I don't know. I use mine indoors. While the receiver might function at cold temperatures, I would not want it located where it could be exposed to rain. The Etekcity web site shows a tab for specifications but I was unable to pull up anything. There is a Canadian firm, whose identity I do not recall, which supplies industrial remotes with a very long range. The receivers are not plug-ins, but have to be hard-wired into a box appropriate to the location.

Yes, but not outdoors in the elements, the cable is not rated for outdoor and underground... and if it will be bent drastically while that cold it may still not be suitable.

This question is older but in case the original poster or someone else still wants an answer: Yes, you can set it up outside in the winter. I would recommend putting a tarp under it to keep the bottom dry. Don't leave it out to get damp. If it does get damp / wet, set it up in your garage or similar covered area and run it till it is dry. You do not want to fold it up and put it away with it being damp. Also, I know this may be obvious, but don't set it up and run it in the rain.

I use mine outdoors where it does get rain on and it works just fine. I live in Houston, so I don't know how it would do with snow.

I don't think it would work in winter when the temps are below freezing. I don't plan on using it in the cold months.

Hi Alan,I don't know. We never have cold weather here. It works fine in our shop, which seldom gets below 60 degrees.

It is not insulated for very cold weather. there are dual flaps, but they do let the cold in. Not sure about snow as ours is under a covered porch.

I always put mine on before it gets that cold so I don't know. I have used it a couple weeks ago when it was in the 40's. I would think you need the ground to be thawed so it can soak into the ground.

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.

I don't use it in the rain so I can't answer how it would hold up. Works fine in cold weather.

Yes can be used outside as long as it is above freezing and out of the weather for all kinds of plants.

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.

Yes indeed. I have had mine outside in rain and snow for the past year or more. Just make sure it is snapped closed!

I am not sure if the Temperature during winter will affect the unit. And ofcourse, this unit must be protect from rain and snow. I do not think it is a reliable device to be used outside.
