Not an answer, but a question...did you find a fan which is UL rated for wet locations? I'm looking for one that will be on our patio outdoors as well and can't seem to find anything here on Amazon.

Can be used outdoors, but unit is not waterproof, not to left out or used in wet conditions.

I use mine in a covered patio outside so it is not exposed to the elements. Be waterproof but they do work pretty good they function very well very happy with mine

No,but you could use this on your patio for an occassion just don't let it get wet or leave it out overnight.

I would not use this outdoors unless it was protected from water/moisture. Fire/injury risk if it gets wet, not sealed to be waterproof.

I would say possibly.., ONLY if it was protected from direct moisture..and directly from the top and sides..,I wouldn't chance it getting wet, although it is constructed pretty well I don't think water and this would last too long. It's a expensive up front unit..although the payoff is great. I would have it loosely "enclosed" in some sort of housing that would protect it from the rain, let it breathe, if you will..-I know they advise against this- it may be a heat sync issue- burnout,But, take a chance possibly, if you like, it's all new. .I will at some point ..

If it could be kept dry. I have one under a carport area where it cant get wet and have had no problems.

I don't think so. I purchased it for indoor use and it does not appear that it would hold up to wet weather.

I wouldn't recommend for outdoor use unless it was a covered area. I don't think the wood could handle any rain and it's not heavy enough to stay standing in wind or even a strong breeze.

I took it that way. Ours has worked well on our patio and has been fully wet many times. We even ordered the Westinghouse remote and wired it up to work on that and all seems fine so far. Best wishes!

I think it could be used outdoors. It stands up to moisture fine. But it is a foam, and foams break down eventually. Sunlight would speed up that process.

I do not think it would be reliable for outside use. Sun would deteriorate the plastic material, and I doubt it would be water tight, so rain could get in.

I don't think so, we have a patio cover so the rain hasn't got to it. But judging by the quality of it, I wouldn't say its weatherproof

Depends on where you would place it outside. It should not be exposed to an area that can et wet, such as rain or snow because it is paper. But this is great quality and looks so realistic. Maybe if you have a patio or a place where it can be seen without exposing it to consistent water, I wouldn't see why you can't.

Definitely. Mine sits on a swing in a totally exposed deck. We have been getting a lot of rain and every time it dries completely. Weatherproof all the way. I love it.

It is not meant to get wet. However, there is someone who shared pictures on Facebook after they accidentally ran it through a project through the dishwasher and it held up. If you are going to put it outside I would suggest sealing it with something waterproof.. or weather resistant.

I don't see why you couldn't use it outside. It might not hold up as well, but they are not that expensive. If it doesn't hold up to the weather buy a new one.
