Not-so-fun fact: The temperatures in horse stalls are typically anywhere from 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the outside temperatures during the hot summer months. These stalls can also trap far too much heat and humidity, causing temperatures to skyrocket even higher over time and potentially putting horses’ health at risk.
So, why are we sharing all this random information about horse stalls? Well, as it turns out, those in charge of tending to horses in the summertime often go to great lengths to try to keep them cool, and we were pleasantly surprised to see how many recommend using the Hykolity 20-Inch Wall-Mounted Garage Fan to achieve this goal. About one-third of the five-star reviews left for the fans — which usually cost $100 but are on sale for just $70 at Amazon for a limited time — are from those who claim they’re “perfect for horse stalls.”
It got us thinking: Wouldn’t that also make these fans great for people struggling to keep their garages cool this summer?
The verdict? This fan definitely has what it takes to cool off hot garages, which are often 10 to 20 degrees warmer than the outside temperatures in the summer. It’s roughly 24 inches wide, 24 inches tall, and 6 inches deep, with three speed settings that deliver up to 4,600 CFM of airflow. This allows it to effectively circulate air in a space that’s up to about 3,000 square feet, thereby making it powerful enough to cool off the average garage with ease.
This fan also boasts a convenient 180-degree adjustable tilt feature, enabling you to angle it in any direction based on where you want it to blow the most air. Plus, it has a powder-coated steel construction for durability and is equipped with a fully enclosed ball-bearing motor to protect it from workshop dust.
“It’s easy to mount, it provides great power, and it’s so quiet,” one reviewer wrote.
“They can really move a lot of air around,” another reviewer remarked. “It has been an exceptionally hot summer, and these fans have made a big difference.”
