Can the ramp be kept outside from May until Sept/Oct with rain and different weather conditions?

It's made of steel and the rubber mat it adhered extemely well but anything metal would need to be wiped down after rain or in time it will rust. Extremely well made though.

Mine is made into a permanent outside ramp and stayed out during the winter and the snow

I live in Washington State and the ramp has been kept outside all year and still looks the same as the day it was put in.

The anti-skid surface is 3M (or similar) sheet that has an adhesive back. If left exposed to the sun and rain, the adhesive can, over time tend to get moisture underneath and may fail. If you can turn the ramp over so that the anti-skid surface is down, then it should last a long time. Also, if left outside with the anti-skid surface up, there is a tendency for foreign material to get between the sliding parts and make it harder to retract and extend. If it is upside down, then this should not be as much of a problem. It is a very good product that we have used several years.

We have ours out exposed to the weather and have not had any issues with it. So I would say yes!

We just purchased this in the Spring and will leave it out in the winter in Maine-- it is filled with sand so it shouldn't be a problem.

If it isn't too rainy I could go almost a month before spiders and such returned to my deck. If it rains pretty heavy, maybe weekly.

We don't use our outside at all but I would guess it would need to be taken in when not in use..it doesn't seem like it would be weather tight.

Have had mine for a year, with all the weather conditions and rain, still not a problem. They are also sturdy, some are very flimsy and do not move smoothly on the deck.

I have not used it outside, I don't think you can't use it outside unless it's covered from the rain

Yes, if your weather is not severe. Our Granddaughters love this tent, it is really lovely!

It is made of wood, so I am not sure it would last as long if used outside in bad weather. If used outside on a nice day, it would probably be fine.

I suppose you could try to put it on the outside, but my guess is that the weather would take it down for you after a while. I put it on the inside, and it works just great.

We have left this outside many times and it stands up to the rain and sprinkler system just fine. If it starts to get windy we just unhook it from the sides and bottom and closed it like a curtain. During the winter we did take it down and stored it.

Haven't used it in rain but if covered I'm sure it would still work. It can be moved 5 ft fairly easily by one person as ling as it's not up an incline. It is heavy but comes with wheels you can attach.

I have been using this for 6 years I would not put expensive items in it . Stuff that can take some water this building is not rain proof. I'm getting ready to move it to the inside wall of my carport. I think it will be fine there.

Being in San Diego, it's not an issue since we rcvd zero rain the month of January! However, I would not want to get the membrane controls on top wet. The vent is on the side, so no problemo.

Yes. In the event of rain, you can't leave anything in the canopy area, it will get soaked.

I have had mine for over a year. I have ridden in rains but not as much as you might. No issues at this time. I think you would be ok riding then put a small baggy over while parked.
