can this be used outside? are there specific sinks for outdoors?

It shouldn't be a problem. The legs are coated so wouldn't rust any worse than patio furniture. Beware of pipes freezing.

Im not sure how long it would last against the sun. Its heavy plastic with legs that could rust. So for the price it would hold up for a while, but I can't say forever.

Mine's been outdoors since I got it last year and it's been great. I live in Georgia and we did have some freezing temps but not in the sustained way you'd have up north.

As far as the unit itself, no reason it can't be used outside. The legs are not very strong but depending on where in the U.S. you live, don't see a problem.

It is says it can be used outdoors . I would use it in a green house. However, I haven't had mine a year and the bottom shelf rusted out. Next time I will spray it with Rustoleum before I put it out on my porch. Wouldn't buy this one again.

It is designed for a vessel sink because of the height. You could probably use it with an undercount sink but it may splash to much.

No,it is not intended for outdoor use, however if it is placed where it will not be directly exposed to the elements, it should be fine. If you place it under a porch, gazebo, or similar protection, so that it isn't soaked by a rainfall, there should be no worries.

I suppose you can put it anywhere you want. It's made for outdoor use and it makes a terrific light by the doors to our deck. Personally I wouldn't use it over a sink but I guess you could if you think it would look right.

While we do not use it outdoors it seems like it would do fine there. The top is stainless. The base is chrome so you may get some rusting over time. I'd say seasonally fine, it's also not very expensive.

It's actually a decent size sink. We installed in our outdoor living kitchen (undermount w/ granite) we do not use it too much since it's outdoor - however it could work nicely as a 2nd sink for indoor kitchen.

I don't believe it is for outside use. We've only installed them inside commercial spaces. I would confirm their intended usage via the Elkay website.

Yes, definitely can use outside. The only risk is going down any slope, there are no brakes, so flat areas are best. My kids love it, and well built, had it for over a year now.

Negative it is not designed for outdoor use! Unless you enclose it somehow so the weather can't get to it! Hope it helps!

It could be used outdoors but you would need to clean it more often. The waterflow is adjustable so you can set it to discourage any waterborne insects.

No, this is not for outdoor use, unless you can keep it covered such a way that there is no chance of getting water into it. This is an electrical equipment with electronic circuitry and any water getting in will certainly and immediately damage it.

I would not use it outside, but if water got spilled on it it would not do any damage , very nice bench.

I think that the sink's design is for mounting under a Corian, granite or other solid surface counter top. I did top mount mine but it was for an unique application--outdoor sink on a rolling, wooden stand. During the current CA drought, we want to wash fruit and veg and pots and pans outside and drain the water into the garden.

It doesn't say that it can be used in something as a large outdoor pond. Please contact the manufacturer before you buy this product. Thank You, Shop2themax

I use mine outdoors. It works very well. I think it would also work fine for a smaller dog if placed in the bathtub but would be too messy otherwise.
