Do you think this would be safe outside on a deck?

As a matter of fact, we have one on our porch all year long. Our winters get cold but no snow. We have one in the living room and the coffee table in the living room as well.

Yes, I would advise securing it somehow, or maybe not leaving it in harms way during extreme weather conditions.....

That wouldn't be a problem at all. I wouldn't leave it outside 24/7 in the sun and everything for days on end, but I would see no problem with it being outside. In fact our deck chairs are a bit wider than our dining room table chairs, so it'd probably be even more stable(not that it's a problem at all tho!)

I would be careful using it on a wooden deck, as it had a metal protecting strip across the front that could damage wood if scrapped too closely. If you don't mind leaving a layer of snow on the deck, you may be able to use it.

Don't see why not. I have 2 on the deck and one has been there thru the winter and a few snow storms. Neither one is under an overhang. Good luck.

I have used it sparingly on my deck, and saw no problems. If it is okay for Paws and Plants..... wood should be fine.

I would not recommend you leave this outside, the wood would probably warp and likely the metal will rust over time.

Heather, I would not leave it up outside. However, it is very easy to set up and take down. Good luck.

should be fine, but if it is windy staked to the ground would be better. It is a great canopy

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!?

I think it could be used outside as long it does not get rained on it has to be under a balcony or roof of some sort it is not moisture proof

I Would think it would be fine. Especially if it's not a windy day. Personnelly we have a concrete patio but it is pretty small so I use it close to the grass and the grass has never caught fire or even smoldered. Actually I have never even seen sparks fly out of it.

I have two of these and they are hung on two different limbs of a chestnut tree and are very solid and have proved to be safe. My belief is that they could be hungfrom the sides of s STURDY deck, and be safe.

I have not used it outside. Given the low price and free shipping, I'd give it a shot. You'd have to weight the legs or lay it down when not in use if you have wind. You MIGHT think about some silicone to squirt around the connections and beneath bolts as you tighten and then over them once it's done to prevent rain and splashes from getting in and rusting it right away. Also, it's light enough that you could pick it up and move it inside when not in use. Another thing, you could leave out the middle section and make it shorter for kids so they don't pull on a towel and pull it over. None of these things tested, just mentioning them as ideas.

Well it is pretty lite weight. It would be ok if the wind does not hit is directly I think. However I think I would anchor it to be sure.

Could be I guess if you figure out how to anchor to the ground since it's pretty light weight. I would not reccomend leaving outside though.

I'd be a little concerned about it if there was any wind. While you can stake it down I don't know if it will hold if it was windy. Hope this helps.
