Patio/Porch Fan

We have a screened in porch which is approximately 20x20. I have a standard ceiling fan which just doesn’t get the job done. I’m not expecting to be out here when it’s 90 degrees and be cool, but is there a better solution for nights when it’s 80s and I’d like to sit out here?

Could wire up a couple more fans to move more air.
You never mentioned what kind of roof is on the porch. Is it a metal roof with the metal exposed from underneath and radiating the days heat down on the porch? If so, there's not going to be much in the way of regular fans that will help in that situation.

Vivor 18in wall fans.
I have four of them under a metal roof. Even when it's 95, it's tolerable.
I point all four in the same direction and it it turns over all of the air every 1 minute.
4000 cfm × 4.

Thanks but I’m not paying $1,000+ for a porch fan. I’ll avoid the porch until fall time for that kind of money!

Friend of mine has what I think is an ideal set-up for outdoor entertaining in the heat of our summers.
He has what amounts to a pavilion on his property that is about 3K sq. ft., open on all sides and built on a slab with the metal roof about 15 ft. above the slab. He has several large standing fans that sweep about 90 degrees each and has a sprinkler type system to wet his roof to help keep it cooler.
Whatever water that runs off is directed by gutters and drain pipes to a nearby pond that supplies the water for spraying the roof.
It is very tolerable even on the hottest of days.
