I live in the Mohave Desert and do not have grass in my yard, only sand. Would this mat hold up and not warp or melt in up to 120 degree weather?

I can't imagine this mat melting, but then again... I do not live in such high temperatures either! I would also think that you would need several of these mats to be large enough for an outdoor play area. Also, just so you know... I love this mat, but it is not designed to be picked up and moved around without coming a part.

In my opinion I think they would hold up in the weather but the matting gets dirty very easily. It shows every foot print or piece of dirt. Hope that helps.

Melony, I have used it outside at a dog show. However, the product was in the shade and in a crate with a plastic floor. It remained fairly cool for my dog. I would not recommend leaving the mat in the sun or on warm ground. Same goes for leaving the mat in a hot car. I use the mat in the car with the air conditioning on and remove it when the car is parked/in the garage. It's just too hot in the desert southwest for the mat to remain cool even in a garage. Hope this helps.

Yes, I live less than 1/3 mile from beach, purchased end of last summer, it's been outside whole time. It's held up very well, under sun, early morning dampness, fog and rain. i have folded it up, and placed under overhang if the inclement weather lasts more than a few days, but it's still outside, and no sign of rust or breakdown of weave on tabletop or chairs. I've been satisfied with my purchase.

It should not be used outdoors without being covered. It does have a 3/4" top so it'll resist warping, but it won't resist damage related to water/snow directly on the table top. We used it outdoors on a covered patio.

It is a good mat. Has holes about 1/2 in diameter. Not sure how thick it is but it's not paper thin and has some weight to it. Does not seem to take on water--I have two of them one by my hot tub and the other on my deck. When it snows I shovel and then shake the snow out. I would recommend them. Hope this helps.

Sure. These mats are great. Have not used them outside but they are sturdy. Just read other answers, so I guess if you can keep them dry.

I live in NC where it is extremely hot & we have had absolutely no problem with the material breaking down. It's been in continual usage & looks just like it did when we first set it up. It is a very durable product.

I use my mat under an offset smoker On a natural wooden deck. Never had any issues with heat transference to the deck. The center of the mat is covered in a oil resistant carpet material. Concrete should be fine. However I would not leave it in place when not in use, the weathering will cause your concrete to discolor.

I echo Alan's response. It's pretty thick (which is a good thing for a mat like this) so you won't be able to roll it up tightly.

I'm not sure, however, I live in Nevada and it gets pretty hot in the Summer. I put mine under a tree and near the fence so it gets shade most of the day. It has been holding up pretty well, no warping yet.

I don't think it would melt- but it won't last long. We live in an area that gets 100 or more- and it hasn't melted, but I expect it to fade REALLY fast.

Not at all. It's actually very cool to the touch. We live in Arizona and we've used it in summer and cooler temps and it always is dry and cool to the touch. Perfect for beach or grass.

I have used it and left it inside my Honda Ridgeline, Honda CRV and Corvette Stingray on many hot Texas summer days. Nothing melted. I recommend this dash matt. It stays put and holds your items through almost 1G cornering (in the Stingray). Yet the mat itself is easily removed from the dash. The items you put on the matt are also easily removed from the matt. On other brand matts, removing the items from the matt often requires two hands and a little pulling. Dirt does accumulate on it, but a quick rinse in the kitchen faucet easily cleans it up. I use it for my Radar Detector and my cell phone. I have had it about 9 months.

Highly recommended. We took it to burning man last year.. In addition to the heavy winds, sand storms and extreme heat, it stood up pretty good in the rain one evening. I would recommend using commercial grade stakes to keep it bolted to the ground. The ones that are included are to flimsy.. Just my 2 cents..

I am not exactly sure how this would hold up in the extreme heat. I used this on the floor board of my pickup truck, and when it's super hot in the summer months, it gets a little bit sticky feeling. This product is like rubber in a can. If you wouldn't put rubber near extreme heat, I wouldn't put this near it either.
