I dunno,  maybe its a scam.....  sure it is, here is a real outdoor fan....  Maybe if they were brown.....  they'd hide the rust....  or if we put them all in a row......  we'd spend a grand every other year......  replacing all of them.....  Or we can buy a decent outdoor fan... |

 I pass an outside porch in Newport RI with an S.M.C. spinner, half-dome light, and 4 blades which have curved into a downward arch LOL. ;D I'll get a photo when I go by next week.

Stupid move (forgetting to put on the canopy) for the installers of this bad boy: cus the hook is exposed to rust, aka it'll eventually snap and fall. |

 Those fans look completely DEAD My aunt and uncle from St. Louis had a grey Lady Delta in their screened-in porch. They replaced it in 2001 with a white Veranda. The LD did have a few rust spots on it, plus it wasn't quite big enough for the porch area.

they may not be completely dead....yet.
Also to add to the carnage, there is a house with four Casablanca Casacades' on the varandah, in very sad shape. One is missing two blades,another one missing all of them. Somehow the other two were still running.

That's why I'm not such a fan of putting any fan outdoors. My neighbor paid $150,000 to build his house and what did he put on the porch? A cheap SMC Grayton spinner with a light. Wonder what that will look like in 10 years? Commercial businesses around here that get alot of foot traffic off the street and want to create a coastal atmosphere put up fans outside. They gat dusty, cobwebby and rusty, if they aren't missing blades and not running at all... That last pic is an Encon fan, right? I believe it was/is called The Verandah. I think it looks cool hanging from that gazebo roof. It really completes it.  The first pic is all too common. And that looks like a newer building? LOL, I remember at McDonalds they had fans by the Playplace outside and they kept losing blades. Finally I saw them running with no blades on them. Just the brackets were spinning! Finally they removed them. |

The last fan is a Casablanca Lanai www.casablancafanco.com/product/damp_wet/lanai.htmlBack when I worked at Budget Rental Car, there were about a dozen Hunter sea breeze or sea air (forgot the name) in the drop off zone. only half of them worked, the rest were missing blades and had met the tall roofline of a ford Clubwagon van. For a while, there was one with three blades running, it wobbled soo much the ceiling around it began to collapse, due to it twisting the framing of the ceiling. |

Ford Club Wagon? I used to drive those for a limo company. 1 of them ran on natural gas. They handled quite nicely.  Never whacked any ceiling fans with them though!! YET ha ha |

It was the idiots that I had to work with who did that. The fans were in the 'passanger car' drop of zone. I guess no speak english was part of the factor....
