Will this hold up being outside in the weather?

I gave this as a present and the person has never put it outside. The quality was very good! Hope this helps.

Mine broke just falling off a table on the porch onto a wooden deck, when they get real cold the material breaks even easier when they fall over. They are not solid they are hollow inside. but they are real cute, just have to careful they do not fall or something falls onto them.

I gave one to my husband in Michigan. His office overlooks the garden where the bird feeder is. We have limited sun in Michigan and it's fading already since Father's Day in the garden. Like the other person said, it's very cute and my husband likes it. Probably best indoors if you are looking for longevity.

Mine fell off a short table and the feet broke off (landed on concrete). I was able to use it in the yard anyway but after one year out in the sun the paint colors have really faded.

Mine has done well in rain and snow. bought a second one for the walkway. Both are hung on garden stakes so no protection from the elements.

I do not think it would be reliable for outside use. Sun would deteriorate the plastic material, and I doubt it would be water tight, so rain could get in.

I imagine so. It's very sturdy, as well as attractive. I don't know about leaving it out in bad weather, although even that might be ok.

I don't believe it would withstand the rain or wind. It is very light weight.

I don't know how it would hold up in heavy rain, but it's great shelter for mild/moderate rain. I live in Oregon, and mostly use it for a sun shade, but have also spent time out while raining.

We live in Palm Springs and I think it will hold up fine. We have it in a shaded side of the house so it will not get direct sunlight. Has handled rain and wind well.

Yes. I've had mine outside, with some sun exposure, and it holds up just fine.

It is ok. It will hold up a little bit but not forever. The sun and rain will eventually make it rot as it does with everything. We live in southwest Florida and even our patio umbrellas get dry rot.

I don't think it would hold up to much weather. I also believe it would fade very badly exposed to sunlight. I would suggest bringing it inside when not in use

I was actually surprised with the durability of this plastic. It withstands the wind well as long as there are no sagging parts or loose ends for the wind to grab. However it does not withstand weather during the winter in colder places, mine became brittle under freezing conditions but i think it would work fine long term in a tropical environment, hope this helps.

I have one, It's not meant to be used Outside. Certainly if you put it outside, it will work, but I wouldn't want to get it wet or leave it exposed to extreme weather. I don't see it being capable of withstanding the elements.

It's not built to withstand weather. So I doubt it should be outside unless very well protected. It's a good device though and I always received great support.

It would hold up in the sun and rain. But I'm not sure the seals are tight enough to keep the water out. It doesn't look air tight. We used it in the garage.

Since it is marketed as an outdoor fan I would say probably yes. But we put ours in the shed for the winter and when it is going to rain or storm so it doesn't get blown over or knocked around.

I do not think this would be sturdy enough for outdoors. The frame is lightweight. I think any wind would knock it over.
