Something like what is listed is what I'm looking for. Something quiet enough to still have conversations in the barn but still move a bunch of air. I don't use the space enough to justify the big ceiling fans, BUT I could justify a few hundred. I went today to buy one and just couldn't bring myself to pay full price. So if someone gets an add from somewhere this week...post it up! Thanks

I'd also entertain some other thoughts. Just feel like with graduation parties and summer gatherings here, I just need to do something to move some air.

Big ass fan is what you need

The one I went to buy today, and linked, is 42". Dats a bigazz fan.

Thinking with the belt drive we will still be able to talk around it.

I see, that is the name of the fans I would like. I'm just not spending that kind of money at this point. Need concrete long before that kind of coin gets spent. If ever.

Even their "normal" sized fans are spensive

Agreed. I could probably get an AC unit for that kind of money.

Nice to see the archery manufacturing world branching out into fans now

No reason a barn/cattle fan can't be found for 3-$500

1,000% agreed. Just not sure which one to buy. They all seem to be about the same price. I will likely own one before the weekend. Calling for upper 80s this weekend.

I bought one at auction for $100. They are out there. I have my garage plumbed and ready for the Big Ass Fan 6-8 footer. $5k scared me away.

It'll be an upgrade hopefully

Getting ready to head out and pick this unit up @Lowe's for my 20' x 35' x 16' workshop.

Anyone own one? Interested in any shared experiences, thanks!

I've used different manufactures (such as Lieberts or Honeywells) in the past for datacenters and IDF closets. This will be my first personally owned unit. I'll install it sometime later this week or weekend.

This was my dads “shop fan” when I was growing up. Rule number one in the garage was to not touch it! That thing would mulch an arm off in no time if given the chance

I've put many mini splits in, all different manufacturers and models. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. Good luck

We put one in my parents house. Great upgrade for a house with no duct no work.
