why do I need an outside fan for a deck enclosed on 3 sides

Outdoor rated fans are better suited for high humidity settings like covered porches or decks. They are made of materials that will withstand the elements better than an indoor rated fan.

Only if you want to use the internal blower( which does not move very much air). I use a extra regular fan to circulate air in the garage.

There is a switch on both sides of the fan so you can either use the fan to pull fresh air in or use it to push air out (or through) if another window in another area of the house is open. Fan does a great job for what I need it for.

I don't think it's rated for outdoor use. Generally, whether a fan is rated for outdoor use is stated prominently in the item description.

if you don't use the side fan there is room. the top hit the fan and make a sound like when you put a card in bike when you were little.

i have one but did not need to install it as i have cieling fans that seem to work very well to circulate the heat.

No. A fan that with a revers option is used in the winter to push the warm air from the celling.I use this fan in my out door patio, I feel it's the best buy for the money runs good slow or fast.

The pull chain turns the fan on low. You pull again for medium, high, and off. My fan has been on an outside deck for almost a year and seems to be holding up well. I did remove the blades to prevent snow buildup.

You need an electrical outlet for the fan to plug into, otherwise you can hard-wire it to a electrical source.

For the size of the fan it move a lot of air. Installed 2 on my patio instead of 1 large fan giving better area air movement control. I would install these fans again.

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

I would install a louver on the outside over the wire mesh to keep rain/snow out. The wire mesh keeps unwanted guests out. Frame the fan housing if needed but don,t remove any structural members in your attic. This fan works very well for me in Las Vegas,NV. Good luck JR

The fan requires venting to the outside. I had mine installed by electricians doing work in my house as you may also wish to use a new multi-switch to control the various functions of the product (light, night-light, fan and heater), followed by ducting the fan to the outside via a contractor the following week (our contractor charged $125 for this service). If you're handy, perhaps you can do these yourself, but in my case, the costs of installation greatly exceeded the costs of the fan.

I just use the fan that is made for it's socket and my tower has about 3 fans and it keeps it cooled down.

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

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.

No for the simple fact that the blades are made of press wood....it will start to sag in a few months because of moisture and humidity....I would recomend a fan with metal blades plus I think by NEC code you have to use a fan with metal blades outdoor
