Can the bucket be stored outdoors.

It seems pretty tight and secure. Although I would put it inside a garbage plastic bag if I decided to store it outdoors.

That would depend on your location. The bucket does contain water in foil packets. In a cold environment the water would freeze and possibly rupture the packet. This is unlikely but possible and should be taken in consideration.Removing the water packets is the easiest solution.

The bucket lid is actually a toilet seat, and fits rather loosely on the bucket. It is not waterproof and would be subject to wind. I put mine in a garbage bag in order to store safely in the basement to keep any dust out. Lid is snug enough dust shouldn't be a major problem, but a pet could easily knock off the lid. Likewise, I'm sure, for raccoons, etc. See also water note from Critical Tom.

Yes, as long as you don't move it or over fill it with water. If you are going to keep it inside, I would suggest putting down a plastic sheet underneath just in case.

No, I would not store outdoors unless it is in a climate controlled environment free of spiders and other bugs that my hide and bite later. Indoor use only. Also the ball pit is made of fabric which could mold or mildew if it is left outside with the rain or snow.

The glass lid is quite thick and seems to provide good insulation. We've used the bucket primarily inside. But ice lasted just fine outside, too.

I think it would highly depend on your climate. Due to the fact that the majority of this storage bench is made of MDF (Medium density fiberboard) It would eventually swell and decompose in climates with a lot of humidity. Personally I do not recommend this as an outdoor item unless you live in a VERY dry area and keep it out of the elements where it cannot get wet, ie a covered porch area & even then it would certainly shorten the lifespan of said storage bench.

I store mine in 5 gallon buckets with sealed lids in a cool dry place, it keeps great for 1 year as its used up by then.

as long as you keep it clean, I would assume you could use it inevitably. You may decide to clean the tubing or replace it. But the buckets will last you for as long as plastic holds up.

I just use a little bucket to keep it in, there may be a special holder out there but I'm not aware of it. Sorry.

Yes I do not see an issue with keeping this Cart stored outside. I would recommend that you try and put some sort of cover over it to protect it from the elements as there are some nuts and bolts that could rust over time. Hope this helps!

Yes I definately think so. It's large enough to store my salt bucket and scoop and even a few more things. It's fits nicely on my side stairs and is attractive. I probably will purchase another and use it as a garden hose storage out back.

I don't know. This is a relatively small (2 gallon) bucket which works well for my dogs in the winter. I can fill it in the kitchen and it is not too heavy to carry outside. Dogs are relatively short lived and this plastic probably won't be the cause of shortening their lives.

No there is not. I buy the 50 lb bucket at the end of the year and use it the following year. I have never had a problem. Just keep the container in a dry place

COmpletely. I have had six of these buckets for about 4 years and they work flawlessly, in Minnesota no less, where the air temps have dipped to 20+ below zero.

I would think not unless you keep it where it won't be hit by rain or snow. If it's in a dry area, yes it can be as it's a very sturdy item.

While I have not used it outdoors I don't see any reason you couldn't use it there. It is very well made and one of the best things I've ever bought sight unseen. I am much happier with it than I imagined.

In the instructions, it states NOT to use outside or in the ground. The housing "bucket" is fairly durable plastic housing, but could be a problem if it freezes. The pump itself is a heavy duty sump pump (and heavy). There is no concern about it getting wet, since the top is sealed and it is a sump pump (meant to be under water). Hope this helps.

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