Top 10 – Best Outdoor Fans in Australia For 2024
Updated for 2024 Season
The top 10 Best Outdoor fans released in the last 12 months – Updated for January 2024
Exteriors can benefit from fans just as much as interiors. Pergola fans provide cooling for outdoor areas, and create an ideal environment for either entertaining or relaxation. There is a diverse range of ceiling fans suitable for outdoor installation and we’ve picked out our favourite ten. This list includes top performing models and a diverse range of colours and sizes.
1. Aqua DC Ceiling Fan
Last year, Hunter Pacific gave us a world first, the Aqua DC, a ceiling fan with an IP66 rating. This innovation provided piece of mind for outdoor installations, because it means that the fan is protected against both dust and water. This summer, the Aqua is even better. It’s now available in either a 52 or 70-inch size. Not only is the Aqua DC the fan with the most protection against weather, it’s incredibly energy efficient too. Its 19-watt motor powers an impressive airflow in either size. This sort of air movement is great for outdoor areas in warm weather. The fan is also compatible with Hunter Pacific’s innovative wall control accessory, as well as the angled ceiling mount.
