OPTIONAL – FAN MOUNT
a)
Use a qualified electrician
for rough in during pergola
construction. You will need a
loop of electrical wire pulled
into one of the rafters that the
fan mount will be attached to.
b)
NOTE:
The mount can be
installed anywhere from the
top to the bottom of the rafter.
For more head clearance
with the fan, install hangers
towards the top of the rafter.
Ensure that you leave enough
room for the skirt to slide
over the rafter hanger.
c)
Once height is determined,
attach rafter hangers
horizontally with fasteners
labeled "fan mount."
d)
Carefully drill through the
center hole in the rafter hanger
into the rafter to access the
loop of wire for the fan.
e)
Pull wire through the hole
in the rafter hanger.
f)
Measure the clearance
between the rafter hangers.
g)
Cut aluminum and vinyl 2x6
piece 1/8" shorter than the
distance between hanger
plates, to ensure enough
room to fit the 2x6 into place.
Test fit the 2x6 between the
hangers, trim if necessary.
h)
Once 2x6 is the proper length,
mark and drill a hole for the
wire to come through the 2x6.
i)
Slide skirts over each end
of the 2x6 and test fit
the mount in place.
j)
NOTE:
The skirts must be
turned the correct way to
fit properly into the rafter
hangers. If they do not lock
into place, covering the
hanger, try removing them and
flipping them 180 degrees.
k)
Fish wire through and out
of the 2x6 carefully to avoid
damaging the sheath.
l)
Fasten each end of the 2x6 with
fasteners labeled "fan mount."
m)
Slide the skirts into place.
n)
The mount is now
ready for your fan.
