Will these last if installed in a patio overhang outdoors and remain outdoors? We live at the beach. Will they last in rain and wind?

Hi Rob, As far as I know I left mine out for about a week in the rain and I didn't have any problems. I only had mine up for a couple weeks for a party so it was just temporary. Hopefully this helps?

They work very well outside. I have mine on my outdoor deck stairs and I live in a rainy enviornment. They are intact and no issues.

I left two outside all winter. We had severe winds often. They are attached to my wood patio awning and a tree. No damage to the wood structure (built like a deck) however one of the shades tore at the corner. The other weathered everything and is still hanging.

Not sure how long they last.. kind of depends on if the wind is blowing a lot plus if you're in open space... wind will cause it to move faster! If your in open view it's so much nicer because you can see it for a long time!

I got mine in the Fall so I haven't had them long enough to know how they will hold up. I'm in Vegas so they will have to endure "very" direct sunlight and extreme heat. I can do a follow up after the Summer when I know how they survived.

I have these installed in a motorhome. I dont use them a lot but after a year they work fine. I dont know how well they would hold up being outside with the humidity.

just put mine up but I plan on keeping them up all year. Im in PA so it will get crappy outside but they are "outdoor" speakers so if you can mount them under something for alittle protection they should be ok. They sound great for the $$ by the way.

Mine are outside, but on a covered porch. I've had them for 1 summer and they have held up well, but have not been directly in the sun or weather. The front seems to be a sturdy outdoor fabric, but the back is a softer fabric so may not fare well in harsh conditions.

I live in Orange County, CA (between LA and San Diego). They do not hold up under direct or indirect sunlight. Chairs under covered patio are OK, those that have any exposure to sunlight have fell apart after one year. Only buy these if you live in the polar regions of the country, or have them inside or covered at all times.

The fixture will hold up fine with wind and ice/rain if installed securely. It is a strait forward simple design. The shade is not deep so the bulb would be exposed to a driving rain. I use an indoor outdoor decorative bulb. Fixture is all metal, baring a direct hit from a wind driven projectile I expect this fixture to last indefinitely..

Not very long, but I take mine down if I am home before it rains. The weather elements and sun, heat ect. seem to fade and weather some materials so I don't take a chance. I love these in my oak tree, they work great.

Mine are outside under a covered porch but the rain blows in on them and they are in full southern sun all afternoon. About 6 months so far and they look brand new. The material looks like it will survive anything, The finish may fade eventually and they may rust. I wouldn't have any concerns about leaving them outside with a cover.

I've bought about a dozen of them for my back yard... I live in miami and i just had one good bad 2 weeks ago with not a lot of rain fall for the last couple of months. I would say they seem to be water resistant. But non the less happy with the product.

We use them for exterior with no problems. They are somewhat protected by our carport but are holding up fine

Our chairs are on an open patio. It has been very windy on several occasions and the chairs have never blown over. We had 40 mph wind gusts last week and still no movement.

I have mine mounted where they get sun a lot of the day, and slightly wet when it rains. Had for almost 2 seasons with no problems. I do take them down in winter, but that are up for atleast 8 months a year.

I don' know if they are intended for outdoor use. However, I live near a beach and almost everything reacts to the humid and ocean spray conditions. After about 2 years these fixtures have held up very well.
