Can this tubing be used above ground (like under wooden decking) without protecting it from UV Exposure?

I have used it in that way under my house and a deck. I believe this is fine as long as it is not exposed to sunlight.

The cable can be used outdoor is not exposed to directly sun or rain. Or it can be used within a hose for protection.

I don't see any reason why this can't be used outside in shaded area besides water getting hot or cold due to outside weather conditions. Hope this helps.

The is not labeled for outdoor. I'd suspect the exterior coating would become brittle and break down under UV and weather exposure.

Ours are mounted under the roof over our deck. The reason we use them is to block low-lying sun that comes under the roof, and to protect during light rain showers. We have only had them up for one summer, and had no problems. They are protected from the weather however, so I don't really know how they would hold up if they were frequently wet while rolled up.

Hi Martha,If you can avoid running this cable across a rooftop then I would greatly do so. I would opt to run the cable underground if that's a possibility.The exposure to all elements on a rooftop is extreme, and even though VIVO does make a cable that is "outdoor" rated, I would still run the cable through a conduit. Ethernet cable is much more sensitive then Coax cable, so please don't look at both as equal in durability.

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 don't believe so; i would never use outside.... it is a beautiful fixture though

I wouldn't since it could possibly damage ceilings or lighting.This is an item that we had shooting beyond 3 story roof top.

I can't imagine why it would be optimal for that. RadiantGUARD foil is meant to reflect heat away & does result in lower heat transfer to the living area below attic crawl space. But if you want to e.g. insulate tubes from heat, there must be better insulation choices.

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 my sign outside under a deck.I believe the tubing is waterproof but it does have electric running to it. Have not had any problems with another neon sign that has been outside for over a year. Probably OK as long as no direct dousing with water

This varnish can be used for wood and protects the wood from rain damage, however I do not know if it can be used below the water level. I used it on an outdoor wooden bench.

I guess you could leave the table outside but I suspect the plastic top would deteriorate badly. It's not stated if it's resistant to UV rays but I would think not. The leveling mechanism located on one leg would rust and the bolt would be difficult to turn. The paint job on the metal parts is excellent but anywhere the paint is scratched will eventually rust. I would not even consider leaving my table outside for long periods.

Yes, if they have some kind of covering. I have 2 outside in a wooden box on the deck. I wouldn't put them where its exposed to the elements.

I would think so, as they are just plastic connectors underneath, and the tiles themselves are epoxy and bamboo. BUT...if the ground is not absolutely level, or if they may be pressed into a surface that cannot be maintained level, they may build up mold underneath from water. If you can build and level a surface using sand as they do for sidewalk and driveway pavers, then it should be OK. Again, this is just my opinion, I don't work for the company, and for myself, I put them on the aging wood surface of an elevated deck. So far after one year, they are still looking great!

Not sure why Terry suggested not to use below grade other than for environmental reasons. It is specifically made to protect treated or untreated, below ground, ground contact, fresh water and above ground.
