TYPES OF PATIO CEILING FANS

Hunter patio fans come in all shapes and sizes to ensure maximum safety and performance while bringing comfort and sophistication to the great outdoors.

Consider our three types of outdoor patio fans to find the right match for your space:

1. Patio Ceiling Fans with Lighting

Instantly illuminate your patio area when it's dark outside with outdoor fans featuring LED lighting. Popular for their energy efficiency and long-lasting properties, the integrated LED lights in our outdoor fans can safely be exposed to nature's elements.

2. Outdoor Covered Ceiling Fans

If your exterior space is enclosed and protected, an outdoor covered fan makes the best option. This type of fan can withstand exposure to small amounts of moisture, however it should be shielded from direct contact with rain for safety purposes.

3. Wet Rated Ceiling Fans

For exterior spaces that aren't protected from the elements, a wet-rated fan is recommended for maximum safety. Wet-rated fans provide a fantastic addition to pool and waterfront areas, gazebos, and geographic locations with high levels of humidity and extreme temperatures.

FINDING THE RIGHT PATIO CEILING FAN

Take measurements of the space you plan to have your fan installed to determine which size will properly fit your patio. For smaller patios that are less than 100 square feet, fans featuring shorter blades make the best option. Our selection of larger fans fit spaces up to 400 square feet, such as extended patios.

To pick the appropriate mounting type, measure the distance between the base of your ceiling and the ground. If the ceiling height is less than 8-feet tall, a flush-mount ceiling fan is recommended. For taller ceilings, we offer multiple sizes of downrod extensions to accommodate any clearance.

After you know the sizes you need, browse an abundance of fan styles to discover the best design for your taste. Make a classic statement in your patio spaces with rustic or traditional designs featuring dark wood blades and vintage finishes. To establish a clean, refined, contemporary look, browse our modern and industrial ceiling fans featuring more neutral colors and sleek metal finishes. To match a specific aesthetic, shop the nautical, tropical, casual, farmhouse and other popular styles in our complete collection.

At Hunter, we understand you have a style all your own, and we're committed to making your outdoor patio areas feel just as comfortable as your interior. Shop now to find an ideal patio fan for your space or shop our wide selection of outdoor ceiling fans for other spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big should a patio ceiling fan be?

It depends entirely on the size of your outdoor space. For a smaller porch or patio area, a 30-to-44-inch fan would be adequate for the space. If you have a large patio or porch area, then you can up to as big as 96 inches. You may also desire two smaller fans as opposed to one big one based on the layout of the space and your personal preference. For help deciding on the right fan size for your space, refer to our helpful measuring guide.

Is it better to have more or fewer blades on an outdoor patio ceiling fan?

The number of blades on a fan is not important as long as it’s an adequate size for the space. If the fan is the right size for your patio, then you’ll get the right amount of air circulation, regardless of the number of blades.

Do you need a special ceiling fan for outdoor patios?

Yes, you’ll want to get a ceiling fan that’s rated for outdoor use. There are damp-rated fans for use on covered patios and screened-in porches, as well as wet-rated and WeatherMax® fans, which are specially designed with anti-corrosive materials to withstand the outdoor elements.
