Ceiling fans indoors have proven their value time and again. Their cousin, the outdoor fan, is often overlooked, but it is just as useful and provides plenty of benefits when placed over a patio, deck or in an outdoor room. As with an indoor fan, the outdoor fans provide a quiet breeze that helps break up the stifling heat. There is another bonus the fans provide—they are an excellent bug deterrent. Flying insects like mosquitoes, gnats and even bees can make your time outdoors unpleasant. With the breeze created by the fan, the bugs will be less likely to invade your space.
