I bought 4 of these after seeing several of these installed at other beach island homes here on the Gulf Of Mexico in Grand Isle, La. I have them installed under the house (homes are raised 12-16 feet on pilings{stilts} where we usually hang out from the heat and sun, and I have one installed in my outdoor kitchen downstairs also. These fans truly put out a great deal of air and can be adjusted to blow in any direction. I am very satisfied with them. They also held up excellent for hurricane Francine which gave us 80+ mph winds and rain.
