How much water does this need? Its winter in Oregon, so its cool and moist now, but it won't get direct rain.

So long as the lawn is kept under indirect light, a light misting of water every other day should suffice (not to mention keep the smell to a minimum).

You'll probably have to water it once a week. I had mine out on my deck that was covered in SC. I had to water it every few days.

We have a very old dog and she hardly ever pees anywhere except the Doggie Lawn. We never water it and it usually ends up wetter than when we put it down. We replace it once a week. After a week she starts turning it into mud from spinning so many circles on it. We live in Santa monica CA; very moderate weather here.

I live in Oregon and drive 365 days a year (well, maybe miss 3-4 days from snow and ice) and it rains 9 months out of the year in Oregon and I've never run into any issues with it. Works as good as the day I bought it a 2-3 years ago.

I used it in the rain without the rain fly with no problem. Was it a downpour? No. Just some typical NE weather in the Summer, and I was bone dry in there

Not sure I'm here in California. It will survive rain no problem don't know about freezing weather.

im in California and its pretty dry at this time. id say a lite rain you'd be ok and i know there's some rain proffer you can get. that may help. but any thing heavier than the mist from your water hose you may want to up grade

I've left mine out in the rain and snow and it still works. It was hanging and no water collected on it.

Seems to be good. Rain stays out. But I haven't been in any serious downpour with it. Otherwise it's pretty sweet.

No water seeped thru. Large puddle of water and ice collected in middle.Plan build a rise in the middle next fall.

I don't know for sure but in my opinion it is not water tight; I wouldn't expose it to rain.

Not sure yet, as this will be my first winter using the product. But, like any plumbing, as long as the water flows through the pipe, you shouldn't have issues with freezing or bursting pipe, maybe just turn the amount up a bit more to a fast drip.

There are holes in the front for ventilation, so if there is a heavy wind and rain I suppose some mail could get a bit wet. My mailbox is hung next to my front door, with a normal 1 foot overhang for roof/gutters. I live in NJ where there is plenty of rain/snow, and I have never had a problem. My mail is always dry.

Well, I just lived in it for a week up in the Nicolet National Forest here in Wisconsin. It rained 5 or 6 different times during the week and we didn't get any water inside. The year before was different in that we had a huge thunderstorm and 50+ mph winds. I did get a little water inside then because I had put one of the stakes for the rain fly in some soft ground. That combined with the wind caused it to let go and some water got in. No big deal. I think under normal conditions you would not need another rainfly.

Lots of factors...what is water temp now? Where do you want it? How warm outside? Solar cover in place...couple degrees an hour is a rough estimate...good luck
