring and screws into the ceiling that I believe the down rod has to connect to.

You may be able to find a shorter downrod, but i think you need it. The fan sits pretty close to the ceiling as is, with the included downrod. Good luck

You have to order a down rod separately. There are different lengths available.

This ceiling fan comes with a 3.5 and a 6 inch. Longer down rods in the same finish can be purchased at an added cost.

This fan is not a flush mount fan. You can use a down rod with it. We used a 12" down rod. We've been very happy with this fan.

I don't believe that this fan is rated for outdoor use, but that is not where I was installing this fan.

From floor to bottom of light fixture is 6'11". Do not have the answer to the down rod question. Fans were hung by an electrician. If there was more than 1 rod size I was unaware.
