Is is ok for outdoor projects as far as low to freezing temps? I read all the questions/answers and heat seems to be ok. Thanks

I have no direct experience with this, but this page: http://www.eclecticproducts.com/e6000_retail.htm mentions that the temperature range for the cured product is -40F to 150F. I would take that to mean that you can expect it to retain its potential between those two temperatures. They also mention that if frozen, you should let the uncured tube thaw out and reach room temperature before use.

Being in the cold of winter, we have yet to be able to try it out. Looks like it will be fine. It is not super tall, so it shouldn't be a problem. We plan to use them around a fire pit, so I wouldn't even use our fire pit if it was that windy. Check it out!

I have not used outside in cold. but I'm sure if it was under a tent it would be fine or if not It runs on batteries so all good just don't get batteries wet. good luck!! I'm going to try the cold :) :)

We have ours outside on a covered porch. Out of the elements, but subjected to heat, humidity, and now cold. Still working great!

It can be used for outdoor projects if you use a clear varnish protective coating. My husband makes rain gauges and birdhouses that hold up well, if using a clear varnish coating.

Well, ordinarily, we don't think of Oregon (at least in the Willamette Valley) as a cold weather state. But it got collllllld here this winter for a few weeks. I have pipes that run along the side of my house from my exterior mounted Rheem and those I wrap with an electric heat tape which only goes on if it gets to about 33degrees. The heater itself is protected internally by small heaters which are attached in various places and do a good job. That leaves the inlet and outlet array (which includes the valves and TP valve) which the heat tapes are hard to attach to. So I leave a small amount of water running at night and during the day when no one turns on a tap for an hour or so. Somewhere between a drip and a stream. That seems to do the trick. This summer I am going to put the pipes inside the wall and put the heater in an inclosure that you can buy from Rheem that fits into the wall, and my hope is that I will not need any more protection.

I think you would be OK. I keep mine in the garage and the temperature there is often in the low thirties but doe not freeze. I use to power my snow blower and it works great, never get hard or become difficult to wind up after use. You could probably ask the manufacturer and see what they say.

yes. it is for outdoor use. I use at temp. of 0 degrees f. no problems. been using for years in all weather conditions.

I'm in NE Ohio, it works fine in the cold! I would recommend adhesive Velcro or something like that. Adhesive tape alone might not hold up in the cold weather.

I just went outside to check and it is running like a charm at 18 degrees. Another good result of continuous winter use is what appears to be a lower incidence of icicles/ice dams even with the 12 inch roof soffit on my house and up to 2 feet of snow on the roof.

Not much warmer than the outside temperature. I keep mine on the patio and unless you are going to add a heat source, don't look for it to stay much warmer (more than 5 degrees) in cold weather than the outside temperature. I did find it is a great place to start seedlings and keeps the plants out of the wind, so there is no wind chill factor. We live in cold weather where it gets down below freezing at night and I found that it was not suitable over winter. I don't know how it will be in summer.

I'd say it's somewhere in between to be honest. Definitely not super soft but not brittle either. I live in AZ so I'm not sure how it would do in the cold.

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.

Mine is mounted inside my shed in my NH back yard. As I'm typing this it's -12 (F) out and it's working fine. My shed has seen temps past 100 degrees (higher internal temps) as well in the summers. I'd say it will work fine for you.

I live in South Florida so freezing isn't an issue. I do not know if it will freeze. It is a fantastic product, works beautifully

Yes, I think it would be fine. Its made of painted steel which should be OK in a sheltered outdoor setting. I might buy some stainless steel bolts to use instead of the supplied zinc coated bolts though.

Yes they work outside in the cold, rain, snow etc. Mine are on my deck stairs outside and they have worked flawlessly all winter and it's been below freezing quite often. As for adhesive tape you should be fine. They aren't heavy and have plenty of flat surface on the backs to adhere to.
