Quick answer
An outdoor fan must be suitable for the degree of exposure at the actual mounting position. Ceiling height, structure, blade clearance, wind and control location should be assessed before installation.
What to know before you book
Air movement can make a covered entertaining area more comfortable, but outdoor placement demands a product designed for the conditions.

Frequently asked questions
Can an indoor fan be used in a covered patio?
Only if the manufacturer specifies it is suitable for that location. Covered outdoor areas can still expose equipment to moisture and corrosion.
Will an outdoor fan cool the air?
A fan moves air and can improve how comfortable people feel; it does not refrigerate the space.
