Know before you buy
Yes, the Sundowner is wet-rated, meaning it is specifically engineered to withstand direct exposure to rain and moisture, making it safe for open patios or pergolas.
This fan is quite powerful, moving up to 7,122 CFM. It is well-suited for larger outdoor spaces where you need significant air circulation to stay comfortable.
It includes two downrods—a 3.5-inch and a 6-inch option—to provide flexibility for standard or slightly higher ceiling installations.
The finish is designed for outdoor durability, but like any outdoor fixture, it should be wiped down periodically with a soft, damp cloth to prevent the buildup of salt or debris.
Yes, the blades are crafted from wood and feature a Dark Maple finish, which provides a classic look that complements the rustic aesthetic of the motor housing.
Because this is a downrod-mounted fan, it is generally compatible with sloped ceilings, though you may need to verify the specific angle of your ceiling to ensure the canopy can accommodate the slope.
