We need to use this product outside, how will it do with rain?

It is not water resistant. I haven't done an experiment, but just judging by the casing and the exposure of its electrical parts to the external environment, I'd say it probably wouldn't last long. If it were me, I wouldn't let my employees use them in the elements. That aside, it's a great barcode scanner.

I do not think it would be reliable for outside use. Sun would deteriorate the plastic material, and I doubt it would be water tight, so rain could get in.

I wish I could answer with authority. I've used the product outside for over a year, now. The problem is that, while it is outside, it is also sheltered from rain. I don't know if water would hurt the product or not.

We have used this at the beach. No rain but I think it would work pretty well. We really enjoyed it for the shade!!

Yes it can though it may weather faster and idk how it would do in rain. If you do I would use a giant tarp to put over it when done

I've used it outdoors in the rain and no issues. I can see nothing on it that is subject to water issues... it's like a lawn mower, or snow blower in that regard as far as how I've used it.

It is constructed of a hard plastic - so rain would not be problem except for the non-slip padding on the top. It would probably wear more quickly in the sun/rain, etc.. Unsure about stability in strong wind.

I would say water repellant. I don't know that it will withstand pounding rain but a little drizzle I think it would be fine.

I have never used it in the rain, I would image that it would work. If I had to use it in the rain I would. I would just put it further under my vehicle to protect it from the rain before I lifted it.

It is designed to be used outdoors. I have not had an issue with it in the rain or the snow.

I was also considering this product for keeping rain out but if it doesn't do that I won't bother... Anybody had any experience with rain? Is it actually waterproof?

I'm sorry we actually haven't used it yet! We just a moved and they had sprayed this new house right before hand. I have no idea about the rain issue?

Our product generally withstands a light to moderate rain. However, if the rain is heavy enough to cause puddling or running water that might move the product, we would recommend a re-application in accordance with the directions.

I noticed the surface absorbed the paint markers I used - so I suspect it would also absorb the rain and become quite soaked. The foam core might help it stand up to a few sprinkles - but the surface does not appear to be water proof.

Ours does some good in the rain. We thought it might do a little more where our sprinkler hits it, but not so much. We were hoping for more, but it looks great and keeps the sun out, so I guess you can't have everything!!

Haven't used it in rain but if covered I'm sure it would still work. It can be moved 5 ft fairly easily by one person as ling as it's not up an incline. It is heavy but comes with wheels you can attach.

I would not use it exposed to the elements (ie rain). We used it in our shed which is a damp environment and it did fine, but if using outdoors I think I would have it in some kind on sheltered area.
