Is this product ok for outdoor use? Durable? Will it rust underneath?

I don't use mine outdoors, but it should be OK, except in sub-freezing temperatures I'd be concerned the plastic could crack. There's nothing to rust, so that's not a concern.

It is a fairly heavy duty plastic so it will not rust. Ours is inside, but I'm sure it would be fine outdoors. Be advised, it is huge! It's significantly larger than what I probably needed for my two 80# dogs. I cannot barely carry it after filled so if my husband is unavailable, I only fill it 1/2 and change their water more often. It is attractive looking though, as far as automatic waterers go.

It is solid plastic, so it's not going to rust. It isn't a flimsy plastic either, you should be fine using it outside.

It's plastic, so it won't rust. It would be fine for outdoors if not extreme weather. It holds a lot of water so it would need to be kept where the temperature of the water can remain consistent. I hope that helps.

I am using it outdoors. And no problem so far. The entire contain is hard plastic so it will not rust.

My dogs drink a lot of water so this little contraption works well. The only slight down side is the size of the water bowl, my dogs like to stand in it therefore getting their feet wet and leaving paw prints all over the house.

It is made from pigskin, so theoretically it should be able to be outside under some kind of cover since it must be mounted into a truss or other sturdy area. I'm unsure if the chain would rust.

I think they might rust, but they are metal powder coated. Maybe outdoor under cover would work. I do love mine, but I use them inside.

Yes it has sustained well outdoors. I have it setup underneath a covered patio and have had no issues. Also, as far as assembly... It's pretty much pre assembled. The sides fold out and the shelves slide into the unit and fit into place. Very quick setup

It would do fine outside. It will not rust. The UV may degrade the plastic after a while but should hold up fine for a long while. Been using mine to access my boat this past summer and has held up great so far.

I'm sure about being rust proof but it has a black metal finish and i have it outdoors here in Arizona. It is under my eaves. I just love it. It is nice and sturdy, was easy to put together. I would definitely buy it again

Yes. Ours is outside underneath a covered gazebo. We live on the gulf coast with lots of humidity so it is rusting some.

I am not sure if it will rust or deteriorate if left outside. Mine is in my kitchen. My impression is that it is designed for inside use.

My potting bench has spent two winters outside in western Washington. It has not been covered and has seen lots of rain and snow. It doesn't have a spot of rust on it. I only use it for potting plants once in a while. Mostly, it is used as an adjunct to the BBQ. I use a crockpot and electric griddle on it so as not to smell up the house with cooking. I would buy it again. I wouldn't climb on it though.

I've kept mine outside for over a year...no rust whatsoever! Although I live in California and it doesn't rain much here either! :)

I don't think you should have much of an issue with rust . This table is highly resistant to stains and rust . I don't recommend using it outside , but as long as u wipe it down , it should be fine.

It can be stored outside, but it is metal so it will rust if it is exposed to the elements, I would cover it with a tarp or keep it under a porch if possible

Mine stays outside and is holding up well. But only have had it for 6 mo. No corrosion or rust. I believe it comes with a 10 year guarantee against that.

I imagine that it would rust if left outdoors. I use mine in my utility room and have had no problems.

I've had it for a year on a covered, outdoor, back porch and have no rust. It can get wet or snowy if it is blowing hard enough.

Though we have not done so, I would expect keeping it outside would be fine. Ours has travelled many hundreds of miles in the back of the truck; rain, snow, etc. It has held up well. We have had no problems with rust.

Hi Bobbie, the rack is made of fairly heavy duty metal, with a thick blue paint that covers all surfaces. As long as the paint doesn't get scratched or chipped it should be OK outside, though it will likely get rust spots after a couple years if you live in a wet climate.
