Converting a Pedestal Fan to Wall Mount.
Here is a really cheap pedestal fan I converted to wall mount.
Removing the Fan.
Easy really. Remove a screw and pop the fan assembly off.
Removing the Base.
4 screws to remove and the shaft is off the base!
Cutting the Shaft.
Hacksaw time folks! I reduced the length of the shaft to allow for wall mounting.
Mounting the Shaft to the Wall.
I drilled holes and installed rawl plugs and screwed the shaft onto its new position. My hammer drill and masonry bits were instrumental in this step.
Wall Switch.
This allows the fan to be turned on or off easily.
Putting in the Fan Assembly.
The assembly slid onto the horizontally mounted shaft. I wired the supply in the ceiling.
Completion!
Now I have a wall mounted fan that helps keep cool this tiny room I tend to spend some time in.
