How to Choose Sizes of Outdoor Ceiling Fans

Looking for an outdoor ceiling fan for your home? If so, you are going to find that there are a lot of options when it comes to the sizes of outdoor ceiling fans. Below are some of the common sizes of outdoor spaces and the outdoor ceiling fans that will work best for them.

 

  • Tiny (6’x’6) Outdoor Space – 18”-36” blade span makes a great choice for a six-foot square or smaller space. This could be a compact outdoor area.
  • Small (8’x8’-10’x10’) Outdoor Space – 36”-42” blade span will make a good choice for this size. This might be a small deck or patio area or a front porch.
  • Standard (12’x12’-16’x16’) Outdoor Space – 52”-60” blade span will make a perfect choice for this type of space. Most garages and patios will have this size.
  • Large (18’x18’) Outdoor Space – 60”-72” blade span will provide great airflow. Huge outdoor patios with seating as well as gazebos are some examples.
  • Wide Open (20’x20’ & Higher) Outdoor Space – For this size, you’re going to need a really large fan, especially one that is 65” or more. If you have a covered, large pool area, chances are that this one is the one to choose.

 

These are the common sizes of outdoor spaces and outdoor ceiling fans that you want to choose, depending on the space that you have. Look at the sizes of the spaces and what we recommend, and then you will find the right option for you. Having a nice outdoor ceiling fan can help your outdoor space stay comfortable.
