Is this box waterproof?

No, the slats are open to the outside and allow ventilation, but so far Rain and Snow have not gotten in.

No, the slats are open to the outside for ventilation. It doesn't seem to pool with rainwater or snow due to positioning of slats, though.

Not as such....... The sides are vented slats to give some air circulation to what's inside. They are like venetian blinds in that they all angle downward so water falling from above will not get inside. Only "up-blown" water could get inside realistically. It is well built and sturdy. I did add a wooden "D" shaped handle to the top front edge to make it easier to lift the top.

No, It is water resistant as it has a coating on the top and seems to hold up to our snow but I would not call it water proof. Very solid.

The box is made of wood and while it has been varnished, I would say it is somewhat water resistant. The sides are close slats and not joined which allows lots of air through the box which allows objet inside to dry and air out. Of course, the sides would definitely rule out a waterproof box. I am going to add a coat of polyurethane or something similar to the top of the bos as an additional preventative against weathering.

This box works well at keeping mail dry and is big enough for my magazines. We have had a few thunderstorms and snowstorms here since I put it up and nothing has gotten wet so I would say yes! BTW - it's not under a roof overhang.

I think so. We've had some pretty hard winds and rain and it's been great! It is under the edge of our camper awning but everything else would be soaked and the box never leaked.

Yes...it has a lip around the lid that overlaps the box which provides protection from moisture. I have used it outside in the weather for months now with no problems.

The box is made of molded plastic panels that over lap and snap together and the top fits over a ridge at the top of the sides, front and back panels so rain can not enter. None of the joints are sealed tight but if water got inside it would drain out the bottom. If standing water rose high enough over the bottom floor it would get to the box contents.My box is kept out on a boat dock exposed to rain and wind and I have not had any problems with contents getting wet. I have had mine since my review and it is still in great shape.If I was going to store charcoal I would set the bags on something to keep them a little above the floor.

I wouldn't call it waterproof at all. It's basically the same thing as a large tool box. Water won't pour in when closed, but would not consider it waterproof.

We live in FL and get lots of rain. The box is in our back yard under a large palm tree and we have not had any water get into the box. As another person said make sure when you put it together all parts snap tightly in place. Hope this helps.

Not waterproof. The door seam is pretty tight, though. In my experience with similar boxes mounted under cars, the road dust may work its way in over the years and become dirty inside. There is plenty of room in this box to wrap your key inside a zipper-seal plastic sandwich bag, which will keep it clean and dry and give it some padding as well.

Yes it is waterproof, but you are not supposed to leave it submerged the water for days on end, rust etc.

Yes. The box is fully welded and the lid has a rubber seal. I have this on a trailer and have had no issues with things getting wet while driving in the rain.

The top slats are tongue and grooved so water won't go through. But, on the other hand, I would not expose the box to water. Hope this helps....Jim

The materials seem moisture resistant (not paper cones), but the box doesn't say "water proof" anywhere.

Theoretically, I think this would work OK in a water-proof outdoor box--but, it really is built for indoors. I'd personally go for a unit sold for the outdoors. It's my understanding this company sells such outdoor units.

No it is not waterproof. Most of the time the receiver box is the part that is waterproof.

I can't answer this from my usage, but the Amazon product description does not indicate that it is waterproof.

I don't know how waterproof box is. However the cable is pretty sturdy, it has a loop on one end, and a metal tab on other. You would slip loop through fence then push other end through loop, to secure to fence or rail etc. then with box unlocked the tab goes into box, small hole in rear, allows box to shut and lock.I have mind secured to front seat of my car, for emergency cash and band aids and stuff. But as stated don't know how waterproof it is or safe to be exposed to outside elements.

It is. The sides come down on the outside of the box. There is a gap in the back. But the back plate is bent in to stop drips & leaks. In a hard rain, probably not. But it has worked well for me so far.
