Does anyone use these on a regular basis outside? I'd like to get a few for my kindergarten class, but I need to know that they can handle cement.

We have used it a little outside. When we did it was fine. Word of advice do not let them stand on it.

It does not roll as smoothly on pavement as is does on a wood or tile floor, but it does roll. Best if the ground is smooth such as blacktop. My 6 year old grandson loves it, lays on his belly or sits, much safer than a skateboard.

We have not had them long enough to give a positive or negative feed back on the wear and tear on the outside. Our grandson wanted two, which we purchased. We thought they would be the same ones they used at the elementary school (inside the gym). They were much smaller (not anyone's fault - just he noted it when we gave them to him). They had only been used in the garage. This would be a 5th grader and his buddy using them at the same time. They had fun with them inside the garage, but again only a short period of time outside. They are still in very good condition.

My grandchildren used the ones I purchased for Christmas outside over the holidays and they held up fine. Because they took them home to Portland, where it's cold, I doubt the children or the scooters have been on concrete much since, so I can't attest to how LONG they can handle cement. They seem very well made though.

I have only used these indoor on tile so I'm not sure but they are well made and seem sturdy.

I don't think they would do very well on hot pavement..they aren't very thick, more like ballons like the other person said. Plus, on the pavement they won't hold up very well anyways.

This is a great option for cement steps. You can put it down and have an instant weatherproof ramp.

Yes they will work on cement it will work on any surface. However depending on how rough the concrete or cement is they will wear quicker because they are only plastic.

yes, we definitely used them outside and if we forgot to bring them in when it rained, I simply took paper towels or a dish towel and dried them off. You can run on them and they do not break.

Well, most likely. They are hard. I would just avoid concrete with them. Although I have dropped them down a flight of stairs a few times and only minimal scratches. Of course, though, I didn't get them to become a Ninja Turtle. There for practice for my fire chucks. :)

Yes, they work well outdoors as well as indoors. They are sturdy too....good quality and serve their purpose.

Never tried it on cement, though it has plenty of power so it would probably handle the occasional lag shield. I don't think it would take it on a daily basis.

I would think they could be used outside but may be less effective especially if it rains. Terro makes a product specifically for outside use that I have used and is just as good. They even have spikes to hold them in the ground.

I want to use these benches at a school reading garden are they durable enough to withstand children and being outside all the time

I have several and use them on other surfaces as well. The ones used on my rough cement tile floor, do wear out faster though.

I would say this is not the right solution for you. These work good on wood floors but might get quickly worn out on concrete or brick. I would look for something else.

We buy these volleyballs for both indoor and outdoor purposes so they work well and are pretty durable. Cement might scuff them up a bit more than sand or hard wood floor but i bet it would still work well!

They are good for indoor floors or outdoors on sidewalks..they are very durable..my grandsons are 5 and 7..they love them !

I haven't had to teeter on rocks just yet but I did run into a big yellow concrete post, the ones that are put in front of buildings so you don't hit the building. They held up really well, no dents or anything just a nice long yellow stripe. I'd assume they'd do really well though on the rocks, not just for mall-crawling, the things are gnarly.

Yes, you could use on cement. No wind no problem. If there is a breeze, a rock or anything with weight on each corner would work.

No. They are canvas and would not hold up to being outside for that amount of time. They are perfect for their intended use.
