Can it be left outside or does it need to be covered/stored?

Needs to be covered. Mine's under a porch. By the way, the controller quit working tonight.Had to go to plan B and cook inside. It's common for the control to be replaced, but notthis soon. Will order 2 replacements, one for now and one for a spare.

It has an electric control on it. So should be protected from rain. I keep mine on a covered porch out of the rain.

i bought a cheap cover at wal mart to protect it. I put it in the garage. i had thought about leaving it outside but was just a little leary.

It should not be used outdoors without being covered. It does have a 3/4" top so it'll resist warping, but it won't resist damage related to water/snow directly on the table top. We used it outdoors on a covered patio.

There is no need to store unless there is a prolonged period of non-use. I put deflated slide over my fence to get it dry and off the ground and used it several days in a row

I don't think it's for outdoor storage unless it's in a protected place like an enclosed patio or garage.

I leave my bowl plugged in 24/7 outside but it is on a covered patio. I think you could leave it plugged in outside with no protection as long as the electrical outlet it's plugged in is not exposed to water. I am very pleased with this bowl as water never freezes now. Hope this helps.

I leave mine attached outside. I put a small roof over it to protect it from the rain

Can't really answer that , as we left ours attached to the boat (covered of course). I would think you could probably easily remove it though, if you wanted to store it.

We have left this outside many times and it stands up to the rain and sprinkler system just fine. If it starts to get windy we just unhook it from the sides and bottom and closed it like a curtain. During the winter we did take it down and stored it.

No, it doesn't it. I think it would be fine to just leave the cover draped (not tied at the bottom) for air circulation, but I haven't owned it long enough to determine if there are any moisture issues. If you leave it outside day and night, you'll probably get a certain amount of moisture regardless.

No. The unit in my opinion is not durable enough to be left outside. If you brought back in after use u should be ok. I personally have not took it outside.

it should be protected from rain and freezing temperatures.so it can be mounted outdoors but in a weather protected location (ie. a box). used mine under a tarp one summer.

Try not to leave it out there when it is raining but if in case it does get wet, just leave it out until it dries before putting it away.

This item is not specifically intended to be kept outdoors. It may show signs of weathering over time.

We just bought the Sand and Water Center this spring so I can't answer how it would do left out over the winter. We plan to store it inside however.

Our grill stays outside. We have a cover for it which I'm sure protects it from the elements and that would be my recommendation to make sure it doesn't corrode in any way. Also, the cover keeps it clean so I would imagine you use a cover anyway.

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.
