Will the steel frame be okay with the rain ? Thanks.

Those benches are wonderful. Rain, snow - nothing changes their appearance.

Absolutely fine. Ours have been in open outdoors all year and are still great.

The steel is coated, and may also be galvanized, to protect against rust. I've had two of these outside for over a year now (in Michigan) and they still look great. I had a stained wood picnic table before these and it was trashed after a year. I'm very happy with the quality of these steel & composite tables.

Our bench stays outdoors and have not had any problems with the steel frame, we love our bench!

The only issue I've had is rain rusting the hardware. Best to put it under a cover of some sort.

I have this under a covered porch, it has a thick finish but It is made in China so I don't know how well it would hold up to daily rain. It is a very well built swing, and as for what to use for a frame in your back yard, I would suggest a 4x4 frame.

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

Only if it is in an enclosed area, I don't think it will stand up to exposure to weather, the shelves are a light weight wood and while the metal frame is nice, it probably would not do well if exposed to the outdoors.

Have had mine for a year, with all the weather conditions and rain, still not a problem. They are also sturdy, some are very flimsy and do not move smoothly on the deck.

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.

Hi, I checked with my son, whom I bought this for. He has ridden in the rain and had no problems with it. He parks his bike indoors. We live in IL, so it isn't as rainy as in Seattle. I hope this helps.

It works well in the rain as long as you use the provided ropes to tie down the rain cover. If you dont, water will collect between the frame and rain cover and could cause a problem

I have not had any issues with water getting in from the weather. I did build a nice frame to keep it from sitting directly in the ground.

All you will get is a frame. Also some of the tack welds may be broken or improperly placed. Get some steel puddly to fix and you will be right as rain!

Not very. It dripped from the seams even in a slight drizzle. It was destroyed after three months from one modest storm ...frame bent, top shredded. Company says...no warranty if you leave it up. Just for use by the day...and not for rain. Big mistake to purchase!

Its probably fine if it went on a dry surface before the rain came, its pretty strong.

Mine has seen a lot of rain and seems to be holding up fine. It looks like it is powder coated and well made.

Hello I live in Philadelphia Pa and we just recently had a really bad rainstorm nothing like Florida weather just tail end of hurricane Arthur a lot of branches fell and the frame still held up really really well. It's just in dirt with the spikes that with it and no problem

We have ours out exposed to the weather and have not had any issues with it. So I would say yes!

The frame will be fine, mine has been up since I bought it. However the cover will not hold up well to heavy snow, strong winds, or extended weather. If you plan to leave the cover on year round be sure to securely fasten the frame to the ground and expect to replace the cover the after a couple years.
