Can this be used for the outdoors? Wanted to make sure it would be ok in outdoor weather conditions such as rain.

Yes, Fresh Patch is designed to work great outdoors on a deck or balcony. It is recommended to elevate the box off the ground if it will be used in an area where rain puddles collect.

Not water resistant at all if it's left outside. Perhaps can withstand a light rain moving from one place to another but that's it. I think you could help it a little with water proofer like what you use on tents, shoes, etc but that's just for a light protection.

I think it would be best not to leave it outside. Rain and wind would probably damage it. It seems very delicate.

I wouldn't recommend for outdoor use unless it was a covered area. I don't think the wood could handle any rain and it's not heavy enough to stay standing in wind or even a strong breeze.

I wouldn't use it for heavy duty rain, or steady rain/wet. Could be okay in minor drizzles etc. but don't think it would keep things dry in serious wet conditions.

If you are trying to find out, if this could be used in the RAIN? the answer io NO! all OUTDOOR electrical related items, have to seal so that no water gets into the electrical connection.... this item is not set up for that.... but if you are looking to use it in a DRY outdoor event.... you will be fine!

I would suggest you check with the manufacturer to be 100% sure. My disclaimer answer would be "NO", its not intended for outdoor use. But if you are using it in a dry setting where there is absolutely no water, liquids, snow near or touching it, I don't see why it would be a problem.

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

It would probably be okay, but I would make sure it wouldn't be where rain could get to it. I know the specs say it can be used outdoors, but I wouldn't chance it getting wet. Also, your USB cable has to be plugged in to a USB port within 25'.

Only if it is dry...I wouldn't want it rained on or plowing through wet grass. Hope that helps, R

It's not waterproof. You could only use it outside if it was completely protected from the rain .

I have never used it in the rain, I would image that it would work. If I had to use it in the rain I would. I would just put it further under my vehicle to protect it from the rain before I lifted it.

If by that you mean "is it water proof", almost nothing electrical that isn't sealed is safe for outdoor use. On the other hand it is ruggedly built with an on-off switch to turn on-off electrical power. But I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain.

I would not use this outdoors unless it was protected from water/moisture. Fire/injury risk if it gets wet, not sealed to be waterproof.

I would not recommend it for outside use, its for indoor items that you constantly have to plugin and unplug, like cell phones, coffee makers, things like that. Outside have ground fault, if it gets wet if trips the fault. This item is not made for being exposed to the elements as far as I can see.

No. I believe it can only be used outside. I've only used it outside and it works great.
