But, are the fans you are using actually much more dangerous than you have imagined? Very likely&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Often the quickest and easiest option is to go to your local store and purchase a box fan. Surely this must be safe \u2013 as many large equestrian shops sell mounting devices specifically made to install these fans&#8230;right? WRONG!! Box fans are a potentially lethal addition to your barn. Recently, a prominent facility with box fans lost 44 horses in a barn fire. Our worst nightmare.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-37600 size-full\" title=\"Barn Fans: 2\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_yhf.jpg\" alt=\"Barn Fans\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_yhf.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_yhf-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_yhf-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_yhf-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_yhf-560x294.jpg 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_yhf-160x84.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Agriculturally-Rated Fans vs. Industrial Fans<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Problems arise from box fans and many other &#8220;industrial&#8221; fans because they are <strong>not<\/strong> designed to be in barns (or any agricultural setting).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve heard many people proclaim, <em>&#8220;I dust my fans, so they are safe!&#8221;<\/em> Moreover, blades and guards are not the problems. If the motor is not enclosed and the bearings are not sealed, all of that barn debris <strong>will<\/strong> get inside of it, which causes friction. Friction causes heat and possibly a fire.<\/p>\n<p>So what is the big difference between industrial and agriculturally-rated fans? There are a few crucial differences between fans made for residential use versus agricultural use:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Fully enclosed motors featuring sealed ball bearings. Residential fans are vented, exposing the motor parts to dust and dirt. This can build up in the electrical housing causing a fire.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Thermostatic overload shutoff switch. If the fan overheats it will automatically shut off, preventing enough heat buildup which may cause a fire.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">UL507 certified motor. This means that the electrical device is rated for outdoor use \u2013 it can get wet. In wash bays, these fans can safely be used and even sprayed down to clean them off. Walk down any aisle in your local chain farm store and you will see basket fans. Certainly, these MUST be rated for agricultural use&#8230;right? WRONG!! Many of the fans that are rated \u201cindustrial\u201d have specific exclusions on their instructions stating NOT for agricultural use!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35867 size-full\" title=\"Barn Fans: 1\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/barn-fans-5.jpg\" alt=\"Barn Fans: 5\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/barn-fans-5.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/barn-fans-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/barn-fans-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/barn-fans-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/barn-fans-5-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/barn-fans-5-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Agriculturally-Rated Barn Fan Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35865 size-medium alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_101-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Barn Fans: 4\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_101-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_101-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_101-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_101-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_101-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18BFB_101.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The BEST fans for barn use should cover all of the three items listed above. At a minimum, your barn fan should have points one and two above covered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">RAMM carries a full line of these fans \u2013 including an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chincoteague.com\/pony_swim_guide.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">18\u201d basket fan<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rammfence.com\/barn\/horse-barn-ceiling-fans\/oscillating-wall-mount-fan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">24\u201d wall mount oscillating<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rammfence.com\/barn\/horse-barn-ceiling-fans\/indoor-outdoor-shutter-fan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shutter exhaust fan<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rammfence.com\/barn\/horse-barn-ceiling-fans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">and more<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Yes, agricultural-rated fans are much more expensive than the $19.99 box fan. In response to this remark on our Facebook page, a follower wrote, &#8220;I understand the concern about cost but I will say I bit the bullet and bought the sealed motor fans years ago. I was tired of constantly replacing box fans because they didn&#8217;t last. They [the sealed motor fans] last 10-15 times longer even in the deep south under constant use. So given the time and cost savings of always having to shop and replace them and the safety factor they are well worth the cost.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Have you met someone who has lost horses in a barn fire? It is devastating. The loss of the barn contents is hard enough, but knowing how the horses died will be with you forever. A horse owner on Facebook nearly did go through a devastating barn fire. Luckily, she was there when the fire started and no major damage occurred. \u00a0It could have been so much worse. Make sure that you have agricultural-rated electrical equipment and we always recommend GFCI circuits.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:15px 0;border-width:3px;border-color:#999999\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"color:#999999\">Go to top<\/a><\/div>\n<p>Please be safe this summer and keep an eye on all electrical appliances in your barns!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rammfence.com\/barn\/horse-barn-ceiling-fans\/18-inch-basket-fan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-37459 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/18bfb.jpg\" alt=\"RAMM 18&quot; Basket Fan\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/18bfb.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/18bfb-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/18bfb-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/18bfb-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/18bfb-560x294.jpg 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/18bfb-160x84.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><strong>Love this blog post?<\/strong> We think you will like:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/you-should-not-be-out-riding-how-hot-is-too-hot\/\">You Should Not Be Out Riding: How Hot is Too Hot?<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an effort to make our horses more comfortable, we often break out the barn fans this time of year.

I am a daughter of the King, wife, mother, company owner, and longtime equestrian. I truly look forward to sharing ideas and thoughts with you. As horse owners learn one from another, I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your thoughts at the farm. Laugh much &amp; ride often!
