can it be used for outside storage

Yes, it can be used for outside storage as it's mostly made from very strong plastic. Only the bolt that hold it together is metal and you'll have to check that it doesn't rust outside. It's a very good product.

I see no reason why it couldn't be used for outside storage as the materials should do fine. You may want to coat the underside with a silocone protectant as the thread which adjusts for the size of the tire is metal and would certainly be prone to rust given a cllimate (near the ocean) or high humidity etc... Also you may wish to think about how you might secure it since someone could easily walk away with your bike (even if you bike was secured to the stand) - so you may want to come up with some way to secure the bike stand to whatever outdoor fixture you were thinking about.

There are products that will protect from UV damage from sunlight (Black Again is one) that you could apply to the stand. I would try using it out of outdoors and monitor how it does.

I would say yes. Appears that the metal bolt may be stainless. Rest is heavy duty composite nylon type material. Trust this helps.

Not quite sure. It is a durable composite plastic material. Weather may weaken it overtime. That may be a question for the manufacturer at www.ezbikeproducts.com

Yes you can use it outside since its make of heavy plastic but I would be concerned with the bike!!

I would not recommend using this as an outdoor tent. It is not weather proof and has vinyl material.

It is not intended for outside use although it is rated for humidity 20-80% and thus might be able to be used in a covered porch for example. The strict answer is no though.

Not sure it's meant for outdoor use. I would think it would be fine as long as it doesn't get rwined on.

I think it could be used outdoors. It stands up to moisture fine. But it is a foam, and foams break down eventually. Sunlight would speed up that process.

I don't see why not. It's lightweight, pretty sturdy, waterproof (or at least mine hasn't had any water get in when I've hosed it down), easy to clean, and could hold a fair amount for storage. It probably depens on how much space you have in your shelter.

Much of this unit is plastic. I would not recommend outdoor storage. A shed or storage closet would be fine.

It is made of an unfinished wood. To use it outside you would have to put some kind of finish on it to protect it from the elements. Other than that it would work.

It is very well built. I think you could use it outdoors in moderate conditions but it's not specifically built for that purpose. In a garage or in a covered electrical outlet i would think would be fine. Somewhere out exposed to rain or snow i would not recommend, but then again i would not recommend any plugged in electrical connections in such environments.

Depends, it is not sealed, made for indoor use, you can use it outside, as long as it's not raining or wet. Mine is attached to my roll-about garage workbench, I use it in the garage and the driveway.

I wouldn't put this outside unless on a covered porch. It ended up being too small to store my cushions, so I use it as an inside piece. It makes a good storage bench in the MBR closet...

yes. I have it outside for the last 1.5 years and it has worked great. I believe you could also bury it....

It is not designed for that, and is not moisture resistant, so I would not do so. Units designed for outdoor use are designated as such by UL.

I have never stored or left mine outside. It is very well made, very well insulated, and doesn't get stiff or crack when laying in the snow and very cold weather!!! You would have to seal plug connections, but in my opinion, it should serve your purpose!!!

I don't think so, but I've never used it outside. I use it for my home photo studio.

I bought this as a gift and when I forwarded them your question, here's the response I received: I doubt it's meant for outside use. I think it wouldn't last too long. Hope this helps!

No. This would not last outside. The top is wood and the metal is not sturdy enough for out side.
