Can this be kept outside in the elements?

The bar is made of aluminum, so it should be ok (i.e. rust resistant). But it could certainly be blown around, etc. Frankly, if you're looking to keep it outside permanently, you might want to look into getting something more heavy duty if it doesn't need to be assembled/disassembled regularly.

Yes, I would think so... just watch out for rusting. But the material is very sturdy, like heavy industrial pipe.

It is made of painted metal so it should be safe to keep outdoors. The only problem I see is the potential for it to rust

NO! It is not strong enough to withstand weather. It is only for internal (inside buildings, houses, etc) use not for outdoor use.

I think it can be outside if it's in a covered area away from the elements. It's a sturdy bench and easy to maintain but if it's left out in the elements it may get a little messed up.

I have put it outside in the sun, but i don't leave it outside. I live in Florida and sometimes it is to humid outside, and i don't want it to rust or get dirty.

No I would not keep this outside, I would use some type of Rubber Maid or pool or deck bench as those are made for damp, wet weather

I would not use it exposed to the elements (ie rain). We used it in our shed which is a damp environment and it did fine, but if using outdoors I think I would have it in some kind on sheltered area.

This item is not specifically intended to be kept outdoors. It may show signs of weathering over time.

Well, once you own it, you can do anything you want with it. But considering that it is a pressed paper (cardboard) tube, it wouldn't be prudent to leave it exposed to the elements.

It seems to be. I wouldn't leave it where the elements, like rain, snow, etc can get to it.Hope this helps.

The directions say to keep it out of direct sunlight and given that it's metal and would therefore heat up outside, I'm going to say that I wouldn't advise it. Plus, it's not really meant for the outdoors, I don't think. While it's perfectly sturdy for indoor use, I wouldn't want to expose it to the elements.

Certainly, it is built to withstand the elements. We leave it up outside if it will be used consecutive days, otherwise it easily folds flat to store along the garage wall.

Yes provided that the unit is protected from the elements: freezing, rain, direct sunlight. Some customers who put it outside will build a little shed or "doghouse" for it.

Yes, it can be placed outdoors. The critical controls are protected by a clear plastic cover. Make sure your power source is fully grounded if you live in a wet environment.

Yes, if they have some kind of covering. I have 2 outside in a wooden box on the deck. I wouldn't put them where its exposed to the elements.

I wouldn't leave it outside. We bought this for my grandson (who loves it by the way) & while it does get used outside on nice days, it's not left outside due to the fact that the material its made from is not really conducive to the outdoor elements.
