is this fan suitable for outdoors installation?

I bought six of them, but they are all installed indoors. They are gorgeous, absolutely silent fans. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question regarding outdoor installation.

Yes. It is an outdoor unit and cannot be installed inside due to ventilation requirements.

Apparently yes. Manufacturer says, "When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. That means yes (I think). Also, another reviewer installed it in a wall to the outside. Don't know about that myself - I mounted mine in a previous ceiling location, but it's a very good, very quiet fan.

Definitely not. I wouldn't use it even in a protected area where subject to either temperature changes or humidity changes of any extent. Strictly an inside fan.

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.

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.

Assuming the fan wil be protected from the elements [rain, wind and heat] this fan would be ideal. Its rustic tones draws the eye to the fan in our living room and receives nothing but compliments.

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.

The fan is not waterproof. So I would not do that unless you take it down for rainy days.

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

I've had this for so long now I've forgotten if this was an inside/outside fan. Best to ask the mfg to be sure. Sorry.

I own 2 of these fans and installed both of them fairly easy. I don't think it's rated for outdoor use but I don't see why you couldn't be. So far they have been great fans

I have owned 2 of these fans over the years & I love them. Both of mine were installed indoors in my family room . As long as it won't get weather on it, I think it would work in the space you are asking about.

No. This fan is design for a residential, light commercial installation and is resistant to humidity, only.You should search for an industrial ventilation fan ( or fume hood) and sit down before you check the price. Hope this helps.

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

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

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.
