Hey guys, quick question! I am doing the finish on this house that has a 25'6" ceiling where the customer requested the ceiling fan be mounted 11' AFF. Unable to find a downrod that length I have done what others have suggested and made my own out of 3/4" IMC. Now the question I have is, will the fan mounting bracket that came with the fan be sufficient to carry the extra weight? The bracket will be lagged directly into a 20"x20" beam, of course with a box cut into the beam. The fan is 24.8 pounds, the IMC is 11.9 pounds for a total of 36.7 pounds. The bracket that came with the fan (pictured) looks like one of those lowes brand brackets that have a listed capacity of 25 pounds.
Am I overthinking this and should just go for it or should I search for a aftermarket heavier duty mount?
Thanks
