Is it OK to leave it outside in the rain occasionally?

ours is always outside rain or shine. Our last one we had for years outside.

I don't think it's a good idea to leave it out in the rain, but I do it anyway because its too big for me to move. However, I buy the blue sheets that Costco sells and put it over my trampoline to protect it from the sunshine and the rain. It's time consuming but it will make your trampoline last longer.

I've used it in the rain with no problems. I wouldn't stick it under water or anything, but if it gets some water on it it should be fine.

Absolutely. I wouldn't leave it out in the rain though the legs are metal they might rust a little.

Yes, but it still has to be plugged in. So you don't want to leave it out if it rains.

We have ours outside "sort of" protected from the rain. Works like a charm (so far--had it over the winter).

I personally don't leave it outside, I fold it up and bring it inside. It's light enough that this is not an inconvenience to do and since it's the perfect size for our small table and it took me awhile to find this umbrella, I don't want to risk having it get ruined.

I wouldn't say it is completely waterproof but light rain wouldn't hurt it.

Sure but I wouldn't leave it out in the rain or anything. Also you still need a secure place to hang it from.

It's meant to soak up a lot of water so I wouldn't keep it outside unless you remember to bring it in when there is a chance of rain.

I think it would be best not to leave it outside. Rain and wind would probably damage it. It seems very delicate.

I have had it in the rain by accident (middle of the night and a storm came in while I was sleeping) it was fine. I wouldn't recommend leaving it in the rain on purpose, it is electric after all.

Well, I wouldn't purposely take it out into the water, but it has been out in the rain and it hasn't seemed to hurt it.

I have but I did it in error. It does tell you not to leave it outside exposed to the elements so I usually brought it in at night, especially if they called for rain.

I suppose you can use it outside, but I would not leave it out in the rain. Per the instruction manual, you can "clean the ScatMat with mild soapy water but do not submerge the electronics in water."

Yes, you can sit under it in the rain and not get wet(unless the wind is blowing....lol)!

Yes. Ours stays outside and we leave it attached. However, it is under a patio cover so it isn't subject to rain.

The instruction sheet says: "Although the lamp may be used outdoors, it is not water-proof and should be stored in a clean, dry environment."So, I wouldn't leave it outside all the time, and definitely wouldn't want it to get rained on. High winds could also blow it over and perhaps roll it some distance, as well, which would likely damage it.
