I am looking for something to put on my patio. Will it absorb water and mildew??

I only use mine indoors beneath my treadmill, so I cannot honestly answer that question. Sorry.

I have it outside on my garden porch. It is partly covered, but water blows in. It seems to protect my gadgets and wipes off fine.

No it would absorb water and be too heavy and then dry out and shrink. Not weather proof.

It is ok. It will hold up a little bit but not forever. The sun and rain will eventually make it rot as it does with everything. We live in southwest Florida and even our patio umbrellas get dry rot.

I don't live in a humid area, but the cover is water-proof and black so if mildew formed on it, at least it wouldn't really show.

In my experience, absolutely not! The stain on the bench washed off at the first rain, and left color on our concrete patio that had to be removed. Customer service from the seller was not helpful.

The patio floor will become wet only if the relative humidity is very, very high. Most hots days even with high relative humdity the moisture will stay around a bit longer. The product does work but you have to keep it clean (nozzles) and it must be near an AC outlet and obviously a water (hose) connection. Also, don't put it right in front of you at a very close distance as the high fan setting with moisture spray will leave a little damp spots here and there. However, the whole point of the device is to cool the air around you with a mist spray.

I leave mine on a covered patio. I would not just leave it outside uncovered because it will ruin it.

This is not a waterproof fabric so I'm sure it would sink through and probably mildew/mold quite quickly.

Yes, the plants will absorb more water from the cypress mulch probably more than any other mulch. This mulch holds a really good bit of water.

I was going to return mine, but decided to use it outside on my patio. I wouldn't use it indoors, I had it outside for a week to air it out and it still stunk, so I just kept it outside.

Yes, it lets light and water through but it is another layer so the light is reduced. I would not use it for long times without giving your plants a "breather".

To be honest, in the description it does say weather resistant.......I would imagine that might include moisture to a lesser extent, but I wouldn't let it get to wet from splashing. I'm not an authority on this subject but it's usually prudent to keep it as dry as possible. I wish I could be more helpful.

There is about a half inch to three quarters of an inch thickness. The holes are about an inch each. No it does no absorb water. I use it in a portion of a garage where water collects so one does not get their shoes wet.

It should be protected from water and weathering elements. I have mine underneath my house. The first one I had was ruined when a water pipe burst and got it wet. I know someone else who has it on their porch.

Sadly, not permanently. After a while it loses color and you will get some mildew if it get directly wet daily. I considered Thomson's Water Sealing it but instead put it outside to be used in my bbq area.

I wouldn't say it's good for that because of the pressure. Great for garden watering and the hose is light so easy to stretch out long distances. I don't think you can add another attachment to the hose to make the pressure better though...so I wouldn't suggest it for the patio washing.
