How would this hold up if the finished product was kept outdoors?

not well. made an embossed wall hanging for my parent's patio and it did not hold up to the outdoor climates.

I think it would highly depend on your climate. Due to the fact that the majority of this storage bench is made of MDF (Medium density fiberboard) It would eventually swell and decompose in climates with a lot of humidity. Personally I do not recommend this as an outdoor item unless you live in a VERY dry area and keep it out of the elements where it cannot get wet, ie a covered porch area & even then it would certainly shorten the lifespan of said storage bench.

I would not leave it exposed to weather. It will eventually show corrosion.

We left ours up outside for a month or so outside and it did not rust or get damaged. It seems pretty sturdy as long as you keep it staked into the ground..If you get alot of wind you may want to bring it in also.

Yes I do not see an issue with keeping this Cart stored outside. I would recommend that you try and put some sort of cover over it to protect it from the elements as there are some nuts and bolts that could rust over time. Hope this helps!

It is solid plastic, so it's not going to rust. It isn't a flimsy plastic either, you should be fine using it outside.

yes, we leave it outdoors all summer, w/ no problems. It has a good finish and does not rust -- although if you were to "rock" it on a stone/concrete/brick patio, the coating would erode.we made a quick cover out of some plastic packaging to keep the leaves/detritus from collecting in the "lounging" area - that was the only fail in the design -- realistically, there is no way a "hole" could have been placed in the sit-upon area w/o destroying the integrity.

I love ours, but I don't think it would hold up well outdoors. Wood might age too quickly; hinges would probably rust. Would also be tough to clean.

The Harken company primarily manufacturers gear for sailboats and the blocks, guides and pulleys for this system seem to be built of the same materials. I would think it would hold up fine outdoors.

I keep mine inside however, being that it is painted and not exposed metal I would think that it would be fine outside. The only issue I foresee is maybe the rubber drying out over time but you could always tape it up if that happens. I wouldn't worry about keeping it outside.

It's designed for an outside door, so I would suspect it would hold up to the elements.

I didn't use it outdoor but I'm guessing if it's exposed to humid weather the glue probably won't last and it might start peeling very quickly.

It will lose its finish and rust. It is not made to be in the direct sunlight or get wet. If you had it covered by a porch or something where it would get indirect sunlight and not be impacted by the weather it would probably be fine.

I have never used them for outdoor projects. Once dry it takes a lot to get rid of acrylic paint, so my guess is it will last you for a while, but just to be sure you could put a layer of clear outdoor paint on top of it.

If you are going to use it outdoor, then bring it back in when you are done, then I would say yes.if you are going to leave it outside permanently, then no.I have used mine for a myriad of purposes.I have used it when camping, where it was outside for several days, but when we got home, I cleaned it up and put it away. I have used it for a garage sale, and for street fairs. Most times were outdoors. I have also used it indoors when I needed to, for extending my dining room table. This has been a very sturdy and useful item!I feel it has been worth the price, and more. Good luck!

The ground moisture would probably make it rot rather quickly because, although heavy duty, it is fabric. Hope this helps.

I KEEP mine outside but under a covered porch...the finish on them is minimal so if I were you I would put a coat of polyurethane on them. The wood seems solid enough to put outdoors.
