This item is very sterdy. I assume since it is designed to be retractabl, it should not be kept open. I think the wind wwould do more damage than rain. Rain, you can increase the slope.

I've used it in the rain with no problems. I wouldn't stick it under water or anything, but if it gets some water on it it should be fine.

I have a small overhang on my front porch, but when rain/wind come from the west, the whole porch/mailbox does get wet. I;ve had mine abt a year and my mail has never gotten wet.

It is designed for indoor use only. The construction is not water tight. However, I have one mounted outdoors in a covered porch area. Its been going strong for about 6 months now. If you can keep the rain off it, you might be fine.

I had mine installed and got some rain before it was completely taught. The water did come through slowly. I would think it would work well over a slatted patio cover. It gives a perfect amount of filtered light and shouldn't ha e a problem with rain. Although if you live in an area with extremely heavy rain or snow I wouldn't advise it.

We installed ours on an outside door last October. So far, no problems but the rainy season hasn't hit yet.

Hello! Yes, the rain goes right through unless it rains very heavily. It can sag somewhat so we put up a pole in the center to raise it slightly. We like that look also. We used the Shade Sail Hardware Kit (Square) ordered from Amazon for $15.76 plus shipping. Nice heavy duty hardware. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Gary

I've had this installed for about two months now at the bottom of my deck out in the weather. It has been rained on several times including all last night and right now, and has been snowed on once. So far...so good. I have been thinking about rigging a cover for it though. I don't see it as flimsy really, considering the price.

UV rays from the sun will deteriorate the fabric for sure and I would imagine that it would saturate with water if rained on, so I would say no. Maybe under an awning or in a garage, but not directly in the elements. I don't think it would hold up very long outside with no protection.

john, I have it mounted under a roof overhang so it does not get direct rain. But so far works without any issues.

I've had no problem. It's water-tight, so it is safe to leave outside when it rains (even in heavy rain). The hinges are solid and the wiring stands up to the flexing in the door well.

it seems very well made , I used it in a garage ,I think it could handle some moisture but not direct rain you could call the 1 800 # listed for more information The only way water could get in is through the cord on top ( maybe some silicone would do the trick)

the surface should shed rain... I used a shingle varnish/oil that came close to matching our out door furniture...

IMHO? rain could be ok but it does tend to hold water sometimes around the edges so if you're attentive to keep excess off... My park only allows these otherwise I'd go with something else. Rain, wind & snow can callapse them Easily if you don't take added measures. I live in snow country and had to go out every hour during a heavy storm last winter to clear the roof, those who did not had theirs collapse. It's relatively easy to tear down & rebuild, I don't know about moving it fully assembled. I tweeked the direction of mine a bit while setting it up & it tended to fall apart if I moved it too far from it's original set up. Frankly, if $ were not the issue I'd go elsewhere but I'm preparing for winter 2 with this. Hope that helped.

I have mine under an awning, so it gets rained on a little and still works. It's technically outside, but I wouldn't call it waterproof.

Hmmm I think so... I don't have a storm door however it is on a covered porch. Part of it is plastic so I suspect it will not be harmed by the elements, particularly since you have an awning.

It could probably handle a light rain. The wood is lacquered and would be fine during the summer. But I wouldn't leave it out during the winter. It's a great table, though.
