Mounting ceiling fan box to steel pole awning?
Living in Miami means dealing with mosquitos. So... I'd like to install a ceiling fan under my awning over the back patio to help keep them away. But, I'm stuck on trying to figure out how to mount the fixture box to the poles. Would appreciate any help, tips or tricks.
Here is a picture of the underside of the awning:

Strut
Use something like this to bridge between two trusses. Secure to trusses with u-bolts. Attach fan box to strut.
