I would like to put this outside near our hot tub. Can it be used outside? And could it be put on plexiglass?

I don't know how well it adheres to plexiglass. I used this in my bathroom over the shower/bath window, and it has adhered well for years in a moist environment. If your area is subject to temperature extremes, such as the midwest, I don't know that outside is a good idea. As Jason suggests, I'd check the manuf.'s recommendations.

I would think it would be fine on Plexiglass. Check the manufacturer'so web site to be sure. But I don't think it would be good on the outside of the window, because it uses water to adhere to the glass. I would be concerned that rainwater would cause it to peel off if it were applied outside. Why not apply it from the inside? I think you will still get a nice effect.

Yes, this can be used outdoors. I add sand bags to each side for more support.

I don't see why not. It would be covered by sunbrella or other material that was for the outdoor area...it is an insert...not to be used by itself.

I have not used it outside. Given the low price and free shipping, I'd give it a shot. You'd have to weight the legs or lay it down when not in use if you have wind. You MIGHT think about some silicone to squirt around the connections and beneath bolts as you tighten and then over them once it's done to prevent rain and splashes from getting in and rusting it right away. Also, it's light enough that you could pick it up and move it inside when not in use. Another thing, you could leave out the middle section and make it shorter for kids so they don't pull on a towel and pull it over. None of these things tested, just mentioning them as ideas.

The plexiglass is positioned so that it is "arched" therefore there is no issue with water remaining on top. However there were several issues I had with the one I bought and how the pieces fit together including the plexiglass staying affixed between the front and back tracks. It would blow out with winds and land on the ground. I would contact the company and make sure this will not be an issue.

Yes it can be used outdoors but it must be protected from rain and snow such as on a covered porch. I have one high up on a covered porch so not water hits it through this cold winter in PA and so far no problems. If not protected from water it cannot be used outdoors.

We live in California and put our tub on a concrete patio. We bought a sheet of hard foam that was about an inch thick and then put the pad that came with the tub on top of that. It pads it nicely and insulates a bit. Very comfy, just expensive to keep it heated to 100 degrees.

I use mine outdoors. It works very well. I think it would also work fine for a smaller dog if placed in the bathtub but would be too messy otherwise.

This would just make a mess. Ok for a surface or rain gutter, but even then this product is questionable. It's a silicone base, but even using a 100% silicone tube would work better than the spray, and I still wouldn't use it on a hot tub

My pool is 25,000 +/- and is in the Northeast. I can raise the temp about a degree an hour and yes it can be installed outside and the fellow who did mine said do not cover it in the off season.

I don't see any reason why this can't be used outside in shaded area besides water getting hot or cold due to outside weather conditions. Hope this helps.

I agree with Mickey's answer below. There is no reason why you COULDN'T put it on the outside of the window as the instructions are to clean the window, apply a mixture of soap/water to the window using a spray bottle, position the trimmed to fit film and then squeegee (supplied) the film to get the water out. However, it would likely have a shorter life due to the elements it would face (changing temps, humidity, pollution...) and I don't know whether it would maintain its "stick" if it is outdoors. Bottom line is "I don't know."

There are electrical connections required to heat the water, but if you insulate them sufficiently against any moisture, there's no reason why you can't leave it outside. Caveat: the sun may cause the plastic to discolor and break down sooner than if the unit is stored indoors.

I'm sure it was not intended to be used outdoors; however, it is all plastic so it could be used outdoors. Just would be harder to keep track of the blocks and not sure how the little booklet on the side would hold up with moisture.

This is designed to be used outside. You must be careful not to over water, or water will seep out the bottom.

Not sure it's meant for outdoor use. I would think it would be fine as long as it doesn't get rwined on.

I would say yes you can use it outside but I would give it some shelter from the sun and rain. Also, you may have more issues with algae if the ponds gets a lot of sunshine, requiring more carbon changes
