Would you recommend this for outdoor use? If not, is there a way to protect it from the elements?

I use it outside but cover with a wood cabinet ( stained ). I think it is ok for this under the rain but I am afraid it expose to the Sun ( UV ) too much and make the plastic crack.

I would not use this outside unless it in an area that is protected from the weather. I doubt this would be water-tight and might fill with water if rained on.

Obviously it's made to be mounted out side. I don't think it could withstand constant water exposure but occasional moisture, wind blown rain, doesn't bother it. It's battery powered so if you are concerned about a shock factor there is none.

it should be protected from rain and freezing temperatures.so it can be mounted outdoors but in a weather protected location (ie. a box). used mine under a tarp one summer.

It wouldn't be my first choice for outdoor weather. It's not a waterproof shell or a material that repels water. Its more for indoors or outdoor under a carport.

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.

I have no experience on this. However, I do not think that the unit is for outdoor use. Please consult with the vendor. All the electrical stuffs are up on top of the unit; and the cover on top is not water or weather proof. I also do not know whether the walls will withstand the outdoor weather. Please note that there are units for outdoor use.

I would not leave this outside or expose it to water/high moisture conditions. I am not sure but would be surprised if it had any weatherproof indications.

It is made of heavy duty plastic, so the unit itself would be fine for outdoor use, providing you have a wall or surface that you can mount it on.

I would suggest dissembling it for winter if you aren't going to use it. It stands up well, but it doesn't hurt to keep it out of the elements when you can!

I use it for outside. It's plastic, so weather won't affect it all that much, although it could crack from extreme heat or cold. Then again, any plastic will do the same thing. It seems well made, and holds a lot of weight, me.

I don't use it outside. There is no reason it wouldn't. If my dog lived outside, I wouldn't hesitate to use it there. I would protect it from the sun damaging the plastic.

It is electric, so I would be cautious about having it outside. I guess if you have it in a covered area protected from the weather it might be OK. It would probably need more frequent cleaning. I'm not sure I have totally answered your question......just my first thoughts to having it outside.

No this is not meant to be for outside. You would need a hard covered shelter. Amazon does carry these also. This would not stand up to any continual elements (snow/rain/sleet) on a daily-long term basis.

No. This safe is not weather proof and not really secure at all for any type of outdoor installation. I would never recommend you attempt such a thing.This safe is ok, and I'm glad I have it to hide away some medium-value items to keep away from nosy roommates, babysitters, family members, children, etc. This safe would never deter and would barely slow down an actual criminal. Keep your money in a bank account.

It looks pretty weatherproof. I have one under cover but the other one is SW facing and gets wet occasionally. I do not recall any statements in the instructions relative to keeping it dry or out of the sun. They seem built for the outdoors. Good luck!
