Can this fan be used outdoor

Hi, I don't believe it can. There are decorative hole openings in the housing unit just above the blades.

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

No, this fan is only for indoors. It is so very good looking that the outdoors will ruin it.

You should only install fans outside that are specifically rated for outdoor use. Try searching for "outdoor fans" or "light kits outdoor fans" to find appropriate models. Moisture can cause expensive circuit damage.

I love this fan, but it is not an outdoor fan. I have three of them now, and I would buy five more for my porch if it were rated for outdoors.

Yes, it could be used outdoors. It would deteriorate quickly because it is not designed to be weatherproof. I do not think you would be happy with the heat output because you would lose the combustion gases which have most if the heat. I would look for a radiant heater for this application.

I keep my fan outdoors on a covered patio. I seldom turn it off in hot weather. My neighbor also has several of these fans on his patio. No problems so far.

No it will not fly outdoors. I found that even a ceiling fan affects its flight.

It is make for indoor use I do believe but depends on how well it would be shielded from rain. I have similar fans outside in our pool house that are in a screened enclosure that have operated for almost 20 years with no problem other than the dirt builds up on the blades fast. Keep it clean and away from direct rain and it will be OK.

I love my fan. It has stood up to a year of Oklahoma weather, but I've installed it under a roof. I don't know how it will do where it is exposed like under a pergola. Sorry.

I would not mount them on the outside just for the reason that it would shorten the life of the fan as it would more than likely get water in it even if it were protected. If your opening is large enough to trim a little of the sheet metal from the edges of the fan and mount it "recessed" from the outside wall face a few inches it will be out of the weather especially with a decorative cover. That is the method I used and have had no issues.

I don't believe that this fan is rated for outdoor use, but that is not where I was installing this fan.

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.

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

Not to my knowledge..it is installed in my living room...there are specific fans that state indoor/outdoor usage..their motors are self-contained from the elements.

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.

Outdoor use is fine only under circumstances where the humidity is very low and the fan is never exposed to rain or moisture. It certainly moves enough air for outdoor use.
