Large ceiling fan for shed
Anyone have a LARGE ceiling fan in their shed?
My shed is insulated but it still needs the air to move around.
I have a oscillating industrial fan but its noisey and too small.
Domestic ceiling fans are easy to come by but are too small.
I don't think they would survive having large blades retrofitted....lol ( Don't worry...I thought about it.... )
I guess it would have to be new as I have never seen any SH units for sale.
Anyone got any tips?
Just saw this one 1650mm span. Might be big enough?
$525 from Stratco....a bit spendy....

Steve, my thought would be that a ceiling fan would tend to move the warmer air from the ceiling downwards. In my 60sm insulated shed I just use a 750mm oscillating pedestal fan, while not quiet, it does the job in providing circulation, only downside is it takes up floor space. I see Hafco have them on special now. Alan.

My concern would be the strobe effect from the blades and the lights.

Have you looked on Gumtree, face books buy swap sell, the local papers classifieds?
Failing that, put an ad on them looking for fans.

Unless you live in very cold climes, instead of recirculating the hot air and airborne gunk (solvents, welding fumes, grinding dust, etc) inside a shed, it's better to replace that with fresh air. For small sheds a couple of bathroom type fans should do the job.
For larger sheds, something like this?

Its a chook barn ventilator - 3HP, not that expensive but quite noisy.
For larger sheds, evap AC type fans mounted on the roof are my recommendation as these will flush out that hot air and gunk in short order. The local mens shed uses theirs (no water of course in winter) every day of the year - I've tested its dust removal efficiency and it is waaaaaay quicker at extracting fine dust that escapes machinery than their large reticulated dust extractor.
