Ceiling Fan in the garage-good idea?

New garage has a high ceiling and the whole thing is sheet rocked-sometimes I fish in some rain stuff gets wet and I set up some fan to dry things out, wouold it be easier just to have a ceiling fan?Has anyone done this? Floor in my boat is vinyl so that part is good-maybe a different kind of fan would be better.

I put 3 in mine when I remodeled it. It helps to circulate warm air in the winter and also dry things out.

I would definitely add a ceiling fan, it’s a good thing.just a little air movement does help out quiet a bit

Ceiling fan in mine runs all winter long. Helps dry the floor after cars melt off.

I took the ugly ceiling fan out of my living room and put it into my garage. It made a big difference in heating. It is also nice to have air movement on the hot summer days.

I added 2 ceiling fans in my garage and they run 24/7/365. Air movement is never a bad thing.

Just keep the fishing rods out of the fan.

i’m going to be installing one this summer, what size did you guys go with? 52″ or larger?

http://www.bigassfans.com/ not cheap but these are the best fans around if it is going to run constantly.

I put an old fan in 4 years ago when I built my shop. Has not turned off since.

we have Hunter brand in our house, nice and quiet

And your head when you stand up in your boat while you are rigging it before a trip. It hurts

I have 3 in my 28 x 32. I find myself running only 2 most of the time 1 in forward 1 in reverse it really draws the air around

Great idea. I bought a big turbo fan and have it mounted on a board unside down on the ceiling of my garage. Only reason is to dry the boat when I get home after fishing in the rain. Ceiling fans too. But that turbo fan forces much more air. I open compartments, bilge cover, live well and let it go. I also open windows a bit to let humidity out. Works great.

I have 2 Hunter house fans mounted in my garage, one directly over the boat. The boat one gets turned on when I think the boat needs drying out, the other fan runs 24/7.

I just built a shop last fall and plan to put a 52″ fan in the stall I keep my boat to help dry things also.

Sounds worthwhile thanks.
Have already put a fishing rod into a fan (helps to have it on high!) no way I could do that again.

I have 2 in my garage. As others have said, it helps push the heat down in the winter and move the air. I leave mine on all year.

I have two ceiling fans in 36×48 shed. I also added a oscillating wall fan. And yes fans and fishing rods don’t get along🤬

All of you with fishing rod fan issues sounds to me like an ugly stick commercial
