Can these things withstand the elements in the summertime? ie some rain, wind and sun? Or would you suggest storing after use.

I see no issue with keeping them outside in the elements of the summer. I store mine in the garage after using them though.

I got mine at the beginning of the summer and have not taken them down yet. They still look like the day we put them up and work great still. Given all the snow and ice we have had this winter, I'm very impressed with their quality. I have them clipped to the deck railing.

My two lamps are posted out in the sun and rain...mostly 80+degree sun and they look like new...the rustic look/finishing helps keep it looking natural and not old or worn. They hold up really well and do not feel flimsy at all.

I left them out all summer and they have been out all winter too and they seem fine . If they can withstand South Carolina summers they can handle anywhere . I have 8 of them around my pool . Of course if you do store then they will last longer .

We left ours out all summer through some fairly bad storms. They held up very well. We did store them for winter.

I had no issue, kept them outside all summer long, brought them in for winter. They look great.

No it can not be used out in the elements, I have mine under my eve but the items hanging from it are exposed.

I keep mine outside but under cover from direct rain. It has a battery pack that could get wet. Also the plastic could deteriorate over time in direct sun. I would say weather resistant but not weather proof.

You can put them in an enclosure but they are already are waterproof. Mine are outside and are exposed to all kinds of weather. Rain, 50 degrees to 120 degrees, and 70 mph winds. They do not generate any negligible heat.

Yes, I keep my in a storage compartment of my RV and use them for outside cooking. As long as they are kept moderately cool and dry, no problems so far.

They are a hard plastic, they can get wet, But there are some moving parts, so weather could effect those.

I would keep them out of extreme heat. I think they would be fine outdoors if not left in direct sunlight for an extended time.

Have had two of these up all last summer. They withstood thunderstorms and wind. They would withstand small twigs and tree trash. I highly recommend them.

Absolutely!! I've had them for almost 2 yrs now and they are completely exposed to the elements. So far, no complaints. They have kept color after two major winter storms and steamy hot summers.

Yes. But I don't think it would be able to withstand the elements. Wind,rain, etc

We have had them out all summer (put away in the winter) for 3 summers in New Jersey weather. They have held up beautifully for us. No issues at all. Hope this helps!

Yes they can be stored easily and the are relatively sturdy. They aren't made of steel but they are sturdy for the materials they are made of.

Unfortunately not. They are well made and can stand up to a lot of weather. My wife and I have used them on many occasions for backyard parties and are always pleased with how they look. However, when storing they take up a lot of space depending on how many you have.

I have tried them in an outdoor lamppost enclosure (rainproof) but they do not last due to degradation from the humidity. < 6 months even with occasional use. I am in the Southeastern USA; maybe in low-humidity regions they would last longer.

I do not think you could leave them out in the rain. I am very happy with them I use them for all my USPS shipping and will order them again soon.

We used them to cover pic rooms and they withstood wind & rain. Hope this helps.

They will be fine in a wet environment. Mine have weathered countless heavy thunderstorms and strong winds with no problems. Highly recommend them.
