If you have a covered porch you could probably put it outdoors, but you will have to make sure it never gets hit by rain. I think you would be better off buying a fan that is specifically made for outdoor use. This one is not.

Outdoor rated fans are better suited for high humidity settings like covered porches or decks. They are made of materials that will withstand the elements better than an indoor rated fan.

Since it is marketed as an outdoor fan I would say probably yes. But we put ours in the shed for the winter and when it is going to rain or storm so it doesn't get blown over or knocked around.

No. We ordered it for that reason and while the online description was not clear, the directions/instructions inside the box were very clear that it was for INDOOR use only. We returned the fan since we needed an outdoor use fan.

No. I believe it can only be used outside. I've only used it outside and it works great.

This fan is wet rated. It is meant for outdoor use. One of the few you could actually use on a perrgola.

I doubt that it is rated for outdoor use. Perhaps in a weather-protected enclosure you could.

The documentation that came with Hunter Fan 53091 states that the fan is rated for INDOOR use. There are other models that are rated for outdoor use but please look up the manufacturer's warnings. Some outdoor fans are rated for DAMP conditions while others are rated for WET conditions. Please do your research before purchasing your outdoor fan.

It is not intended for outside use although it is rated for humidity 20-80% and thus might be able to be used in a covered porch for example. The strict answer is no though.

No way, this is an indoor fan only. There are some good outdoor fans at Lowes.com

Hello! Unfortunately, this particular fan is not rated for wet locations. Monte Carlo does have a similar looking item that is rated for outdoor use. That number is #5WF42BK. Please let me know if I can help in any other way.Lighting and LocksBeth

It is a great fan, but no: it is not waterproof. I would not recommend using it where it will be splashed, rained upon, etc.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend using this fan outdoors. It's not a very heavy duty fan to start with and is very cheaply constructed so I wouldn't use it outside.

Yes the fan can be used out doors. If you are concerned about moisture effecting the blades spray some clear shellac.

This fan would not be useful for a screened in porch. As it is a fan designed to provide a heating source for a room, having screened walls would defeat the purpose of the fan. Additionally, the fan is not an exterior rated waterproofed fan. For the cost of the fan, you would be much better served purchasing an exterior fan for cooling purposes on a porch. Should you close in the walls then this fan would provide cooling and heat as you wish.

Sorry this took so long to get back to you but yes it is for outdoor use. My previous one lasted 15 years outside in Atlanta, Ga.

Yes I only use the fan outside. You have to put the tube on the fan if you want to mist. It is a very good fan I love it outside or in its really powerful.
