Outdoor ceiling fans come in a lot of different styles and designs. There are options involved as well – something I learned quickly when I went shopping for a fan with my dear friend. For example, would my friend want an outdoor fan that is just a fan? Or would she want to have a ceiling fan with lights? Would she settle for Casablanca or Bamboo? And within the Casablanca and Bamboo styles, there are still more choices to be made! I made a mistake of advising my friend to close her eyes and just point, and we would be buying the one she would end up pointing to. The sales clerk looked at me as if I had lost my mind and went on to explain the difference between an indoor fan and an outdoor ceiling fan. Frankly, they look the same to me, but what do I know? It turns out this is something that must be taken into serious consideration.
