can you leave it up outside for the summer?

It's very sturdy, I wouldn't leave it in the weather unless you don't mind it looking "weathered"

I have the teepee inside so I don't know how well it will withstand outside conditions.

Have not left it out that long because ok mowing and rain. It is pretty sturdy.

Heather, I would not leave it up outside. However, it is very easy to set up and take down. Good luck.

I would not put it permanently. We left ours outside over the winter and some to the components inside froze and no longer work. But leaving it out all season should be fine.

Yes, but it might get a bit tedious to do everyday. I just leave mine up all the time. It's been up for about 2 months straight. Other than fading a bit from the sun, it's in great condition. It'd be putting the skirts on around the leg poles and the separate little poles to hold the corners out that could make it annoying to do everyday.

I wouldn't use it in the summer. It has just enough insulation to make you hot in the summer.

I guess it would depend on where you live. I'm in NJ and I wouldn't leave it outside all year long. I can't see why you would want to but I guess you could, it's plastic. I will say, I do love mine. I have 2.

You could use it out side, however, it is NOT insulated so therefore in the cold or heat you would need to do something different. Also the top does not fasten, it just sets on top. I would NOT recommend it for outside use

We keep ours in the shade of an oak tree in the summer. I'm sure in the sun it would be hot.

You can leave it out. I wouldn't suggest for long periods of time through heavy rain season but it's pretty durable. What's nice is it only takes a couple minutes to fold up the legs and store it.

I believe it is ... we bought it for that reason. It was left outside all summer long with no problems.

Yes it can be left outside. I actually bought a cover for it to protect it more from the elements and I also stained it

I would suggest dissembling it for winter if you aren't going to use it. It stands up well, but it doesn't hurt to keep it out of the elements when you can!

I see no issue with keeping them outside in the elements of the summer. I store mine in the garage after using them though.

I don't think I would leave it outside. I am not sure how the inside tread area would hold up as it feels like a sandpaper type material plus the weather might eventually make the plastic brittle.

I wouldn't leave it outside. We bought this for my grandson (who loves it by the way) & while it does get used outside on nice days, it's not left outside due to the fact that the material its made from is not really conducive to the outdoor elements.

The frame can be left up, but I would take down the cover for the winter or if you are expecting a storm with high winds.

Yes you can! :) but better leave it indoor so it last longer, I think! Or you cover it well after use.

No. I wouldn't leave it outdoors. It's a nice piece for indoors, solid maple, nicely constructed.
