is it weather proof and can you leave it outdoor for a length of time??

I've had mine for about 6 months and so far, I would say yes on both counts.

Mine stays outside and is holding up well. But only have had it for 6 mo. No corrosion or rust. I believe it comes with a 10 year guarantee against that.

From what I saw, it is weatherproof but not intended to be permanently left outside. I left mine out in my backyard for a month and the hardware, screws, hinges, etc is showing signs of oxidation .

I wouldn't leave it outside. We bought this for my grandson (who loves it by the way) & while it does get used outside on nice days, it's not left outside due to the fact that the material its made from is not really conducive to the outdoor elements.

I don't think it would hold up to much weather. I also believe it would fade very badly exposed to sunlight. I would suggest bringing it inside when not in use

I would not leave this outside or expose it to water/high moisture conditions. I am not sure but would be surprised if it had any weatherproof indications.

Yes we leave ours outside all year. Just tir it down for wind storms. It has no damage from the weather and we have had ours for 2 years.

its not weather proof because the bottom is chrome and it would discolor... you could put it outside for normal weather as it can be charged up and then unplugged.

I have not personally used it outside, but this is designed for indoor use. I am sure you could set it up outside and then take it back inside, but it is by no means rugged.

It's not built to withstand weather. So I doubt it should be outside unless very well protected. It's a good device though and I always received great support.

We left ours up outside for a month or so outside and it did not rust or get damaged. It seems pretty sturdy as long as you keep it staked into the ground..If you get alot of wind you may want to bring it in also.

I keep mine outside but under cover from direct rain. It has a battery pack that could get wet. Also the plastic could deteriorate over time in direct sun. I would say weather resistant but not weather proof.

I haven't left it out side for extended amounts of time. Its made of nylon fabric, I am not sure it's waterproof.

I never leave it out in the rain, mainly because of the wind. They do suggest, however, that you can waterproof it by spraying it with Scotchguard or similar product and letting it dry before installation.

I don't know if it can because it doesn't specify....I would say not to use it outdoors because it can get damaged by the weather/elements. It doesn't seem sturdy enough to leave outdoors 24/7, but if you put it out only during the day and bring it in if bad weather occurs, I suppose it might be fine. However, I would advise getting one specifically made for outdoors.

It's not advertised as such, so it probably is not rated for outdoor use. That being said, I will add that the overall quality seems to be very good, and if the connection was suitably waterproofed (plastic and tape at least), I don't believe there would be a problem for short term usage. Since it wasn't designed or built for outdoor use (if it were, you can be sure it would say so!) there is no way to know how long or well it will stand up to extreme temperatures, UV rays, humidity, etc. If I had a reason to I would use mine outdoors, but I would expect it to fail at some point. To be honest, I didn't read the terms of the warranty, so I can't say whether it would be covered if used outside. But they're very reasonably priced, should you need to replace it! I've had excellent results with this company's products; because of that I say go for it!

If it is not exposed directly to the elements, it should be fine, but if can be rained on or have the sun beat down on it, it probably won't last long.
