Can these be used outside? We just bought an outdoor play gym and want to put mats under it - thanks!

I think you may need to contact the manufacturer for the best answer. Based on the material, it seems like it would probably hold up well outdoors, but, then there is the issue with the mats fading, and becoming weather beaten. I am not sure if it is weatherproof and would do more research before purchasing. Hope this helps �

probably. thats what im getting them for. i got some very inexpensive ones at big lots about 2 years ago. they are still in fine condition though very dirty.i would imagine these would be at least as good. (this has been 2 years year round, all weather of snow, sun, rain in portland, oregon.) my play area is one of those plastic fisherprice deals for younger kids. i wouldnt consider these mats as a fall-safety item from anything higher than a couple of feet, if that.)

they are foam but I imagine you could, I don't know how long they would last though as we keep ours in an indoor playroom, I can say we often mop the top of them lightly and they seem to be okay, also my son's preschool has the exact same ones in their gym which get alot of traffic all day long and they are still in good shape. Hope this helps

Yes, mine are both outdoors. The one at the front door is covered from elements and has lasted longer than the one at our back door, which isn't protected. The unprotected one wears and fades more, so it needs to be replaced sooner, but I have bought these mats several times over the years and will continue to do so.

I KEEP mine outside but under a covered porch...the finish on them is minimal so if I were you I would put a coat of polyurethane on them. The wood seems solid enough to put outdoors.

I use them outside a lot, but only for a couple days at a time. They get quite hot and are not designed to be used outside for extended periods. Keep a close eye on them and don't let them come into contact with anything that melts or might catch fire. Good luck.

Ours is used outside and it works very well. You probably could use it indoors, but I'm not sure whether or not it may leave scuff marks on glossy gym floors. Also, I know from experience that rubber (and plastic) can have debris from outside that can cause scratches. I believe I saw that somebody else pointed this out also. My kids had their 3-wheel vehicles with plastic wheels. They weren't a problem on the wood floors until after they rode them outside. Now, we designate "outdoor" or "indoor" use.

Yes they can be used outside if they are covered before a rain storm.The only part that isn't painted is the leveling screw that ajusts the height of the seat.This item needs to be oiled from time to time.great item.Vince

No. They are NOT made for outdoor use. One would have to find a way to protect them from the elements which, since they are large, would not be practical. However, I'm sure it COULD be done, with some ingenuity. Hope this helps.

They look like they are made of hard plastic like PVC. I would think they would work outside. I used them in my shed for a workbench.

I would say, "No" - but I'm overly cautious. We have hard floors too, so I put some of those play mats underneath for extra padding.

Yes. I used these on top of hardwood floors and I even had an Olympic bench bar loaded with 20 lbs on each side get dropped by a child playing in my gym and the floors were untouched. Don't worry, child wasn't hurt either and we explained it was dangerous to play in the gym and never happened again.as an extra precaution I put cheap thin plastic mats under the entire room and used these heavy rubber mats under major equipment like my smith machine.

Yes they do! I use half the tiles on my deck, and have left them out in the rain and the blazing heat, without a problem. They do wear well. Just be careful, if it is too hot, the mats can get warm, not overly hot, but warm, and if your child is sensitive....just be cautious. I love the mats and they do a great job, indoor and out!

I don't think these are built for outdoor environment. The lift mechanism is metal, so it might rust over time if exposed to the elements.

Possibly, they are hard plastic outside. You could always add a piece of felt or a towel under to protect wood. Otherwise, they are the best knee pads we've found yet [20+ years in the flooring biz] and well worth the money

Quite well. I often set them up outside on our shaded, concrete patio. It's been getting into the low 50s at night and high 60s during the day at our house, so the patio floor stays quite cool. It gives our 1 year old daughter a comfortable place to play outside even when the concrete is chilly to the touch.

We use these bags for weights outdoors during the summer. 40# bags get tossed onto a rubber mat and dragged around. Wed do not slam the bags or move them more than a few times a day. We store them inside. We have found them to break down over the course of one summer season. The bags are woven and weaken then shred upon handling.

I have ours installed outside. They are under a covered patio and go into a protected portion of the ceiling. Have the installed for over a year and no issues.

I've used them in my house, which is carpeted. Think of them as... wearing a regular pair of gym shoes. Only Boots that bounce. For grass, haha, make sure you're not like me... You Need To Have The Physical Leg Strength to use them there. It's much more of a Strength Exercise in the grass. Good Luck & Enjoy!I've also used them outside, taking dog for a "Jog Walk". hahaha. & Used them on my wood deck. "Think.... Massive Bounce Gym Shoes"!Hope this helps.
