Credit: Courtesy of Wayfair, Amazon, Rejuvenation Few things beat the simple pleasure of lounging on your porch, but during the summer months, this space can be sweltering. To help you cool down, consider investing in an outdoor ceiling fan. Unlike a standing iteration, an overhead appliance is more discrete and doesn't take up precious square footage, which is often already limited on porches. Before buying an outdoor ceiling fan for your porch, there are a few things you'll need to consider in order to ensure it's built to last. "If the ceiling fan is for covered outdoor areas where the fan is exposed to high humidity or light moisture, consider damp-rated outdoor ceiling fans," says Brian Shaunfield, store manager at Lowe's. "If you're looking for a ceiling fan for a home in a coastal region, it may be good to consider ceiling fans rated for salt, which are designed to resist rust or corrosion due to high saline conditions." No matter where you live or the type of porch you have, your outdoor ceiling fan should be moisture- and humidity-resistant and designed for outdoor use. "Outdoor fans have coating and construction, and occasionally even a sealed motor, to keep them from corroding, rusting, or being damaged by moisture," says Shaunfield. To help you with your search, we're sharing the best outdoor ceiling fans that will keep you and your loved ones cool during summertime lounge sessions. 01 of 10 Honeywell Palm Valley 52-Inch Ceiling Fan Credit: Courtesy of Wayfair Looking for something with a tropical vibe that will make you feel as if you are on vacation?
