Is it water tight? I want to store supplies outside. In the Iast one, a plastic garbage can, everything got mildewed with water in bottom

The metal clasp secures the lid very tightly. I would say that this should be able to keep water/moisture out based on the seal it creates. I can't say 100% as I use mine for dust collection.

Our charge controller is mounted inside a storage locker so it stays dry. Once the panel had been in service for a few days, I taped some plastic over the electronics area on the underside of the panel to help keep water out. Months later I added a bead of clear caulk around the frame, for the same reason. Figured it couldn't hurt.

The ExpoDisc is not watertight. If you leave it outside over night, you will get condensation in it.

It seems pretty tight and secure. Although I would put it inside a garbage plastic bag if I decided to store it outdoors.

It's pretty tight but, I can't guarantee air tight. I would store food items in it.

The water still goes through but not as bad. Their is a plastic containment inside the pack that catches a majority of the liquid, overall I really love this back pack but I wish it was 100% leak proof .

It is made of plastic so I would think it would be waterproof. the drawers close tight but the only way to know for sure is to let it sit out in a pouring rain.

It's not air tight. The lid just sits on top of the plastic. I wish it was. I place mine on top of the counter and have not had any bug problems. Sometimes bug problems come from the supplier. Make sure you buy good rice that are in bags and not the bulk (from bins or dispensers) that have been sitting out in the open for a long time.

It's not airtight. I use mine for poop but I use it outside. I think inside it will smell eventually. I never smell it outside

It is not completely watertight. I've had no problems in rainy weather, but the car wash can get past the seal. The contents are safe in the rain. It's a great cover. Thumbs up.

Hi X Fan, Yes, the tank is water tight. You may fill it with water. If there is anything else we may help you with, please let us know. John HaynesCustomer ServiceeTeam SpecialistCarolina Biological Supply Company

I would say it is watertight not waterproof. If you were to leave it out in the rain eventually it would weather enough and start leaking. I have mine located under a patio roof.

We got this last fall and there have been no leaks yet - from rain or snow. My husband is impressed with the design. There is an outside lip on the lid and then an inside lip on the bottom. So unless the lid is open, water should not be able to get in. Hope that helps!

No, it is not weather tight. I do not recommend using outside. It will leak if subjected to rain.

I don't think they are designed to be watertight. For that, I would expect a rubber gasket. I've had no trouble keeping juicy fruit or Ketchup out of neighboring compartments, though. And I didn't notice any changes over time.

I use this to store the horse feed outside & have never had any problems with water resistance. I did get some ants inside once, so obviously it isn't totally sealed.

What type of material is the inside lining? Is it water-proof/stain-resistant? Want to use as laundry basket for dishcloths and soiled baby clothes. Not sure how it will hold up to the dampness, mildew-wise. Also, will the small bin be able to hold one load of washing?
