Do I Need an Outdoor Fan Under My Pergola?
Do you need an outdoor fan? Many people don’t consider an
outdoor fan a necessity. However, these inexpensive appliances offer many
benefits far beyond comfort. From cooling and air circulation to pest control,
safety, and style, learn why an outdoor fan is a fantastic addition to your residential pergola design.
The Benefits of
Adding a Ceiling Fan to Your Outdoor Space
Ceiling fans pack a lot of punch on your patio or deck,
providing:
●
Cooling
Outdoor ceiling fans go wonderfully with patio shades, providing a refreshing respite from the bright, hot summer Colorado sun. The large blades of outdoor ceiling fans offer superior comfort compared to smaller oscillating and boxed fans. This “wind chill” effect, created when air passes over perspiration on the skin, can make you and your guests feel several degrees cooler than the ambient temperature. Integrating a patio misting system can further enhance this effect.

Air circulation
Ceiling fans create a refreshing breeze, controlling smoke from grilling and fire pits or cigarettes, banishing offensive smells and oppressive heat to keep you and your guests more comfortable.

Pest control
Ceiling fans can prevent covered patios from becoming a haven for annoying pests like flies and mosquitoes. The wind created by fans makes it difficult for insects to fly, keeping pests away and ensuring a more enjoyable outdoor experience.
