How weather resistant are they? I want them for my deck and will cover or bring in if I am home and it rains, but am concerned about when I'm not...

Adirondack chairs are typically made to be weather resistant, but I'm not taking a chance with this one. Even though the Amazon description says it is made out of eucalyptus (a good wood for outdoor use), there was no packing info verifying this claim. I also question all-white anything outdoors--it doesn't take much to start looking dirty. This chair does come in a brown stain, which might camouflage dirt better and a stain may hold up better outdoors than white paint. Another reviewer who bought the brown chair had this to say, "Left untreated, eucalyptus will weather when exposed to the elements, turning a soft shade of silver/gray similar to the weathering of teak. In addition, when untreated, natural splitting or cracks will appear, but this will not affect the durability of the furniture. To guard against this weathering process and to maintain a desired look, apply coats of a hardwood oil. The frequency of necessary oil applications depends on the intensity of the outdoor elements. The furniture has already been oiled prior to packing, and it is recommended that an oil treatment be repeated at least once a year. Giving the furniture an extra treatment before exposing to rain will prolong the "new" look and ensure a longer life."

I haven't figured that one out yet, my speakers are new and I mounted mine under the eaves of my patio to keep them out of the weather. Supposedly they hold up well but I wouldn't recommend putting them directly in the path of bad weather and rain.

I used mine on an outdoor application (not a water feature ) but they get rained on all the time plus direct sun and snow. The look the same as they did the day I installed them.

I must say they don't look very robust. Mine however is totally exposed nearly 150 yds from my house, on the side of a tree. It has seen plenty of rain but only temps from about 45F - 100F. To date working great other than occassional false alarm when the sun hits it just right. No freezing temps yet, but soon to come.

Have had mine for a year, with all the weather conditions and rain, still not a problem. They are also sturdy, some are very flimsy and do not move smoothly on the deck.

No, I don't think they would be good for outdoor use unless you were using them in a completely enclosed porch where they would not be exposed to the weather. If they got wet they would not dry out properly.

I have mine outside in an unprotected area, doesmn't sem to affect them. Might be a good idea to protect them though,m just a rain shield or something.AJ

I don't think they're advertised as weatherproof however I've had some installed outside under awnings and my porch roofs for a few months now in the Florida weather without a problem. That, of course, is no guarantee its just been my experience and I certainly wouldn't install one where it would get a direct hit from rain/snow.

They are listed for indoor use. We have them outdoors in a covered patio, and have no problems with them (but they are protected from the weather).

I have had these outside in all kinds of weather for over three months now and there are no issues with rain. (Except that dreary weather affects the charging so they don't stay lit as long, but that is to be expected from a solar product.)

I only purchased these two months ago but they have been outside ever since. We did recently start to keep them under a tarp. I just want to keep them as long as possible. As with any wood product, they will weather over time. Keeping them covered just protects them a bit and helps keep their color. Also keep in mind I live in south central Texas where it is hot and humid with lots of sun and little rain. Bottom line, we have really enjoyed them for the past two months but it is too early to speak to the longevity of them outside.

so far no we have them out side on a cover deck and they do get some rain year round we have been very pleased with this product do not be surprise if they do not use them all the time I thank some time they are to warm.

I got mine in the Fall so I haven't had them long enough to know how they will hold up. I'm in Vegas so they will have to endure "very" direct sunlight and extreme heat. I can do a follow up after the Summer when I know how they survived.

Sure. That is how I have them installed. However mine are under a patio cover. I wouldn't use them in the weather.

water resistant most defiantly, Light (less than 0.1inch/hr rain fall) to average rain fall (0.1inch/hr rain fall) they do fine for my quick 5mile ride to keep things dry. they have a resin/wax type lining but 100% water proof I would say no. I have not tested them in heavy rain though (like a 1/2inch-1inch/hr rain fall).hope I have helped.

Water resistant might be a better description. The roof will repel rain and the wood is treated but there are joints and gaps that will allow water in if sprayed directly or perhaps via splash back. I had to replace the supplied roof materials due to shipping damage and went with much better components. Haven't had rain yet so we will see how it holds up.

Yes. I live in Las Vegas and use them outdoors on my concrete pool deck to secure a pool cover. They withstand the desert sun and water from the pool just fine and I have not have any issue with them for the past year.
