IMPORTANT NOTE: Many fans sold in farm and home improvement stores are dangerous to use in barns. These include all box fans and most floor-type basket fans. Unless the fans have completely sealed motors, they will NOT be rated for agricultural use. Be sure to check the instruction manual before purchasing - as many will state on the front page "for residential use only". This is true for ceiling fans as well (ours are also agriculturally rated).Electrical fires are a leading cause of preventable horse deaths. In 2007, 44 horses were killed in a barn fire caused by a fairly new box fan. There is a website dedicated to fire safety in barns - check out their stories on how the wrong fans can be a deadly cost-cutting measure! Don't become a statistic...*Do you currently have box fans?

- "I received the fan in record fast time and it meets all my expectations." - Therese, OR - The quality of these fans are so good, considering the price. We feel so much safer having these fans on instead of the box fans that aren’t meant to be in barns. We can sleep without having nightmares about barn fires now ;)
The air flow is also great. Even on the lowest setting, these fans have way more air flow than other brands.
Will definitely buy more again! - The quality of these fans are so good, considering the price. We feel so much safer having these fans on instead of the box fans that aren’t meant to be in barns. We can sleep without having nightmares about barn fires now ;)

Will definitely buy more again! - We love the fans. We have over 20 of them and have not had any trouble with them. They are in our horse stalls and work really well. The horses love them. - "Love the horse stall fan! Puts out lots of air, looks well built!" - Robin, AL
