Will this crate stand outdoor elements under a covered porch?

I believe it will. I leave my crates outside without cover during the summer. I did stain them and I do place them in a shed during the winter. I don't know how many years they may last, but they are a nice quality wood and sturdy. I hope this is helpful.

I don't see why not, although you may want to paint it with stain or polyurethane. It is unfinished and untreated wood so over time exposure the moisture in the air may cause the wood to rot.

I think they will. You might want to cover it with some sort of protective finish as it is unfinished wood. You could go to Lowes or Builders Square and ask what would be the best thing to use. These are great crates and could easily be painted with a protective finish in a very short period of time. Hope this helps!

I suspect for some period of time, but its solid, low grade wood and doesn't appear to be treated. If outside, even though covered, I'd coat it with some level of protection.

I can't say for sure as mine are indoors but I would think so. We use ours in our mud room for shoe storage and I can say that they are very durable and sturdy. Hope this helps!

Mine are outside under a covered porch but the rain blows in on them and they are in full southern sun all afternoon. About 6 months so far and they look brand new. The material looks like it will survive anything, The finish may fade eventually and they may rust. I wouldn't have any concerns about leaving them outside with a cover.

It is very nice and sturdy, but would not stand up to weather. Perhaps on a covered porch.

In my opinion, I would refrain from placing this item in the elements. It is a veneer, as I mentioned in my review, we had to actually add wood putty and stain to a few cracks and other imperfections that were visible upon assembly. It would look rather handsome outside in a sitting area or porch, but again the elements may wreak havoc on the engineered wood. Good luck!

I briefly left one of our units outside on a covered porch. It did OK. I wound up bringing into a garage. It would probably be OK outside, but I felt better to have ours out of the elements and out of view from neighbors, etc (glowing red light on the porch)>

I think so, as long as the porch is covered, don't see why it wouldn't hold up.

I have mine on an open air porch so it gets a little bit of rain on it. I haven't had any issues with rain bothering it. It wouldn't hurt to put a coat of protectant on it if it will be outside though.

It should be protected from water and weathering elements. I have mine underneath my house. The first one I had was ruined when a water pipe burst and got it wet. I know someone else who has it on their porch.

I have mine under a covered porch so it doesn't get rained on. Unless you get some sealant to coat the top with, I don't think it would hold up too long in the rain/snow. It's fine in the sun, it lets fresh air through. It would probably be fine in windy conditions but it's light enough be be knocked over by a large dog unless it's backed up against a wall. Also, I'm in the pacific northwest so we have an abundance of rainy weather. If you're somewhere with tamer weather, it might be fine in the rain.

Hi Jeff. It's a really nice cage but I wouldn't use it for outdoors - maybe a screened in porch but not outside in the actual elements.

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.

Mine is under a covered patio. where the sit lifts up. I am doutful if this is rain and snow proof. It would be great for packages as it has lots of room.

I do not know, but I doubt it. Mine has always been on a covered porch or inside.

Yes provided that the unit is protected from the elements: freezing, rain, direct sunlight. Some customers who put it outside will build a little shed or "doghouse" for it.

I wouldn't put this outside unless on a covered porch. It ended up being too small to store my cushions, so I use it as an inside piece. It makes a good storage bench in the MBR closet...

Mine sits on a covered porch where rain can't hit it. I bought the cover to keep the outside clean fron dust and bird poop.

In a porch maybe but probably wouldn't last long against the elements if completely outside.
