<p class="MsoNormal">Usually when you use fans they move slowly for effect rather than fast enough to make a lot of breeze. But what others have said is true you need clearance for the fans and to plan around other scenic elements for them to fly in and out.
Also, usually the rods that drop from the ceiling plate to the fan that are commercially available may not be long enough and you will have to add extra wiring to power them as the leads may not be long enough. 96” fans, are they Big Ass Fans?

fans and the down pipe on the fan causing issues. The battens have to move in and out. Thoughts?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
