I don't know that it was made to be left outdoors, but it is plastic and has a rough skid free side for the dogs to go up and down. It does come with a hook to secure to the car, but it would definitely need to be very secure for what you are considering as it can slip downward from the car if not secured. It's not very wide though to cover steps. We made our own ramp for steps using plywood actually, covered it with the outdoor grass stuff and secured it at the bottom, works great and it's wide enough to cover the steps. Good luck!

The materials are primarily plastic & rubber. The hinges are metal & would need to very regularly lubricated to make sure that it could folded when needed. Surface is dark grey and will get hot if placed in direct sun - burned paws.

It certainly is sturdy. I don't know if the sandpaper walking area is weatherproof. Could you email the manufacturer?

Sure but I wouldn't leave it out in the rain or anything. Also you still need a secure place to hang it from.

I don't know if it can because it doesn't specify....I would say not to use it outdoors because it can get damaged by the weather/elements. It doesn't seem sturdy enough to leave outdoors 24/7, but if you put it out only during the day and bring it in if bad weather occurs, I suppose it might be fine. However, I would advise getting one specifically made for outdoors.

Yes, I would advise securing it somehow, or maybe not leaving it in harms way during extreme weather conditions.....

It is made for indoor use. I don't think it is sturdy enough to leave outdoors- unless you plan to keep covered when not in use.

No, the deck can remain on, but depending on how deep the snow is, you may wish to remove it.

I have mine outside and it works in a protected area. However, if you want it to be strudy like the bike rakes you see at schools, it doesn't even come near. It could be bolted down but since it's in section it still could be uprooted.

Yes it certainly can...we did that. We did remove it off the deck for the winter and stored away the cover.

I cannot see why this would not work. If you are asking if you can leave it outside in an uncovered area, I would say this is not such a good idea. This will rust if exposed to rain and moisture. (I have had that experience with a stainless shelving unit similar in construction to this item.)

I used it outside I had to tape it down. Guess if ur going to be walking over it then yeah probably needs to be taped down.

I have not personally used it outside, but this is designed for indoor use. I am sure you could set it up outside and then take it back inside, but it is by no means rugged.

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

Yes this table can be left outside. It's been out on our deck off and on this spring; in rain & pollen and wipes off so easily

It needs to be staked down as otherwise it can tip over. You could probably secure to fence some way

There is no floor to it, so if your deck has space between the boards that could be an issue. There are loops to stake it down with, so if you could stake it in some way, I think it would be fine.

You can leave it on, but you end up with 3 sides blocked from the sun or breeze. I have used it that way.

Hey Brad, yes it's perfectly safe to leave outside in all weathers, ours has been on the pole under an umbrella now for a long time & works like it did from day one.
