Default Mount new ceiling fan at peak of cathedral ceiling

I want to add a ceiling fan it the peak where the two ceiling planes meet,
about
14 feet from the floor.

My tentative plan is to screw a 6" square peice of of 2x6 into the roof
truss at
the center. Then trim it in nicely and mount the can for the fan mount.
(There is another truss system (roof) above the ceiling truss system that
allows
access for wiring)


Anyone else have a good/better idea?


Something along those lines is what I always see in this type of room.

As long as you can get the wire to it, use a fan rated box and securely
attach it to the joist without cutting the joist, I see no problems with
your plans.
