You can certainly identify the neighbors that have pools and for some distance around on calm days.

The bigger fans usually operate at a reduced speed so as not to make as much noise, much like a ceiling fan.

I have a 24" fan in my greenhouse and there is no appreciable noise from it. I let mine run based on temperature, day or night. Wouldn't know how to run them by time of day.

My fan size will be determined by the size of the kids I want sucked out of the pool and discarded. A 40 inch fan will handle 3 year olds so I'm told. Rolling on the floor laughing

Fred and his wife popped in today to check out the new lanai. It was good to see them again.

I just heard I am getting 3 24-inch fans to replace this little 18 incher. The contractor was working with a greenhouse company to find the best solution.

FedX just delivered three huge fans to the front door and now I have to drag them back to the lanai. No word yet on installation. This will amount to some serious air circulation. Maybe I should put on a few pounds just to be safe. Hilarious!

Jim, I'm sure the lanai must have been designed for hurricane force winds. Hilarious!

Gosh, Jim! I'm a bit confused when I watch the news. They seem to be ruling out Fla,. but the photos show it hitting you. I'm sure you'll get something out of this hurricane! I guess this will be a test for your new lani enclosure. What kind of warrantee have you got? By the way, Gerberara will take it! Hilarious!
