FAQ and Support
Canopy Breeze FAQs
How long will Canopy Breeze run on a full charge?
Typical run time is 6 hours
Will Canopy Breeze run on A/C power if an outlet is available?
No. Our CB305 model fan will not operate while charging. If you are looking for an all electric option, please check our our Pergola Breeze electric overhead fans.
How long does it take to recharge Canopy Breeze?
About 3 hours with 25% battery life and 5 hours when the battery is completely drained.
Are there extra battery packs for the fan?
No. The battery is built into the fan and cannot be removed without taking the fan apart.
Can I use Canopy Breeze at the beach?
Our experience has shown that the ocean breeze at the beach is stronger than what the fan can produce. However, it’s a great way to circulate air when you are spending time away from the beach, say at a swimming pool or patio.
Is Canopy Breeze waterproof?
Although moisture resistant, this product is not waterproof. Never use Canopy Breeze when rain, heavy winds or lightning is expected.
Is there a wind speed that would render Canopy Breeze ineffective?
If sustained winds are expected to be 10 m.p.h. or greater, then breeze from the fan will be highly ineffective.
Does the fan come in different colors?
Yes! Canopy Breeze is available in a white motor assembly with gray blades and numerous team colors.
It is very difficult to remove the fan blades when putting the fan away. Is this normal?
The fan blades on Canopy Breeze are designed for a snug fit to prevent them from coming loose during use. To remove them, grab the motor assembly firmly and wiggle the blade slightly from side to side while pulling. This may take some force when the fan is new. The blade is made from non-breakable plastic, so bending it will not damage it. The blades will become easier to remove over time.
How should I store Canopy Breeze during the winter months?
To store Canopy Breeze model CB305 for an extended period, like over the winter, it is best to activate the STORAGE MODE feature on the fan. Charge the fan to at least 50% state of charge or higher, then with the power on, press the power button two times. The LEDS on the fan body will blink seven times, indicating the fan has entered storage mode. To take the fan out of storage mode, simply press the power button, listen for a beep, then press it again to resume normal operation.
Installation Methods
10' and 12' canopy frames with a perpendicular roof frame, sold at most sporting, home improvement and discount stores.
Use the Down Rod Extension accessory to drop the fan lower in taller canopies. Puts the breeze closer to the action! Down Rod Extension included in most kits.
Center pole, or Cross-Truss frames where the roof fabric is raised via a single center pole which is supported by trusses at the top of the frame legs require our Cross-Truss Frame Adapter, sold separately.

Canopy Breeze® comes with a hoop on top of it which allows for mounting on a hook.
- Hook should be a #12 size or thicker and able to support at least 10 lbs.
- If hanging from a ceiling or gazebo, the hook must be completely threaded into the wooden frame or stud under drywall. DO NOT use hooks that are only mounted in drywall, even if using a drywall anchor.
- Make sure hook is completely threaded into wood frame as the torque from the fan can unscrew the hook and cause it fall.
- Allow a minimum of 7.5' of clearance from the fan blades to the ground.
- Canopy Breeze will run indefinitely when connected to AC power.
- Canopy Breeze is not intended for permanent installation outdoors. Always store in its case when not in use.
- Permanent connection of the charger to an outlet will shorten its lifespan and void the warranty. Always unplug Canopy Breeze when fully charged or not in use.
End of Season Battery Care
In many geographic areas, Canopy Breeze is a seasonal product and will be stored away during the cooler months of the year. Before putting yours away for the season, it is good practice to put the fan in STORAGE MODE.
