Can this go outside (and stay there?) I am looking for an outdoor option for the top of deck stairs.

Thank you for your question. For use outside, we recommend the Summer Infant Indoor and Outdoor Multi-Function Walk-Thru Gate.

I don't see why not. All metal surfaces are covered and painted very well and the latching system has a lot of plastic. The foot lever is enclosed in a metal and plastic enclosure, so I don't see any issues using it outside. I would use it if I had the need. I wouldn't see any issues putting it outside. Just my opinion.

I don't know how well it would respond to the elements. As far as functionality, I don't see any reason it would not work, but again, don't know how long it would hold up all the uv rays, rain, etc..

No, I can't see it being for outside use. The wooden parts aren't treated. We use it at the bottom of our stairs to the second floor so our grandchild can't climb up unattended.

As Mr. Glover has discovered, you can indeed use this item outside, provided you are taking care to keep it at least somewhat protected from the elements! I hope this answer will assist you.

Hello, I used mine on treated outdoor steps. So far it is staying stuck to the wood. I bought this because I have fallen down my steps several times. It is a nice product, even if you staple it for extra security. Hope this helps.

We have used it outside, my son wasn't able to move it around because the grass. It has rubber suction cups on the bottom and will stick to hardwood or tile.

Yes. You could use it outside. It is so versatile. I would however not keep it out there forever. Anything metal will eventually rust, but for laundry days sure!! Let the sunshine!!

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

I don't know if it can because it doesn't specify....I would say not to use it outdoors because it can get damaged by the weather/elements. It doesn't seem sturdy enough to leave outdoors 24/7, but if you put it out only during the day and bring it in if bad weather occurs, I suppose it might be fine. However, I would advise getting one specifically made for outdoors.

it could be used for your stairs, its a bit bulky to take on ond off but if its just staying put no problem

Yes, its designed to be outside. I have 3 of them, all outside and they work great.

I don't see why you couldn't use it outside. It might not hold up as well, but they are not that expensive. If it doesn't hold up to the weather buy a new one.

I have not used it outside. Given the low price and free shipping, I'd give it a shot. You'd have to weight the legs or lay it down when not in use if you have wind. You MIGHT think about some silicone to squirt around the connections and beneath bolts as you tighten and then over them once it's done to prevent rain and splashes from getting in and rusting it right away. Also, it's light enough that you could pick it up and move it inside when not in use. Another thing, you could leave out the middle section and make it shorter for kids so they don't pull on a towel and pull it over. None of these things tested, just mentioning them as ideas.

Yes, I have this actually outside in my backyard and the roof is off, you can even room the stairs or slide if you want to, it's sturdy without any of these missing. My daughter loves this!

I don't think this will work outside as it doesn't look like it is made for use out of doors. I use mine in the kitchen and wouldn't dream of taking it outside.

Yes to the outdoors, the mount swings from horizontal as pictured to vertical so it could be screwed to a post, side of a house, etc. or just mount it to a board and set it on something tall.very versitile.

I did on my outside deck, but make sure it's warm/hot outside when it's done. I live in ohio and so far it's doing fine..

I think it could be used outside as long it does not get rained on it has to be under a balcony or roof of some sort it is not moisture proof
