Can these be used without cover, or do they need to be placed under an over hang of some sort? As far as it's weather proofing rating goes (IPx3)?

I can't answer that. I have three sets. One inside of my garage and one set in each of my covered patios (one on the house and one on my detached garage). All three work great in a covered location but no ideas on an uncovered location. Sorry.

It doesn't specify but I've had mine under an eve in the weather for several years now with no issues.

I have 4 of them located outside. They are not actually for this purpose, but I have had mine installed for 2 years and no problems. Just make sure you locate them in a dry (rainproof) location. I have mine under the eaves of my house.

Ours are mounted under the roof over our deck. The reason we use them is to block low-lying sun that comes under the roof, and to protect during light rain showers. We have only had them up for one summer, and had no problems. They are protected from the weather however, so I don't really know how they would hold up if they were frequently wet while rolled up.

I use them outside, but they need a front enclosure ...to protect from the weather

These hold up under wind, rain & snow. Just use KampDry before you take it out. Might want a tarp for the ground...

They do have a protective coating on them of some sort. I have mine under a covered patio, but I do think they would hold up to moisture and rain.

Hi Ron. I imagine that like any adhesive it would be better to apply these covers when the temperature is neither extremely hot or cold. I have had no issue with these staying on since I applied them, although the temperature range where I live only goes from about 50F (10C) up to 100F (35C). The covers look great & do there job protecting the duco. All the best, Bob.

They aren't weather proof. They are labeled weather resistant. My two are outside but under cover out if the rain.

I wouldn't use them where they could get wet. for the most part, outdoor approved iirc means you can get the cord section wet, and... that's just not a lot to work with in this case

They are better to just use them for a cover. Get a much better quality one if you want it to stay put. Hope this helps. :)

I have just installed the box and haven't been in winter weather with it yet. I am planning to install a sheet metal cover over it and will be o.k. if I keep it dry.

I have them IN lanterns as well but under a roofed area. I don't recommend leaving them out where they can get wet. The bottom (where the batteries go) is not water proof.

For the price I wouldn't hesitate to place these outside. The units are sealed and placed upside down, and the ant response was immediate. however, I did not place them outside. Good luck

I cover mine in rain and snow. The wind can blow your pilot light out, depending on direction and force. I cover mine by placing my plastic camping table over it. Important to keep back dry

Sure. That is how I have them installed. However mine are under a patio cover. I wouldn't use them in the weather.

Their ad advises "Ideal for outdoor/Indoor IP65 case" which seems to suggest that outdoor use is acceptable. Mine is mounted outdoors and partially protected by the eave it's mounted under. So far, so good.

I have ours installed outside. They are under a covered patio and go into a protected portion of the ceiling. Have the installed for over a year and no issues.
