Will tension floor rising screens move at all if a ceiling fan is 2 to 4 feet away from it when on maximum setting ?

I can't find any video of someone testing it and doubt I ever will.
 
Check out the back tension support(s). Screens with a single center support are more sensitive to air movement than those that have two supports, one at each end. Still, most screens will "flutter" if there is enough air movement relative to their tension.

Every once in a while someone will post a comment at Amazon on the screens sold there and mention that the AC blower moves their screen. How much probably depends on the model.

Thanks ok well how much mph in wind speed do most ACs create please ?
