The item description says "for indoor use only." Is there really some reason we couldn't use this outside in a sheltered spot?

My guess is that the plastic tank might melt in heat or crack in cold and the bowl part although stainless steel might get hot or freeze in cold. I personally would buy something that's made for outdoor use and skip this.

I don't see any reason why this can't be used outside in shaded area besides water getting hot or cold due to outside weather conditions. Hope this helps.

I have been using mine on the patio for years. I use it to feed the local critters like the squirrels. It is in the shade most of the time. The bottle part is plastic and if left in direct sunlight for hours I would imagine it might melt.

Yes You can, there is no reason you can't this idem holds over 2 gallons of water and is quite sturdy, definitely the best water feeder out there.

I have one for indoor & outdoor use. The one outside is within a breeze way. I noticed mosquitoes will lay lay eggs in the water bowl and there can be hundreds swimming around. Evidently they can make their way up the holding tank because I have found flying mosquitoes inside that must have come to maturity before the tank refilled with water which was once a week.

Not at all. It is all plastic with a metal bowl, so no problem with using outdoors.

The plug is UL listed for indoor use only. Not to say it wouldn't work outside, but it is sold for indoor use. :)

It is for outdoor use only. I would not use it inside for any reason. Works great outside. Hope this helps.

I don't know....mine is inside. I guess it'd be OK outside as long as it's undercover, & not continuously exposed to direct sunlight.

Indoor only, you would need to enclose it in a weathertight case to use it outside.

I do not think this is for use outdoors--I believe is is for indoor use only but you could check with the manufacturer.

I'd imagine you could use this for outdoor, but I believe it's mostly for indoor use.

My daughter uses it inside her house, so I have no experience with it being placed outside. Judging from the materials it's constructed of, I would offer that if you intend to use it in an outside environment that has wide temperature ranges, it may not hold up.

Not in my opinion. It appears to be suitable for indoor use only. I would not use it in an outside enviorment. I would suggest nylon screen for your idea.

My husband seems to think it's only for indoor use. Sorry not exactly sure. We ended up buying one similar at Home Depot. Sorry for the delay in aswering your question I did not see this in my e-mail.

Don't know that would use it indoors. It's made to preserve wood outdoor. Not sure why you would want to use it indoors?

I contacted the company earlier and they said that it is NOT meant for outdoors. Thanks for all the answers.

I think the manual says it can be used outside. We have only used ours inside.

You could use it inside. I would not. It is extremely heavy and made for outdoors.

That is up to you. It is not designed for outdoor use or would be covered under the manufacturer's return policy if used that way

It can be used outdoors. However, it would work better in a shady location if you are using it lighted. I use mine indoors and notice when the sun hits the signs, the lights are not as noticeable. It is NOT weather proof so don't leave out in rain or other extreme conditions.

i think it can be used outdoor if there is no rain ,if not , it only can be used indoor
