Is it safe for a porch or deck?

Yes however they work best if you place the unit away from where you are entertaining or congregating as the unit attracts bugs and between the noise and the possibility of dead bugs dropping you want it away from you as far as possible

We have ours hanging from a large bicycle hook from a beam on our deck roof. I know we unplug it and clean the dead bugs of at least once a week too.

Sure, I have it under canopy on my deck. Got to clean it once a month with air compressure to blow off all dead bugs. Not sure about out in open on rainy days maybe make sure something is above it for cover. No more Mosquitos!

I believe it is as I am using mine on a screened outdoor porch. We absolutely love ours.

I originally used this on my front porch, which really is not gonna be rained on, but now I have moved this to my side door, and I will answer your question after (now I am testing it.)

I don't have a porch, but our eaves hang lower. We don't have any problems with the light fixture. Still very happy with it.

No. It just needs to be kept off the ground. But a concrete slab or a wood deck are good choices.

depends on the width of the crack/space between the deck boards. I would place a tarp to protect anything below - if the space is wide, the product is going fall through the cracks. I experienced this - see pictures of my deck (and space width of decking): cut and paste URL into your browser: link to all pics --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/12023977@N06/sets/72157629490063928/link to close up(s) --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/12023977@N06/6932719244/in/set-72157629490063928/

No, it is not an outdoor unit! The cushioned areas will get waterlogged and there are bolt holes that would eventually fill up with rain water. If a porch was covered, it could work but not exposed directly.

i would NOT install them on your outside deck. we used them for our basement stairs, inside the house.

I suppose you could as it is made to get wet. Really can't think of any reason why you couldn't other than the size. It is not very wide (as it is designed to wrap around a 2x4 piece of wood, check the width of this item.) and depending on your porch size, up might end up with a lot of seams.

If installed properly it should not be an issue, however i used composite decking so it should not be an issue for my deck

It would have to be protected from moisture - not sure a screened porch could stop the moisture in the air.

The outside button seems to be weather resistant. My porch is covered, but it gets wet periodically. It is all solid state, so I think you'll be OK.

I have ours on our front porch all the time because it has become a great way to keep a hidden key outside. It stays on our front porch, but is covered. I think if it got rained on it would be fine, but if completely left unattended the metal could possibly rust eventually? This is a heavy duty lock, so I think elements would be fine, especially if you attend to it from time to time. Hope this helps.

You should never put a fire pit on a deck period. Regardless of a heat shield any anything else you can think of to protect your deck. It's not worth the risk of your house burning down.

Haven't tested it, but I think probably not. Water-resistant. We keep ours under the covered part of deck.

The shelving units are intended primarily for indoor use and we have not conducted any extended outdoors testing to see how the materials would hold up in direct weather. I'm pretty confident that they would work well in a covered deck or porch area though. The acrylic shelves are UV resistant and do not yellow, the angle bar is aluminum and the shelf supports are nickel plated brass. Jim Baggett, ownerBeautiful Viewsbeautifulviews.net 864-507-0182

The obvious answer on a balcony is part of the railing. I'd be very cautious about using it outside, though - use it in dry weather only and take it in. I can't recommend this product, though - in fact, I really detest it! This is a design American manufacturing got 100% right a long time ago, but which now has been reduced to throw away garbage by "survival of the cheapest". Shoddy manufactured goods and the 21st Century's largest surviving authoritarian government - what's not to like!?
