can it be used and stored in a patio near to sea

would not store on patio as salt air will damage anything metal. Ok to use outside away from water.

This fan is powerful enough to be used outdoors, but like anything made of metal, it will eventually corrode. Being black in color dirt or rust will not as noticeable.

Sure you can use it outdoors. It has a small battery box on it that would probably be completely ruined, but you are free to put the thing any place you want. Just don't expect it to last long out there if it starts raining...

I don't think it would hold up well outside. It is very well built/designed but I believe it was intended for inside use. It may do okay on a covered patio that was sheltered from the weather or it might do okay if you lived in a very dry area with little precipitation, but even in direct sun contact, I think the quality would go down quickly. We have it inside and we have loved it. Great toy! Hape products are impressive

Not sure what you mean by stored. Mine sits outside on a table, but I have a balcony overhead. It does get wet when it rains. It will stay outside until October and then I'll put it in my storage facility. I wouldn't leave it uncovered outside over the winter. There is one drawback of leaving it outside now - there are lots of spider webs and leaves. I need to whip down the grill, outside and inside, before I use it.

Depends, it is not sealed, made for indoor use, you can use it outside, as long as it's not raining or wet. Mine is attached to my roll-about garage workbench, I use it in the garage and the driveway.

No I don't think using it outside is wise. Unless being used in a covered area outside where water will not be able to get into the top area. Top is open - apart from wood framing, the cover is plastic so don't really think it will stand up much to sun, rain and wind elements.

Hi Marco, you can use it on the beach but make sure not to get it wet for it isn't waterproof. -Vincent

Only if the patio is covered; the wood has not been treated for outside elements. It is beautiful and very comfortable.

It shouldn't be a problem. The legs are coated so wouldn't rust any worse than patio furniture. Beware of pipes freezing.

No, it is a wood table and chairs. You could use it on a porch on a sunny day (s) but I would not suggest leaving it exposed to the elements.

Yes, it should be just fine. I have used it outside on my patio at family bbq's and such and it's been just fine. I've also brought it w/ me on vacation and used it on the beach and it worked like a gem!

You can use this outside, but if it gets wet it is done. Also direct sun will melt it.

Yes. It's a nice bench I have had 5 of them over the years mine is set up outside so they last about 3 years before rust eats them up (no fault of the bench) nothing last very long out side next to the beach.

I think so, as long as it's not left to the elements. Not sure of your climate but I wouldn't leave it outdoors in extreme weather, like summer here in FL or winter up North.

I don't know what the manufacturer says about outdoor use. It looks to me like it could be used in a covered area like on a porch but it wouldn't holdup up in a wet environment. Since its battery operated it would also be subjected to corrosion in a salt air environment if you live in a coastal area. The unit itself works quite well although I did not like the Velcro adhesive so opted to use screws.

Yes, we have used it on the beach, but I would put it under a shade and leave the pea pod fully ventilated. it can get pretty warm inside.

this could be left out and used as a patio table. If weather got rough, I would take it in to keep from getting blown around. Folds and stores easily.Very serviceable.
