Our bench is on our porch. So far so good against rain and sunny days in Florida. However, this item is not very steady.

Works great outdoors. I keep the open bag part covered. Very well made and easy to assemble.

The frame certainly is (i.e. all the coated metal parts), though you might want to remove the inserted bag over the winter.

I live in Colorado and I use it under my deck, which is open on all sides but of course the deck above give it some protection. It has weathered the blistering summer from last year and gone through rain and snow and is still looking new. Rain and water seem to bead up and roll off. For the price I don't think you can beat it. I bought two due to the size of the area I wanted to work in.

Yes very much so...I am in Florida so it rains everyday during the summer. The unit is powder coated and so far there has been no rust or corrosion at all. I am using two of them as plant tables for my herbs and they get watered every day. Good buy for the money.

I just got mine but when it rains the water seems to bead up on it. I think it's going to work good keeping it outside all year.

No. Not in my opinion, It has no real weatherproofing. It will need to be protected from the elements.

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

Yes, it can be left outdoors in the rain, but we like to bring it indoors if we're expecting very heavy rain, just to be safe. I wouldn't leave it out in the winter if your area gets cold and snowy.

I keep mine outside but it is under cover of my overhang so it is not in the rain. Winter store it on garage and still use it when weather is nice

I've used mine outdoors for a year with no issue. It appears to be a pretty weather tight unit.

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.

That is a question the manufacturer would have to answer. We have owned ours for 3 years and remain very satisfied. It is outside, but under cover, so I am unable to comment about how it weathers.

I wouldn't leave it outside over the winter especially with the winter we had last year. Extreme temps cause things to wear out faster and can affect how they work. I'd store it in a garage or shed so it's not exposed to the elements. Coleman recommends keeping it covered when not in use as rain can also cause the parts to deteriorate and rust.

The place where I am is very dry.... but from finish it appears it can take the outside porch mid East coast weather.. it is very sturdy and very well finished. .. I guess until you have this soaked in rain regularly, this will do fine. .. Good luck. .

I bought one of these 4 years ago. I move it outside for the warm months (May-Oct) and bring it in for the winter. I live in Washington, DC, so it has been out in the rain and sun. Mine has not rusted. I love it!

We leave it out - we live in Southern California. It is only exposed to heat and sun, and it hasn't cracked, and only has faded minimully. Sorry, not sure how it would hold up to real weather.

Mine is being used indoors only, and from what i could see during the installation, this is not exactly weather proof. Mine works well, but it is indoors.

It's kind of weather proof, I've had mine out there for a few years and the rain finally got to it. Actually, I think it was a combination of rain and snow as well as expansion and contraction. So, I have to buy a new one every about 3 years or take it inside every winter.

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.
