Hi All, I've got some rental houses that cater mostly to less-well-to-do folks. They tend to be rather hard in the wear-n-tear department. They are positively murder on ceiling fans. What I think would work would be a "ducted" 52 in ceiling fan. Perhaps "ducted" is not the right term. What I envision is the blades enclosed in a 6 inch steel band around the sides -- along with a metal blade guard on the bottom. The idea is to keep items from contacting the blades. I've seen a very small version of this in Lowes, but I've had no luck in finding something bigger. Does anyone make something like this?? Thanks!

ducted ceiling fan?

Excellent idea. A lot of people have followed that path.

I dunno tho ..... I try to provide live-able places. I would not rent anything I would not live in. I'm just "bent" over the poor quality of products that can't take abuse ..... it's not like manufacturers don't know what's happening.....

It's the Harbor Freight Syndrome, cheapest China price gets the sale.

That's a very useful fan. I have several. I only have a ceiling fan above my bed. They are the same price at Amazon, with free shipping when the order is over $35.
