Will this teepee work for outdoor play?

It is made of sturdy canvas, canvas bottom also. But it would not be waterproof, and in time it would get mildew. So for short time play-off yes, but I wouldn't leave it outside for long periods of time. It was great for indoor play during a long cold winter.

It should be fine on pavement, BUT it would definitely behoove you - especially if you're settling-up in, "windy conditions" - to put some weights on the bottoms of the legs of the canopy. As far as assembly goes, "in theory", you should be able to assemble/erect this canopy single handedly, but I'd recommend utilizing at least a two person team to do it - THREE would be even better. Assembling by one's self can take anywhere from approximately 10 to 20 minutes; 2-3 people, 5-10 minutes.

It is not padded so make site it is on a rug or grass if you will use slide. I think slide would work - I have both but did not use them together.

It is made of an unfinished wood. To use it outside you would have to put some kind of finish on it to protect it from the elements. Other than that it would work.

We love it! We plan on putting it out in the boys fort, but it is covered. It is made out of wood, but I don't think it would want to get too wet...

No, I can't see it being for outside use. The wooden parts aren't treated. We use it at the bottom of our stairs to the second floor so our grandchild can't climb up unattended.

Yes it can. Ours was hung in place of a regular swing. We have had it 2 years on our community play ground and it has held up great.

we only used it outside, from my experience if you set it up in the garage you can not secure it to the floor with the sticks , it is going to move around as kids jump in it....

Not sure it's meant for outdoor use. I would think it would be fine as long as it doesn't get rwined on.

Yes it has sustained well outdoors. I have it setup underneath a covered patio and have had no issues. Also, as far as assembly... It's pretty much pre assembled. The sides fold out and the shelves slide into the unit and fit into place. Very quick setup

It should be fine outdoors. The surface is gritty allowing traction if the ramp gets wet. It is made of aluminum so it will not rust.

Yes it will. You may just need some weight on it. My kids used it in the grass so it didn't move.

I don't think it would hold up well outside. It is very well built/designed but I believe it was intended for inside use. It may do okay on a covered patio that was sheltered from the weather or it might do okay if you lived in a very dry area with little precipitation, but even in direct sun contact, I think the quality would go down quickly. We have it inside and we have loved it. Great toy! Hape products are impressive

Yes, but do remember that it is electric. You do not want it subjected to wet weather. The outside is a sturdy plastic so it should be fine outdoors.

I think so. I would recommend using ground stakes to keep it well anchored to the ground.

It would depend on the outdoor conditions. It would work. But it's not going to be amazing

The wood pieces are around the sides underneath to give it strength. I think if you give the wood a few coats of paint or varnish to protect it, it should stand up to being outside.
