fan retainer on post



It gets hot as hell in here.  So we bought a big fan but had no where to mount it.  For starters, I don't know that I'd want to drill an I-beam that holds up the roof (not that it would be easy).  But the flat edge of the beam faces the wrong way.  But otherwise, the beam is the perfect placement.  So I decided that using compression is the best answer.  Held two pieces of 2x6 together with huge threaded rod and used lag bolts to mount the fan.  Nothing has budged an inch!
