how long is the down rod that comes with fan?

There were two downrods in the box. According to the instruction manual one is a "standard downrod" and the other is a "minimum length downrod (for close to ceiling mounting only)". I'm sorry but I cannot tell you what the size of the standard one is because we discarded it. The fan is now installed so I measured the exposed space of the minimum length downrod and it is two inches. The instruction manual does not give length specs for either downrod.

This fan might be at 8 feet when installed on your ceiling. As the down rod is 6 inches it self . Hope this info will help you with your decision :0)

I did not use a long down rod, just what came in the box. I will say that the fans were balanced pretty well right out of the box.

It does come with (if I remember correctly) about a 3" and 6" down-rods, anything longer you have to purchase separately (we went with a 12").

I believe it was really short...like 3". I needed a 18" & 36" so had to order the downrod. They also have downrods at Lowe's but wanted the finish to match so ordered with the fan. Hope this helps.

I don't think a rod came with the fan. I purchased a 3ft rod on the same Amazon page as the fan. but I believe anywhere from 2 to 3 foot would be perfect

It can not be installed without a down rod, if that is what you are asking. My fan only had one down rod included with it. I didn't use it because I purchased a 4 ft. rod for my cathedral ceiling. As I recall the one that was included was about 6 inches long. I am very pleased with the look and performance of the fan. The only change I made was to buy white glass globes to replace the original because I felt they were too dark.

This fan comes with short down rod about 3 inches for mounting close to the ceiling, but it has to be mounted with a down rod (two included). If you have a regular flat ceiling, it should work fine. If your ceiling is sloped, you'll need a longer down rod (sold separately).

A down rod give you space between the ceiling and the blades of the fan. If you have a low ceiling, you might need a 6" down rod or none at all. I have a very high ceiling. I used a 36" down rod to bring the fan lower into the room. There are guidelines for measuring how low a fan should be. With the one I used, I have plenty of head room. The fan looks beautiful and the balance in the room is right.

I bought the extention rod but ended up using the 6 inch down rod. The 6 inch rod and the fact that the fan in on the bottom of the light puts the fan blades about 18' down from the ceiling. Unless you have a really high ceiling 9' plus. You don't need the extention rod.
