Outdoor at the end of our porch is where we use it. Kept it out all winter did not damage it at all

Yes, but it does not hold up very well in strong winds. Additionally, our shade came with a couple of parts missing in the assembly hardware that they send to you.

Absolutely. Mine is on the patio and has helped reduce not only the temp in the house but has helped lower the electric bill a little. It's a great shade and I really recommend it.

YES!I have had two hanging outside for about a year and no noted deterioration. Very pleased with construction, ease of hanging and durability. Both hang in sun to shield about 1/2 day.

You can use this outside, but if it gets wet it is done. Also direct sun will melt it.

I wouldn't use this outside, I don't think it wouldn't give off enough heat for outdoor use.

Not at all. It is all plastic with a metal bowl, so no problem with using outdoors.

Can it be used outdoors? Yes. Is it wise or likely to end well? No, no it's not. :)

I don't know why it couldn't be used outside. It is all plastic (or something like that). It seems like it would be water proof. Moisture might make it slippery and therefore not too safe; maybe that is why it is listed for indoor use.

You can use it outdoors but its too nice to wreck from weather. Its a really nice wood that probly wont do well in really hot sun or rain. best used indoors.

I don't know for sure, but I'd be hesitant to use it outside. It seems to me to be best suited for indoor use.

I think it could be used outdoors. It stands up to moisture fine. But it is a foam, and foams break down eventually. Sunlight would speed up that process.

No,it is not intended for outdoor use, however if it is placed where it will not be directly exposed to the elements, it should be fine. If you place it under a porch, gazebo, or similar protection, so that it isn't soaked by a rainfall, there should be no worries.

Depends, it is not sealed, made for indoor use, you can use it outside, as long as it's not raining or wet. Mine is attached to my roll-about garage workbench, I use it in the garage and the driveway.

I don't know if it can because it doesn't specify....I would say not to use it outdoors because it can get damaged by the weather/elements. It doesn't seem sturdy enough to leave outdoors 24/7, but if you put it out only during the day and bring it in if bad weather occurs, I suppose it might be fine. However, I would advise getting one specifically made for outdoors.

It is officially rated for indoor use but if you kept it out of the weather (dry) I don't see why you could not use it outdoors.

You could use it outside, however I wouldn't. It's very nice, probably too nice for outside

Can be used outdoors, but unit is not waterproof, not to left out or used in wet conditions.

I would suggest you check with the manufacturer to be 100% sure. My disclaimer answer would be "NO", its not intended for outdoor use. But if you are using it in a dry setting where there is absolutely no water, liquids, snow near or touching it, I don't see why it would be a problem.

I don't believe so. There was nothing that indicated it could be used outdoors in the literature.
