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.

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

yes. however this fan is a cheaply made product and when I received it I had to return it becaiuse, 1. missing parts, 2. some parts were broken 3. the fan is all plastic. I would not recommend this product.

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.

Yes, this item is primarily an electric fan. The blades rotate inside the housing so the exterior does not move at all.

Yes. It has electric ignition and exhaust fan which needs to be vented outside.

My fan is installed in a covered area of my deck. It is open on two sides and overlooks Lake Martin. We had a previous Hunter out door fan there for fourteen years with no problems. It was not a cast iron Origional and it had become rusty but was still running.

I am not an expert. It is an indoor fan and cannot be exposed to rain or saltwater wind. Maybe it will be ok for a while to use on a roof covered porch or patio, but it will definitely rust away. I PERSONALLY WOULD STAY AWAY FROM OUTDOOR USE.

This fan is Very Well Made; however, I don't think it is for outside use.I use it in my garage and the fact that it has THREE speeds is nice.

By design this is an indoor only fan so it should only be used in fully enclosed indoor type space with walls, insulation etc... For outdoor use you would want a fan labeled "indoor/outdoor", a fan like this would be constructed with ABS blades instead of wood blades and the metal finishes and corrosion resistance properties would be more appropriate for an outdoor setting.

The fan is not waterproof. So I would not do that unless you take it down for rainy days.

Most outdoor fans will be "damp rated". This one does not have this listed. You could certainly install it outside, but you may run into problems.

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.

I personally wouldn't use this fan outdoors ... I think the beautiful finish and the wood blades would get ruined pretty quickly in the elements, depending on your environment.

Sorry this took so long to get back to you but yes it is for outdoor use. My previous one lasted 15 years outside in Atlanta, Ga.
