Would this ramp be able to be kept outside permenetaly? If not could you tell me one that could?

its a great ramp. give your dog a cat treat for climbing and he'll always want to climb it. I have to guide my dog with his collar. you could leave it outside permanently but the cold weather would take a toll on the sandpapery surface that helps dogs paws grip. It folds up and has a plastic hook to go over one side and then there is a carry handle. It's well made.

This item is not specifically intended to be kept outdoors. It may show signs of weathering over time.

I think it will be fine outside, there is nothing that can rust. I have had my ramp for over a year and I use it everyday with no issues. My St. Bernard loves it.

I'd be a little concerned about it if there was any wind. While you can stake it down I don't know if it will hold if it was windy. Hope this helps.

This is a very sturdy ramp. I think a boarding ramp for an old house boat would work provided it is set and leveled properly. I'm surprised this is sold as dog ramp it's heavy bulky too much to take in and out of car I used it only a few times. Good luck

I would think not unless you keep it where it won't be hit by rain or snow. If it's in a dry area, yes it can be as it's a very sturdy item.

I don't think so. It needs a level straight path. It's also pretty heavy and not that easy to separate into the two sections. My wife cannot set it up. Small wheels at the bottom would be a good idea if they would contact the ground when the ramp is being removed from the top side.

We leave our ramps outside. They have endured rain, hail, snow, ice, etc. No problems. No peeling or fraying of the tread surface, and no cracking anywhere that we can notice.

If it could be kept dry. I have one under a carport area where it cant get wet and have had no problems.

It holds fine if you have both ends on something of course. Because the car "end" is leaning on the bummer and the ground "end" which has a different shape (see pic)...it wedges it. Its a great little ramp. Wayfair.com has it on sale again with free shipping :)

We have ours on cement for bike storage. I would think so if put on grass and auger's used to secure.

No I would not keep this outside, I would use some type of Rubber Maid or pool or deck bench as those are made for damp, wet weather

That's an excellent question I just went outside and jumped on the center of our ramp and it remains firm This would be a question I would ask the company that manufactures this ramp but I will tell you we have never had ANY issues with folding and if this ramp can withstand my two wild children who are in wheel chairs it would probably withstand anything. I have been VERY pleased with this purchase and it has made our lives much easier. I love the idea of being able to fold it up like a long suitcase and carry it with us as well. It is heavy but not too heavy to carry.

I keep this ramp in my truck so it hasn't had to much exposure to just sitting outside. That being said it is great for my pup, and easily holds his weight at 185. It has definately been rained on drooled on, snowed on with zero sign of rust. Never been left outside though.

I would not recommend keeping them outside. I have used mine outdoors and brought them back in when finished, but I don't think it would hold up if permanently left outside.

I don't think it is strong enough for that. Your ramp will need a strong side to lean against. And the dog may be too heavy for it. I would try a good old red rider wagon. They have sides now and should work well.

The ramp always stays open. I have it a yr and needs repair but I could balme hurricane sandy since it was under water. You need something else for keeping the doors locked. The dog got in it. Lol

Yes I do not see an issue with keeping this Cart stored outside. I would recommend that you try and put some sort of cover over it to protect it from the elements as there are some nuts and bolts that could rust over time. Hope this helps!
