The Chatham gazebo does not include a ceiling mount for a fan. While it is physically possible to attach a fan to the gazebo, it is not recommended.

the fan is about 12 inches across. It may be underszed for a patio. Indoors it works great

Yes, you can install it on the ceiling. Its housing is slight bigger than the existing fan I had, had to cut a larger opening to fit it in. Make sure the tube fitting is the correct size.

This model is designed to used on a outside, covered area such as a porch. I doubt that a light kit would be a good idea since the fan is "damp rated". Lamp kits are not intended for outdoor use.

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.

Yes you can but you will use the pull chain for the fan. I did most of mine like this.

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 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.

This is a 6 inch fan. I suppose you could put it in the ceiling and adapt it but I would think there are better everyday fans at Home Depot or Lowes that would be better. This is also made to sandwich between the walls so I wouldn't have this as my first choice.

We put the fans inside, you could put it outside, I think, if it is well protected from rain. But be prepared for them not to last as long.

Technically, it's an indoor fan but assuming the patio cover is full covered and free from leaks or risk of water exposure I don't see why not.

We had the fan installed with a short mount, but not flush against the outdoor ceiling (done by an electrician). Because of the shape of the leaves and the fan make-up, I would suggest that it not be flush mounted. Need a little space for the shape and movement of the fan.

I agree with idget. Unless you already have one of these, I'd look for a product designed for horizontal mounting. You could also just passively vent hot air into the attic and use this fan (at an attic gable vent for example) or your existing attic ventilation to send the heat from the attic to the outside.

I didn't use the fan. I needed an exhaust fan that would exhaust to the outside atmosphere..........not room to room.

I'm sure you can. Just replace the given ones with concrete screws that are thick enough to hold the fan's weight. It is a really great fan...very powerful. Good luck!

The fan isn't made for outdoor use. That being said will it have a chance to get wet?

Yes it can. But, you may want to select another fan if your ceiling is low or the standard 8'. It is a beautiful fan and it takes a mini-halogen bulb. I also bought the Landan which uses LED bulbs if you are energy conscious. I have an open beam ceiling and using a down rod on mine.
