    Windward III ceiling fan
    I recently purchased a Windward III. My house has a highly sloped ceiling. The canopy that comes with the fan would not work because it was for a normal flat ceiling. I went back to Home Depot and purchased the 2 canopies that they carry for sloped ceilings. Neither were large enough to contain the remote that needs to go inside the canopy. I have had the electrician out here 3 times trying to get this installed. Does any company make extra large canopies for sloped ceilings?
    I would appreciate any help or advice you might be able to provide.
    Thanks

    The normal fan canopy should work for vaulted ceilings up to a certain pitch. How steep is your ceiling?
