Stay Cool Outdoors with Reliable Outdoor Ceiling Fans
Outdoor ceiling fans are the perfect solution to keep your outdoor living space cool, breezy, and bug-free during the warmer months. At Fansonline, we offer a wide range of ceiling fans suitable for patios, alfresco areas, pergolas, and decks.
What to Consider When Buying an Outdoor Fan
Outdoor environments vary across Australia and so should your fan choice. Consider:
Undercover vs exposed areas: Fans installed in areas open to rain or direct weather should have a minimum IP rating and rust-resistant components. Fans installed undercover typically should have a minimum clearance of 1.5m from blade to edge of roof.
Coastal locations: Salt spray can damage motors and blades. Choose fans rated for coastal environments to ensure protection against possible corrosion over time.
Mounting height: For patios or pergolas, ensure the fan clears any beams and maintains safe clearance. As outdoor structures can often feature higher ceilings, you may also need to opt for a fan with an extension rod.
Features: Need a fan with a light? Want remote or smart control? Many of our outdoor models include energy-efficient DC motors, LED lights, and all-weather finishes.
Size & Design: Many of our customers opt for a larger fan to ensure greater coverage for their outdoor areas, typically 54" and above is common. Black fans are a popular choice for outdoors, both for aesthetic reasons and practical - accumulation of dust and dirt is not as visible on a black fan vs white - although periodic cleaning is recommended to prolong the life of your fan.
