is this fan able for outdoor use

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.

Hi Michael. Thank you for your inquiry. This ceiling fan is UL Damp Rated. Usually, a fan should be UL Wet Rated for the outdoors. Although, we cannot recommend it for the outdoors, you may be able to put it under a porch or outdoors that would be protected from rain and the other elements. Please make sure you refer to their warranty. Hope this helps! LightsOnline

This unit is rated for outdoor use. I use mine for working on motorcycle in the hot Texas summer. If you can get a bit of shade you will find it does a pretty good job of cooling things off. It is humidity dependent so it will not cool as much in humid weather. When it is hot and raining I just run the fan. I bought some liquid additive to keep the tank and filter from getting nasty.

I do not think that is an outdoor fan. We purchased it for the inside of the house.

I don't believe it is specifically designed for outdoor use, but if it is used in a semi-enclosed area like a screened-in porch where it is not directly exposed to rain, it should work okay. I've seen similar fans mounted in the ceiling of front porches. Make sure it is properly grounded and powered through a GFCI breaker.

yes it can be use outdoor. But keep in mind its rust resistance and not rust prove. So, eventually after years of usage it will rust.

I can't say for certain since I haven't tried it outdoors. But it does look like thing is sealed up pretty good so it might be ok. If you decide to try it you should probably put some outdoor caulk around where the cord connects to the fan. That's the one place I really wouldn't want to get wet.

The fan is good in damp but not wet conditions.As long as it is out of the rain & snow it should be okay. We have it I the house & love it.

Since the information on this unit says nothing about it being rated for outside, I'm making an assumption it's only good for indoor use. I have this unit in my master bedroom and like it very much. Nice looking, fairly quiet and the closest ceiling hugger fan I've found to date.

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

Not sure it's meant for outdoor use. I would think it would be fine as long as it doesn't get rwined on.

I wouldn't personally use it outdoors . It's kind of noisey too, so if you do get it get a controller to adjust the fan speed

Yes, this item is primarily an electric fan. The blades rotate inside the housing so the exterior does not move at all.

Don't see why it could not be used outdoors, But keep in mind this unite is not waterproof! These are a excellent unite & move a considerable amount of air. I own two.

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.

I certainly wouldn't want a fan such as this outside in rain just like most electrical appliances. I don't even see certification for use outside be it under covered conditions like patio even. I have use one for inside protected garage tho and its much hard on them. Nickel coating isn't like stainless or hard chrome for that usage.

By design this is an indoor only fan so it should only be used in fully enclosed indoor type space with walls, insulation etc... For outdoor use you would want a fan labeled "indoor/outdoor", a fan like this would be constructed with ABS blades instead of wood blades and the metal finishes and corrosion resistance properties would be more appropriate for an outdoor setting.
