Is it OK to hang outside in the Arizona sun and heat?

I wouldn't. The Arizona sun is so intense I think it would fade the colors.

I live in the Northeast and it has held up well. The sun in Arizona is much stronger so I can't say if you will have the same experience. This item is sturdy and well constructed but it is possible the color may fade.

If you mount the units under the panels then they'll be in constant shade as well that section of roof. Unless you live in Death Valley you should be okay.

I live in New Hampshire so its not uber hot up here but i have frequently noticed that its cooler inside the shelter than it is out in the sun usually by a lot.

I have not had a problem in NJ during the summer but temperatures here do not get as high here as in Arizona. It seems to be made of PVC. If temps were around 100 degrees I would provide shade or a soaker hose to cool off the material. I am not sure that anyone will be able to answer this question unless they too live in Arizona or another very hot state and you may have to take a chance. The boxes are well made but they are certainly not indestructible. You may want to speak with the manufacturer about a warranty since your issue may have been addressed before.

Best outside not around things that can burn.... dry season is here so beware of that. Wind is also something to watch for not being to strong.

I sure hope so because that's what I used it for. A rattan patio chair l use a lot in AZ. It is under a covered patio& doesn't get much sun exposure. I redid the chair last year & so far, so good.

I am usually in Phoenix. I have never been burned , but yes it can get very hot to the touch. A really nice cover though.

Not at all! It is extremely well ventilated. The sides are see-through breathable mesh, and the first layer (which you can't see in the picture), is the same breathable mesh. You do not have to use the heavier, sun reflecting layer if you do not want to. However, I believe it will not be too hot either. I live in Southern California where it can get 100+ degrees during the summer, and I still use this every day.

I have mine secured to the underside of wood but it doesn't rain much in AZ. I don't know how it would hold where it rains more.

Here in Phoenix, everything get too hot in the sun. Our patio bench sits on a covered patio, but is exposed to the morning sun. If it was going to be exposed to extended lengths of time in the sun, I would recommend getting a seat cushion for it. We use ours more for storage than seating.

Of course you can go outside but it's not something you would put on to go outside to lay in the sun to sunbathe.

I live in Mesa, so far I have had no problems, but mine are under our covered porch. I'd say as long as there is no exposure to the sun you should be good. Mine have made it through two summer seasons now. Good Luck.

We had rain and gusts around 30 mph in the woods of Northern Arizona's Rim Country. Properly secured we had no problems. I do recommended upgrading the tent stakes though.

Yes, with high heat and humidity like here in Houston, Texas you can get overheated in summertime. But, you can get overheated in these conditions humping with just a pack when it's hot out. I've used mine for a year and a half and have nothing but good words for it. I use it as a day pack with long term supplies in main backpack. Note that it does a great job of balancing out your load making it more comfortable to carry heavy loads. What I do when I get overheated is unzip the rib pack and let it hang loose, drink lots of water and rest in the shade a while before continuing. When wearing it by itself, it doesn't contribute much to your core temp. Hope that helps. Yes, with high heat and humidity like here in Houston, Texas you can get overheated in summertime.

Mine is hung outdoors, in a sunny location. It is there, rain or shine. I would be skeptical of hanging it in a humid environment in the shade.

I live in No. CA Trinity Alps so hot weather is nothing like AZ. However, the cover is holding up well in direct rain and snow. Also, I have the spa cover too which did fine in direct sun this past summer.
