Outdoor Ceiling Fan Advice

South Africans love spending time outdoors. An alfresco ceiling fan keeps fresh air circulating, moves braai smoke along and turns sticky afternoons into easy evenings. From coastal humidity to summer evenings, you can relax and entertain in cool comfort.

Outdoor suitability and placement:

Use outdoor fans only in covered areas with at least two walls shielding wind and rain. Keep blades clear of doors and lights, and mount the fan to a solid, weather protected fixing point for steady, safe operation.

Coastal care and maintenance:

Sea air is harsh on metal. Choose models marked as coastal friendly, then wipe the fan with a dry cloth and apply a light film of Mr Min or baby oil to metal parts. Regular care helps prevent corrosion and extends the fans' life.

Blades and build quality

Pick outdoor rated materials. ABS blades resist moisture and warping, stainless fasteners and sealed housings fight rust, and coastal friendly finishes slow corrosion.
