Can this model be used on a screened porch?

Absolutely. However, it's heavy. Make sure there enough support for it. The lighting is very cold, I would prefure a warmer light. I use my reset lighting more, but the fan is amazing

I have this fan in my kitchen. If your porch is completely waterproof it may work but if there may be water near the fan I would not take a chance. I will tell you the replacement bulbs for this fan are not available anywhere but Hunter fan. They last about a year. If you buy this fan you should contact Hunter to purchase bulbs ahead of time since it takes about two weeks to receive them.

A screened porch is "outside" even when there's a roof. "Outside" = humidity. Humidity + Oxygen = rust (for ferrous materials) and corrosion (for other components). Therefore, unless a product indicates that it can be installed "outside" or in high humidity areas (bathrooms, e.g.) the default installation location for any electrical or decorative product is "inside", and away from any potential for high humidity.Home Depot sells a brushed nickel "outdoor" lamp (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-Bay-Brushed-Nickel-1-Light-Outdoor-Cottage-Lantern-BOA1691H-BN/202022740?N=5yc1vZc7qq) and even it will corrode - outdoors & sheltered under a roof, but not from humidity + Oxygen.

I have 4 of these fans. Because if the acrylic blades I would assume if it is protected from direct moisture it would be fine. It is very heavy, so needs to be really supported due to high wind, I would think. We have one light bulb out andCan't Find replacement bulb for it locally and will have to be ordered. I would contact manufacturer to see if outside placement voids the warranty.

I use mine on a covered porch and haven't had any problems... but there is good air flow across the smoker. If there isn't good ventilation... I would expect problems. This is a smoker, it puts out a lot of smoke. Besides thick smoke being unpleasant to be in... when hot enough... and thick enough... smoke can become flammable. If it were me... I would still own one... I'd just figure out a way to vent the smoke.

Yes. Absolutely. I thYes absolutely. We have used it in our porch and worked great.

I would think so. I have it in two places in my house, but I'm sure it would work on your porch just as well!!

Mine was in a screened porch under heavy shade trees. I would not want it rained on or in strong sun in order to protect the wood and prevent color damage.

I have mine inside an inclosed porch, not heated though. I think if it is covered and not exposed to the weather it may be alright. I wouldn't think it would be good if it gets wet, the finished may crack or wood could warp/buckle.

Hi~! I use mine in my screened in porch. There is no wind there, so it doesn't fall down. If you are putting it imside your house and not directly in front of a fan, there should be no problem. I LOVE MINE!!! It hides my mop and bucket!!!

The place where I am is very dry.... but from finish it appears it can take the outside porch mid East coast weather.. it is very sturdy and very well finished. .. I guess until you have this soaked in rain regularly, this will do fine. .. Good luck. .

Yes it is safe to use in screened in porch, as long as you have a good way to secure, I put mine in screened AZ room but I first added a 4" beam to hold it.

I screwed it into the screened in porch but it comes with 2 ways , you can screw it in or use the supplied stick and hold,hook and loop way.

I believe the rain, sun, and wind would damage it severely. You need wood that is treated and finished specifically to handle outside elements. Outdoor furniture made of Teak or Cypress tend to be built more solidly than this finely carved screen. And because of that they can hold their shape while the elements beat down on them.

I am so sorry, but I'm not sure. I had the builder who built my screened porch put it up...the downrod is only a couple of inches, but I don't have an answer for you, and I don't have the box any longer. But from the looks of it, I think it can, (operative word there is "think") and the blade shape wouldn't interfere.

You can. We have them on both enclosed (screened) and open porches in South Carolina. No safety problem.

Yes you can. I used this on two large porches and have been very happy with my choice.

yes. I bought the table and four chairs for our screen porch this past summer. It looks great, seats 4 comfortably, folds down and rolls out of the way. It is a little tricky to put together, but if you are patient, lay all the pieces out first, then it goes together quite well. Hope this helps.

yes, You can fit a small table and chairs on the porch, the ground it is not lined, so you will be on the grass unless you lay out a tarp or something. Make sure you waterproof this tent, as I did, and still leaked a lot during a storm. So maybe use a higher grade sealer. This tent was fairly cool during hot days.
