should I move this under the porch when not in use or will it stand up to rain? If so, how long will it last in the rain?

I bought a cover for mine and keep it covered when not in use. Mine still looks new after almost a year.

I have mine under the porch and have even used it under the porch - but the roof of the porch is easily 10 feet up and it's open on all sides. I have a rod iron table set and have used a clear rustolium to protect it - so I've used it on the firepit also. I love this firepit...

Mine has been out in the elements since I bought it and it has held up pretty well considering the materials its made from. The legs have no rust. The screen and nuts that hold the legs on have just started to show some signs of rust. I do believe it will last longer if you have the option to keep it out of the elements. This one has held up a lot longer than I expected. Hope this helps.

If you are not using the pit regularly, I would always move it out of the weather....it will stand up for a while, but nothing lasts forever. If you purchased the cover, that will certainly help keep the top in good shape...the key is to watch the legs...if they get any kind of rust, wire brush them and put a good paint like Rustoleum on them and they should last for years...even with the rain.

I have this under a covered porch, it has a thick finish but It is made in China so I don't know how well it would hold up to daily rain. It is a very well built swing, and as for what to use for a frame in your back yard, I would suggest a 4x4 frame.

We live in arkansas, so it would be better to keep it in the house or in the garage. During summer it would be ok on porch or patio.

I have mine on an open air porch so it gets a little bit of rain on it. I haven't had any issues with rain bothering it. It wouldn't hurt to put a coat of protectant on it if it will be outside though.

I don't know how it would hold up in heavy rain, but it's great shelter for mild/moderate rain. I live in Oregon, and mostly use it for a sun shade, but have also spent time out while raining.

No,it is not intended for outdoor use, however if it is placed where it will not be directly exposed to the elements, it should be fine. If you place it under a porch, gazebo, or similar protection, so that it isn't soaked by a rainfall, there should be no worries.

If it is on a covered porch. It is a great table butnitbis wood and could be damaged by rain.

If you have a covered porch you could probably put it outdoors, but you will have to make sure it never gets hit by rain. I think you would be better off buying a fan that is specifically made for outdoor use. This one is not.

Yes it holds up fine in rain. I have it on my porch and it gets rained on and so far I have seen no discoloration.

You can use it in a covered porch, but it is not recommended because the finish may corrode. They do make an exterior grade one like this one.

Debbie so far so good. We have had ours on the back screened in porch and love it. Don't know how it would hold up to snow rain etc.

It should be protected from water and weathering elements. I have mine underneath my house. The first one I had was ruined when a water pipe burst and got it wet. I know someone else who has it on their porch.

Ours is in the garage. I believe that if it has stuff in it (of course the heavier things toward the bottom) that it would stand up to a good bit of wind. I don't think I would stand it out in the middle of the yard but would put it against a wall or side of the house, garage, etc. Yes. It's very sturdy but high profile.

We have not had this long enough to answer but would probably last longer by storing it over the winter. We are in the Palm Desert, CA area, and will bring it in over the heat and direct sun when we leave for an extended time. It is supposed to stand up to the weather but it is easy to move and store.

I think so, as long as the porch is covered, don't see why it wouldn't hold up.

We have left this outside many times and it stands up to the rain and sprinkler system just fine. If it starts to get windy we just unhook it from the sides and bottom and closed it like a curtain. During the winter we did take it down and stored it.

I don't think it would last very long if it was directly exposed to rain and sun. It would be fine outside under a covered patio.
