Can this fan be used outdoors in a carport?

If it's protected from the weather, I don't see why not. But, it's not built for it.

I love this fan, but it is not an outdoor fan. I have three of them now, and I would buy five more for my porch if it were rated for outdoors.

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.

No. It is for safety reasons only. The fan is meant to be installed to the inside of the window's bug screen.

I think the manual says it can be used outside. We have only used ours inside.

This fan should be acceptable for encloused outdoors; the only downsize is that over the timethe padels may sag due to moisture

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.

I do not think that is an outdoor fan. We purchased it for the inside of the house.

No, this fan is only for indoors. It is so very good looking that the outdoors will ruin it.

I certainly wouldn't want a fan such as this outside in rain just like most electrical appliances. I don't even see certification for use outside be it under covered conditions like patio even. I have use one for inside protected garage tho and its much hard on them. Nickel coating isn't like stainless or hard chrome for that usage.

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.

My Dear Lasko 2521 Oscillating fan user...Hello Anne T. Yes it could be used outdoors but who would want to. I wouldn't want to. if it works for you then, by all means go ahead, that just plum tickles me all over the place, just be careful where you plug it in and not near where water is present. Enjoy your 3 speed Lasko Oscillating fan.

The fan is good in damp but not wet conditions.As long as it is out of the rain & snow it should be okay. We have it I the house & love it.

No way, this is an indoor fan only. There are some good outdoor fans at Lowes.com

The documentation that came with Hunter Fan 53091 states that the fan is rated for INDOOR use. There are other models that are rated for outdoor use but please look up the manufacturer's warnings. Some outdoor fans are rated for DAMP conditions while others are rated for WET conditions. Please do your research before purchasing your outdoor fan.
