Order your alumawood patio with a fan beam. As with the rest of the alumawood patio the fan beam must be installed by an expert. All have a direct drive motor which has fewer moving parts than belt drive motors for less maintenance. We had wanted a wider beam wrap but somehow this is.

Using a wire stripper strip the two wires up to 1 1 2 inch. How much overhang if any is acceptable for the fan base to hang past the width of the beam. Step 5 install the ceiling fan onto the beam. Usually the white wire is attached to the motor the black wire is attached to the remaining wiring from the motor and the copper wire is connected to the green ground wire follow manufacturer s wiring.

Fan beams are the most popular alumawood upgrade a ceiling fan will dramatically change the temperature in the hot summer months.
