We have a ceiling beam wrap that is 5 5 wide and our fan base is 6 5 wide.

With basic electrical knowledge and simple tools you can tackle this diy project.
The steps are laid out below to teach you the basics.
If you have a solid wooden beam running along the ceiling in your room onto which you want to install a ceiling fan take heart.
How much overhang if any is acceptable for the fan base to hang past the width of the beam.
So it will hang out past the beam wrap by 0 5 on each side.
It s not an impossible task.
We had wanted a wider beam wrap but somehow this is what we got.
Step 1 measure the ceiling to floor distance for blade clearance and precautions.
This means somehow mounting the ceiling fan junction box in the center of the beam and attaching the light to it.

Problem is since the junction box will be face mounted to the bottom of the beam the light and its shroud will be offset and no longer be flush with the beam itself.
