Can you leave this bed outside at all times, even in rain? I'm looking for something to keep on the back deck, and I don't want to bring it inside.

Yes you can and it wipes off nicely with a cloth or sticky roller. My pampered pooch thinks it a bit thin because he kinda folds and then lays down. It's easy for him to take in and out of the dog house too.

My dog is an outside dog. We have the bed on the back patio but it is in a covered protected area. As far as I can tell it is resistant to water but again ours is in a protected area. I am really pleased with the bed.

Ann, I ended up sending this item back, so I am not sure, but I can perhaps point you to a product that might work for your needs. We have two of them. I use other beds in the house. They are called coolaro. There are multiple vendors who sell them and they have varied sizes. Great for dogs with hip issues and they last a long time. We've had one at least 7 years. Outside in all sorts of weather. I did have to replace the fabric once after about 6 years or so. Great value in my book. Hope that helps!

The inner walls of my canopy were dripping from condensation when I got back to my tent in the morning. Some of the books I had in the tent got warped from the water. It had not rained. I definitely wouldn't leave anything super important in the tent overnight if I thought it was going to rain.

Absolutely, this is not an outdoor bed. It is for indoor use only. The bed has a heating pad that is activated when the cat lays in it, and warms enough to make them cozy. My cat is hard to get out of this bed, but I would never put it outside for him. They do have other beds that can be used outside and they are waterproof. I don't think this one is, in any case I wouldn't trust it to be.

I have left mine in the rain with no problems. I put mine in our storage building for the winter, just to protect it from the elements. I suppose you could leave it outside, but I personally don't think that is the best care for your equipment.

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.

No. The unit in my opinion is not durable enough to be left outside. If you brought back in after use u should be ok. I personally have not took it outside.

You can collapse it so it isn't standing up in case of strong winds. If you live in an area with year-round moderate weather, you should be able to leave it outside, but I do recommend collapsing it when not in use.

Yes, I only use it outdoors. I put it in the shed if rain is expected, though.

Yes we leave ours outside all year. Just tir it down for wind storms. It has no damage from the weather and we have had ours for 2 years.

Sure you can use it outdoors. It has a small battery box on it that would probably be completely ruined, but you are free to put the thing any place you want. Just don't expect it to last long out there if it starts raining...

Yes! We have left ours outside in the rain and so far have had no problems.

I think rain resistant is a good term. I've had mine for a year now and keep my golf clubs, shoes, and golf GPS in the back and don't ever worry about it. It takes a sideways rain for me to notice any water in the bed, or a trip thru an automatic carwash. But overall it's highly resistant. I love the convenience and speed of it and will trade off an occasional few raindrops in the bed.

Should be fine if it happens to get wet. I wouldn't leave it in the rain for long though.

Well as I have washed mine plenty of times, and no it is of no use outside. Unless you have an overhang to protect it from the rain.

Mine is inside I don't think I would put outside unless it could be out of the weather.I do love it.

I have one on my deck in Oakland, CA...we get rain, but no freezing temps or snow, and it can be quite hot and sunny in the summer. Mine has held up well to that, but I did add more finish to it when I got it. It does not do a good job keeping stuff dry inside...it is very much for storage, looks, and seating - and not for dry storage.

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.
