Can this cabinet be used on the patio?

Yes, is made of plastic, but it is not water resistant, also remember with time and sun exposure plastic seems to get brittle and its life is diminished.

I have it on my screened porch and one like it outside and they are holding up great

I have it outside on my garden porch. It is partly covered, but water blows in. It seems to protect my gadgets and wipes off fine.
520988
Yes it can. I am using mine on my carport and it is partially exposed to the elements.

Of course! It is made of plastic so the elements will not hurt it. It is lightweight, so it is easy to move wherever you need it.

I have my stereo housed inside this cabinet every summer! I live in Michigan so in winter it gets put away but mine has lasted about 8 years now and I just bought a new one because it was looking weathered however still holding up great!

I don't see why not? Its made of plastic, so it can get wet, however its not sealed, so weather would get in through the doors. I think as long as you are storing items that can survive getting wet and the extremes of weather, it should be fine. Otherwise, I'd get one of those bench/box things.

I have two of these in my home office which I use for office supplies/craft supplies. Plus two on my car port for my husbands to have for keeping all the tools and gardening items. The outdoor ones are fine, but we have them under the carport roof.

I did not but it appears that it would be possible. We do like the cabinet and have not had any issues with it.

Yes, but you may have to take the doors off to install! It's a great cabinet.

Place on concrete patio? Sure. Don't foresee a problem unless you intend to plant items that grow really deep roots. On a wood patio? Probably would need a base as dirt will fall/wash away through wood slats.Not sure if you are aware, but the wood is just the 'outline'; frame is seemingly flimsy until dirt is poured in to stabilize the unit.

The cabinet can be surface mounted or recessed. I used it surface mounted but it required a piece of plywood to be mounted first for stability. The cabinet is pretty heavy.

We have had it on the porch, a few feet away from us. Yes, it can be on the patio. The unit makes a low humming noise, but not bothersome at all.

You can, but it might be a bit wobbly. Cabinets using this type of construction typically rely on the back panel for horizontal stability. There's a 2 inch gap along the top that allows some airflow for things on the upper shelves.

Yes, actually think a patio area is ideal. I use it indoors and often have to fold it up when not in use. The mat is pretty hardy so should last.

You will need a base for it as it is completely open on the bottom as well as each step. You will use quite a bit of dirt to full it but it would definitely work on a patio if you added a base. In my opinion, it would also help possibly with some structure issues as the pieces just slide together and there are no screws or anything holding it together. You will either need to fill with dirt as you build or use wood glue or something for structural support. Hope this helps!!

Not in the open, the panels are material. Might be ok on covered patio. It is very nice looking and quite sturdy.

It is not designed for that, and is not moisture resistant, so I would not do so. Units designed for outdoor use are designated as such by UL.

Yes it could. I have it in my back yard on a hard dirt - not leveled area with my canopy and patio set. Went together very easily. I have never tried to take it apart - but I think it would be very easy to do

We have that same design in our entrance hall, and the top is open, and susceptible to moisture, etc. I'd have to say no on outdoor use, unless it's an enclosed patio, with some climate control.

Yes, I believe so, though I no longer have the packaging to confirm. This is not built well enough for an all-weather environment. I could see it being on a covered patio perhaps, but not exposed to the elements.

I wouldn't use this outside unles it's under a cover porch etc. I think the wood wouldn't do well if exposed to the westher.

it probably would be fine--if the cabinet is not too small. The unit moves a lot of rather hot air, so it would be nice if the cabinet had some ventilation---maybe even a few 2 inch holes on the sides toward the top would add assurance.

No. This would not last outside. The top is wood and the metal is not sturdy enough for out side.
