I recommend you look into fans that have a UL rating for indoor/outdoor installation. The motors are sealed to prevent damage from moisture and the blades are designed not to warp or droop due to moisture. Ceiling fans with all wood blades may become deformed while polycarbonate blades will withstand moist conditions. The indoor/outdoor rating is usually noted on the box where the UL ratings are listed.
