I would say this is made for indoor use as it is wall mounted and not particularly weatherproof. Once installed, you would not want to move it. I ordered it for a conference room. Hope that helps!

Also, I returned this particular fan and ordered another as the one this seller sent was in pieces, dirty and obviously used. I purchased and am happy with "Air King 9012 Commercial Grade Oscillating Wall Mount Fan, 12-Inch"Kitchen; $50.15In Stock Sold by: Amazon.com

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 wouldn't personally use it outdoors . It's kind of noisey too, so if you do get it get a controller to adjust the fan speed

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

I'm pretty sure it is not an outdoor fan. It is definitely different than ones I have seen on porches

As long as you have a standard fan housing, it would be possible to use this fan outdoors. However, I would not recommend it since the blade material is wood and the housing is not designed for outdoor usage. This means that the blades will eventually droop and the internal components will corrode; this process will be accelerated if you live in a place with relatively high humidity.

I installed mine through a single wall (1" thick wood). It has a metal diverter that changes the outflow from outward to downward and the diverter also has a flap in it to keep outside air from coming in, but since the "outside" for me was protected from weather, and I wanted outside air to come in even when the fan was not in use, I didnʻt use the diverter. I just mounted the fan in the wall (after making an 8 inch or so hole in the wall). To keep bugs, etc outside I built a square frame around the outside hole with 2x4 wood, and made a small window screen covering for it. Worked out well. The fan is so quiet I have to look at it to see if its on. I installed mine through a single wall (1" thick wood).

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

I returned that fan as soon as I got it. It wasn't what I expected at all. Sorry, I know nothing about the switch. It was a long time ago, but if I recall, it was most likely an electronic switch. It was not the best quality fan, somewhat bigger and not very powerful, if I am remembering correctly.

Best to find one that is clearly described as an outdoor fan, built for stability and to withstand changes in humidity, etc.

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.

Nope, indoors..., unless is installed in a very protected enclosure. Is a heavy fan.

Not an answer, but a question...did you find a fan which is UL rated for wet locations? I'm looking for one that will be on our patio outdoors as well and can't seem to find anything here on Amazon.

Yes it is.I sent it back, took over 2 months for them to fix & return it. Now it sounds like a lawn mower. I have a $15 fan from Walgreens that works better. Don't waste your money!

It is a 3 speed fan. I bought 4 of them for outdoor patio use and I am very happy with them. Virtually identical to the original Hunter fans I replaced after 20+ years.

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.
