With some craftsmanship, the structure is not a problem. The circumstantial is the attachment of the wing, especially if the ceiling installation has already taken place. I had asked before buying whether you can use the fan and "Outdoor". The answers were not clear, which is why I want to go into it here. The fan hangs in my garden under a wooden gazebo with dense stable roof. He is protected there against direct moisture. To date, it runs there properly, extremely quiet and is next to the pleasant cooling effect an absolute "eye-catcher". He has survived without problems the previous wet phases. Now over the winter, the pavilion is closed on the sides with greenhouse film, and of course taken the fan from the mains. I hope that he survives the winter etc without rust and will report again. So far, just buy it!
