Can you use it outside to prevent water seepage when it rains? I have a dog house outside. But, when it rains, water seeps in, to put over it outside

I don't know for absolute certainty but I would say no; it's not strong enough. I would use Tyvek house wrap or a blue tarp.

Hello, I just got this product today and it wasn't what I expected. I think that it could potentially prevent some water leaks, but hard rain or hail would probably deteriorate it fairly quickly. It might be worth a shot, especially for the price, but it would not be a long term solution. Hope this helps!

Water will seep through unless you put some coating on it. The XPS foam would work better.

Should work , if not it can be used as a make shift raft. might just be easier to not upset the wife when raining however

I was also considering this product for keeping rain out but if it doesn't do that I won't bother... Anybody had any experience with rain? Is it actually waterproof?

I use mine outdoors for exactly that same reason. I only cover it when it rains. I got a small tarp and bungee cords to use as cover. I've only had it for the summer and its holding up great outdoors. I do plan to bring it in for the winter season. Hope this helps.

Mine stopped working after 2 month due to rain I assume. There are small openings where water can get in. The product never kept dogs from barking in the first place so I didn't care when it finally broke. I wouldn't recommend this, especially around water.

This is not an outdoor dog house. It is a temporary shelter for use under supervision at such things as a dog show. A hard wind will blow it away even with the stakes in. Rain will eventually soak through. I love it for use at agility trials both indoors and out, but I would not leave my dogs unattended in this. In hot weather I also put a fan inside as it can get stuffy.

That would not be a good use of it--it is very sturdy but a heavy rain would get through it---it's nylon, not canvas. Water could get in through the bottom/base as well if the ground is wet.

Yes, that is what its purpose is, outside access. That being said, I would try to put it out of the rain if I could, as well as the sun. Not that it won't handle it, but the plastic would last much longer if it were shaded and protected.

No it's not supposed to be for wet areas. The company told me it shouldn't even be outside, it will void warranty. I bring mine in if not in use but sometimes I forget:). I'm sure a few sprinkles have hit it and it seems ok.

I would not use it outside unless you would take it in when it rains. The bottom is a tray which would catch the rain.

No I don't think using it outside is wise. Unless being used in a covered area outside where water will not be able to get into the top area. Top is open - apart from wood framing, the cover is plastic so don't really think it will stand up much to sun, rain and wind elements.

It would leak, unfortunately. I have mine hanging as outdoor curtains and when it rains they're pretty much soaked through but dry easily the next day.

It is permeable and water will seep through. The soil alone is very heavy and watered, it is even heavier. If you're worried, it's not the best location. I highly recommend this product with the proper placement in your yard.

Yes. I use mine exclusively outside, though it's on my deck, under cover of the eaves. It could safely get wet, though. You'd just have to dry off the two platforms and the floor before putting pets back in there again. The cage itself is stainless steel.

It prevents rain from getting you wet. Alas, it does not prevent the rain from occurring. It is completely waterproof.

I did use it once when it was raining and the water did not leak through. Hope this helps.

Hey Barbara, depends on how hard rain hits the door. If it is light, it will keep occasional rain out if the sweep hits the door sill right. However, if you get hard driving rain against the door, I would have a seal under the door, something high quality

I have not used it for rain myself but the person who recommended it to me had and said it worked great for rain. I cannot see any reason it would not as the material is thick and certainly seems like it would not let water through.
