Does this fan have a damp rating? (Used on a covered patio)?

I don't know William. But I have mines installed in a Florida room were there's no A/C and it works nicely.

Gary, My concern would be having the fan exposed to moisture. If you live in a dry area this may not be a problem. I live in Florida so it probably is not a good idea here. Mine is installed in my living room.

The advertisement shows it is damp-rated. We have it installed at a picnic shelter.

I don't think it's rated for outdoor use. Generally, whether a fan is rated for outdoor use is stated prominently in the item description.

I am not with the company and can't guarantee that it is rain resistant but i can tell you that we have had this exact fan in the window of my husbands "man cave" for several months and throughout several storms and quite a bit of rain and so far, so good. It has definitely been rained on and is still working great. Hope that helps :-)

i'm not an expert by any means, and i don't know exactly how wet you mean, but if its any help i have mine in a greenhouse where the fan will be exposed to periodic small sprays of water. i had 2 similar fans in there for approx 2 years, working every day, before they gave out. hope that helps.

I have this fan installed on my front porch. It actually does a decent job on the 2 highest settings. The lowest setting is more for looks.

I don't believe this was intended as an outdoor fan. the blades will probably droop after exposure to moisture/humidity. If you found some outdoor fan blades, I would imagine it would work fine on a porch or what not.

It is not damp to the touch but provides moist heat. You have to let it set out after each use and it will recapture moisture from the air for the next use. It doesn't hold heat as long as I would have hoped but it des work.

I don't think so. My past experience has been when using a fan outside it has to be rated for outdoor use. Too much chance for rust, etc. I would see what manufacturer's specs state.

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.

We like our fan. Have it out on our patio. Have not noticed any loud noise. Very quiet! Hope this helps.

Yes. It is a very good fan. I use it under my carport. I live in Louisiana with lots of heat and humidity and it does really well. Good purchase.

I used this fan to move dampness out from under house after a water pipe leak. It is best not to use in early morning and at night time when the humidity is high. It has some automated controls, but I do not trust them and just turn mine off and on when I feel it the best time. You have to have a second open, unblocked vent to draw in drier air and an open vent to mount in over on in for it to work best. As others have said, there is no damper and wind could blow back from the outside if the fan was turned off. For me that is no problem. Good luck.

It works just fine as long as the humidity is not too high. Much more comfortable than just a fan! I fill it with the hose when we use it on the patio, makes filling it up easy.

I have it mounted on a pergula in our patio to provide airflow. It has been out in the weather for more than a year with no apparent problems.

It does a very good job for it´s size and can be wall mounted. I have two of them. How well it does on your patio will depend on how close you place the fan to those needing relief from the heat . Richard
