Can I put it on my enclosed, unheated back porch? Will it hold it's temp? Live in the Northeast.

As long as the temperature in the room will stay above 50 degrees it will maintain the temperature.

Hi, I live in Mn so I will not be leaving it up in winter. It will be dark here by 5:30 so not much sun. It is not like a patio umbrella that would protect you from the rain. You could stay under the shade in a light shower but not a full rain. It does block wind. Your patio will stay cooler because the floor, patio furniture etc. will not get hot, therefore will not radiate heat. Very durable. I added extra grommets for more support. I use bungee cords to hang mine. Definitely recommend.

No, the instructions says it'll keep things about 40ºF below the surrounding temperature. I doubt your area would be below about 38ºC.

You would have to hang it from something (1st floor gutter) or mount it to a wall. It has no stand. It's not weather proof so you'll have to bring it indoors when you're done - or build a weather proof enclosure for it. Even then not sure how extreme temps and moisture would affect it? It also requires 110vac for it's motor.

Can definitely be stored in the garage or even a closet when not in use. It works best around 80 degrees. When it's 90 or hotter I don't even feel like it makes much of a difference. Still would rather have it than not though.

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.

The company recommends that you keep on a covered porch, barn or garage. I THINK if you don't use the heated bed it would be ok. It is well constructed.

We live in arkansas, so it would be better to keep it in the house or in the garage. During summer it would be ok on porch or patio.

We have ours outside on a covered porch. Out of the elements, but subjected to heat, humidity, and now cold. Still working great!

Because there are no reflective panels to provide the same radiant heat effect as a proper patio heater, you have to basically lean right into it (past the table edge) to get much effect at all. All the heat energy is going up. An enclosed porch might trap more heat, but all that warmed air is going up to the ceiling. So no.

You can use it in a covered porch, but it is not recommended because the finish may corrode. They do make an exterior grade one like this one.

I honestly don't know. I have it in my basement where it's always below 75 degrees F. It's vinyl so I would think it would be ok to a certain temp. But the adhesive might wear off and it would fall down if the door got too hot.

We have had this unit on back porch in middle Georgia since late February. There have been perhaps 10 nights where the temperature dropped below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. We have recognized no problems but we have had few occasions when callers were at the door during the hours of such coldness.

I have mine on back porch to store pool supplies. I love it! I live in E. Texas, where we do get some freezing weather. It is a sturdy building, so I'm sure it would hold up.

Mine is mounted inside my shed in my NH back yard. As I'm typing this it's -12 (F) out and it's working fine. My shed has seen temps past 100 degrees (higher internal temps) as well in the summers. I'd say it will work fine for you.

I do not know, but I doubt it. Mine has always been on a covered porch or inside.

it work great in my garage. but a open porch, and real cold may not work. i get it up to 80 in my garage. and i love it.
