iLiving Wall Mounted Variable 14 Inches Speed Indoor/Outdoor Weatherproof Fan, Industrial grade for Patio, Greenhouse, Garage, Workshop, and Loading Dock, 2473 CFM, Black

When I put in my new grill gazebo I did not realize that its aluminum roof would gather heat during the day, making the inside pretty warm. I started researching outdoor fans and the iLiving was the best I found, either at the big box improvement stores, or online. This fan is terrific. I got the 14" and all three speeds are useful. The strongest is such a strong blast I normally use the middle setting. It comes with a long pull chain that is easily snipped to the size that works best for you. Let me answer some questions you may have: How long is the power cord? Six feet so you may need an extension like I did. For the best match, be sure you get a three plug round black cable in typical 14 gauge. I really like the inexpensive one from Woods also available on Amazon. It's a perfect match. Be sure you get an extension cord for outdoor use. What hardware is included? / How to attach the fan? There are two holes on the steel bracket that comes attached to the back of the fan. It's easy to install. I bought some nuts and bolts on my own that best fit the metal frame I was attaching it to. One hole is larger than the other so two different sizes are needed. Two healthy sized wood screws are included but I needed a nut and bolt for my use attaching to metal. Does it swivel? Yes, you decide if you prefer side to side or front to back. Because I needed to orient the included bracket horizontally, it swivels front to back for my use, or perpendicular to the bracket. (See my picture with fan attached to gazebo side.) if you need it to swivel in all directions, depending on your available space for hardware, you will need to pick up an additional bracket such as an L bracket. Is it noisy? Just the sound of the wind it makes! Really well built, solid and no rattles. Can it work on a timer? Absolutely! That's how I use mine, plugged into a pool/spa type of timer that lets you choice hours you wish it to be running. It also works fine with newer smart timers that work of phone APPs, etc.

Love this fan, keeps away bugs on our front porch!

I use this fan to ventilate our covered BBQ area. Very happy with the purchase. Extremely quiet on low speed, and only a little louder (but very powerful) on high. Clearly a very well built commercial quality fan.

I have four of these fans completely exposed to the elements for five years. They’re still working perfectly, with virtually no rust. I bought three more just a couple of months ago. I live in Florida and these are outside around a pergola a pool and a cook area.

I used this as a fan in our outdoor gazebo. Had to make a custom mount for it, but it was otherwise plug and play. Has three speeds, at the lowest it’s relatively quiet. At the higher speeds it’s noticeable, but certainly not loud. Would recommend it for anyone looking for a compact outdoor fan.
