can the magnet hold this sideways, like on a steel storm shelter wall?

No. It hangs from the ceiling with a plastic carabiner. The Coleman version of this fan (not as good a fan--I've owned both) comes with a magnetic hanger, which clamps the tent fabric between a steel plate and a magnet. I never used that system, because it was better to hang the fan from a cloth loop in the tent. Whether it could work on the wall of a storm shelter, I can't say.

I highly doubt the magnet is strong enough to affect it. It shouldn't be a worry :)

Absolutely not. You can always fold it back and the magnet holds it in place.

Magnet isn't strong enough for that unless it's behind some sort of wind brake. I don't use mine on my vehicle though. It blew off my shipping container house in 45mph wind.

The surface of the back is one big magnet, but I imagine you could affix those Command hanging strips to the back as long as they would stick to a magnet surface.

I'd say no because magnets hold it on . Possibly could be modified to work if you used double sided tape.

Yes. But be careful about hitting things...the pieces are fragile and can get loose and cracked. Powerful magnet. Do not twist on because the magnet WILL scratch your roof if you don't take it off right.

I have mine against two wall but that doesn't guarantee that it won't come down in a storm. If your placing it along with no back support in a storm it will come down unless you have it fasten to the ground. Hope this helps!

I have used mine horizontally a few times. I noticed that you need all the surface area of the magnetic base to hold or it will pull up and move.

It will mount as securely as the wall behind it allows for, and I have used anchors. No wobble and that is a good thing as the magnet is strong.

I'm not exactly sure. It is a very strong magnet. I think it would hold it but if you knocked into it somehow I could see it pivoting and possibly snapping off. It if we're me I would feel more confident with two on separate ends. Hope this helps.

It should. Just make sure it's a flat surface before applying the magnet. If it's not flat it will fall off

yes. the supports are aimed downward and screwed on the flat part of any surface. so sure why not. They probaly cant be mounted sideways to side walls. JT

It is galvanized steel, so magnets work. But, it's also mesh so it doesn't have a solid surface to hold real well. I put a kitchen magnet on it, and it held. But it was easy to slide the magnet around. So I can't fully answer your question , without knowing what your doing with the magnets.

Yes, the magnet is pretty strong. Only issue I had was keeping it clued onto a wood surface. Can't speak for other surfaces but if I had to guess on a plain wall iy should be fine. Hope this helps.

Yes. To get it to work properly, it needs to be installed directly opposite the magnet per the instructions.

I'm afraid it depends on the strength of the magnet. A decent magnet should.
