Would this be ok outside if it got wet? No rain here in the desert but my patio has a misting system, so it might get misted. (I want to store something other than files in it)

I don't think it would hold up very well if it got wet. I don't believe the lock and other metal trim is rust proof and the inside is lined with a felt like material which you would not want to get wet.

I would not recommend letting it get wet. The sides, top, and bottom are press board covered with a thin black cover. It would be ok if you were to wipe off the water right away but not if it was to be exposed on a regular basis.

I wouldn't call it "water resistant" - I'm sure a light mist might not hurt it but I wouldn't expose it to repeated water or extreme sun.

With the exception of some nuts on the handle and underneath the cart, this can be safely kept outside. Leave it face up, and use the "dumping" lever to get rid of accumulated rain water and the nuts underneath won't rust. Alternatively, using a silicone-based spray on the exposed metal parts occasionally should also address any problems arising from it being stored outside. Other than its assembly directions being really unclear, I love this cart.

I don't think our environment is particularly wet, although maybe summer will be damp enough to cause some rust. Ours doesn't actually get water on it. It looks fine and holds the few towels we need, but it might rust if left out in a garage or used in a damp basement.

It's not built to withstand weather. So I doubt it should be outside unless very well protected. It's a good device though and I always received great support.

I would imagine you could have it outside. Very durable bag, just wouldn't want it to get rained on a lot. Mine is outside under a deck enclosure and has endured the Minnesota humidity.

If it could be kept dry. I have one under a carport area where it cant get wet and have had no problems.

I use mine outside in a grow tent, however, it should not get wet i.e. from rain, morning mist...

Should be fine if it happens to get wet. I wouldn't leave it in the rain for long though.

Sterilite Cabinet is absolutely Water Resistant - made of a heavy gauge Polymer material. Would work well for storage outside on your patio.

It can probably keep out sand if it was completely zipped. It doesn't seem as if it was waterproof--maybe water resistant, but I definitely wouldn't expect it to resist more than a few drops of water.

I have one, It's not meant to be used Outside. Certainly if you put it outside, it will work, but I wouldn't want to get it wet or leave it exposed to extreme weather. I don't see it being capable of withstanding the elements.

I think it would highly depend on your climate. Due to the fact that the majority of this storage bench is made of MDF (Medium density fiberboard) It would eventually swell and decompose in climates with a lot of humidity. Personally I do not recommend this as an outdoor item unless you live in a VERY dry area and keep it out of the elements where it cannot get wet, ie a covered porch area & even then it would certainly shorten the lifespan of said storage bench.

I wouldn't say it's waterproof/tight. The stuff I store in mine stays dry but the pieces just slide together, plastic to plastic. As another person posted, high winds with rain could cause leaks easily.

I think it's probably water resistant if it were to be rained upon. There is a battery compartment on the bottom and one of mine got a little moisture from some water run off on my patio. Not enough to harm it but you couldn't put it in water and should be careful that you don't have water seeping under it.

I don't see why not? Its made of plastic, so it can get wet, however its not sealed, so weather would get in through the doors. I think as long as you are storing items that can survive getting wet and the extremes of weather, it should be fine. Otherwise, I'd get one of those bench/box things.

Generally speaking, I would not recommend using this cage outdoors....I don't think the wood could handle too much humidity and definitely not rain. If the cage was located in a protected area and not exposed to rain or wind....such as a screened-in porch, it could probably handle that alright.

there is some water seepage....I have my planting soil in a large rubbermaid ziplock & it's kept dry. It is sturdy to hold books, however, but keep them sealed in heavy plastic.
