Hunter Ceiling Fan Outdoor Extension Downrods

Hunter All Weather, rust proof, stainless steel construction for use with Hunter Outdoor rated ceiling fans.

Ideally, ceiling fan blades should be 7 to 8 feet from the floor for maximum cooling. For ceilings 9 feet tall or taller, use a downrod to bring the ceiling fan down to the proper height above the floor. Refer to our Fan Facts page for more information on room and ceiling sizes.

Ceilings taller than 9 feet will require a Hunter extension downrod. For example, a 14 foot ceiling would require a five foot extension downrod to position the blades 8 feet above the floor, since you need to allow one foot for the space from the top of the motor to the bottom of the switch housing.

Remember, all Hunter fans use our 3/4” extension downrods for maximum stability and wobble-free performance.

A general formula for calculating downrod length is: ceiling height in feet minus 9’ = downrod length. This formula is based on the fan-to-floor distance of 8 feet plus 1 foot for the dimension of the fan. So if your ceiling height is 12 feet, you need a 3 foot downrod in order to properly position the fan 8 feet from the floor. Using long-length downrods for fan installations actually help stabilize fans and reduce the potential for wobble. Think of a grandfather clock pendulum and its slow, heavy swing versus a smaller clock pendulum with a fast, unsteady swing. Weight and length combine to create stability, reducing wobble, whether it is in a ceiling fan or a clock pendulum.
