Hi! This is Robert from CeilingFan.com. Do you know what size downrod you need for your
fan? Well let’s look at this together. This downrod chart helps us to determine which
downrod size you need for your fan based on the height of the ceiling. For a ceiling below
8 feet, we recommend a flushmount or hugger fan. This is a fan without a downrod. This
will keep the blades 7 feet off the ground. And in most states, code requires that the
blades be at least seven feet off the ground. On an 8 foot ceiling, we recommend the standard
pole which is a 3 ½, 4 ½ inch downrod that comes with the fan. This will keep the blades
at least 7 feet off the ground. We also recommend the standard downrod on
a 9 foot ceiling. However, some manufacturers will include a 6 inch downrod. If your fan
includes a 6 inch downrod, we recommend it on a 9 foot ceiling.
This downrod, a 12 inch downrod, is perfect for a 10 foot ceiling.
For an 11 foot ceiling, we recommend an 18 inch downrod and this will have your blades
8 ½ feet off the ground. And this 2 foot pole is perfect for a 12 foot
ceiling. Likewise on the 13 foot ceiling we recommend
a 36 inch downrod, and for a 14 foot ceiling we recommend a 48 inch downrod, and both of
these will keep your blades 9 feet off the ground. There are longer sizes available for
higher ceilings. If you’re overwhelmed by all the information
that we gave you, please call us at CeilingFan.com. Our number is (877) 724-2326. Thank you!
