We live in rural Kansas on a dusty road. Will this collect dust and eventually come off? Also it gets in the 100's in the summer, will it"melt" off?

We used it in FL on the pool cage, it did fall off when a squirrel walked over it. They like to run on the pool cage. But on another spot it held all during the heat. Not sure if collects dust or not because it is up high on the cage. Hope this helps.

I live in CA and the temperature has already reached 98 degrees on a few days. The patch has not fallen off. I imagine that the patch will get as dusty as the rest of your screen, but will probably not fall off.

I'm in sunny, hot Florida. Have not had on throughout the summer yet, but looks great and I think the product is going to work fine. Saw thus on "shark tank" and love the family selling it, so I hope it is the product that works for all of us.

It looks like it could withstand an occasional rain or light snow storm. I wouldn't let it sit outside the whole summer without protection, nor let snow pile up around it. Nonetheless, this is just my speculation as I've never had opportunity for it to get rained or snowed upon.

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.

I would recommend weather sealing it first. It should hold up fine. But I'm in the hot desert. So I would find some clearciat spray and spray it. It should do just fine then. It is great quality

I live in southern AZ (110 deg. summer temps). Used the cover in KS (summer/winter 2013) with no issues. After moving to AZ, the cover deteriorated quickly over the spring/summer/fall of 2014. I'd estimate the cover will last approx. 1-2 years if used in southern AZ. Most RV covers are made out of similar material, so not sure switching brands would help. IMO, this cover is still a good investment. I'd rather have a deteriorating cover than a deteriorating RV.

From the texture of the material it does retain a certain amount of moisture during a rain it does not penetrate the cover but may freeze when moist and make for a difficult removal. I now live at the southern coast but have lived in a northern snowy climate and realize it could be a possible problem.

It's rip stop, so it dries pretty well. I have left it outside sometimes with no ill effects. Garage? If it is permanently outside, even with a cover, it will wear out sooner, that is just how it goes. But it will take years before it fails. I am very happy with mine.

yes. we live in midwest, just had another 7 inches of snow and this mat has been a lifesaver so far. all melting snow has been contained and we just use the wet/dry vac to clean it up if it gets too full. if it is just a little water it will evaporate.

I'd say so! I live in Seattle where we have a lot of dust due to being in a Volcano region. I'm very happy with it. Great product!

No, it won't melt. It did not melt in the Florida sun BUT ... it became just too sticky to keep. I tried washing it, putting talc on it, oiling it, etc ... after 1 1/2 yrs I threw it away. But if you can figure out how to overcome the stickiness, it's a great cell phone caddy.

The short answer would be most likely...... but in a driveway with cars going over it and weather issues it would wear off I would think or be damaged. I have used it outdoors and it is still holding strong on my rain gutter for the past year. Send an email to the company and ask them.

We have fairly strong winds too, but the mesh was thinner than I expected and ended up doubling up the mesh. This worked for me and as long as you tie it up well it should hold up. It's not very porous so it should hold the dust back, but again, you'll likely have to double it up. I hope this helps.

In wet Oregon climate,, not a lot of sun,, it might last 3 yrs.In wet Oregon it started to "curl" after 2 years and I tore it out!The PROBLEM is UNDER this material your gutter gets filled with all sorts of fine materials. i.e. anything that washes off your roof fills the rain gutter UNDER the product, thus you have to do maintenance anyway... grrrrrr!I tore it out after 2 years to remove 1/2 to 3/4 inch of mud and typical "asphalt fines" that built up in the bottom of the gutter... What does this build up of material do? It stays wet longer so your gutters rust out quicker.I would suspect in any hot climate the product curls and shrinks more in the heat.Sounds good but not worth the $'s.

No, I have never had it come off even in summer heat and humidity. I really like it; just don't put too much.

We live in west TX and during the summer it can get up past 100 and is usually pretty dry. We have had our light up for a couple of years and it's still working like new. There's no wear at all. We have ours set up over our garage doors. Keeps our driveway well lit after dark. BTW, if you don't want to hot wire it, it can be done with relative ease. Reply if interested. Hope this helps...

It does not get hot in summer-sun. Just know it is a bit small. I drive a Nissan Altima, and this barely fit my steering wheel (really had to pull hard to get it on). The fuzziness also fades quickly (not as soft anymore).

I live in Tucson, where it gets brutally hot in the summer. I have only owned this since November though. It did get rained on once, and it did not seem to affect its operation. All in all it seems like a pretty solid piece of machinery. Recommend you get a cover for it.
