Has anyone used this outside? I am a little hesitant to use it out doors, mainly because I don't want a stick or rock to pop it.

Ours in on a back deck and stays out in the weather and 3 months later is still in good shape and fully inflated.

I used mine outside just laid a thick tarp down under it and it worked perfectly! :)

So we use it outside all the time. It is very durable. I have 4 wild kids and they are as rough as can be and it is held up well. It is made from the same material as the industrial size ones. We have had since Christmas with no issues and this is the third bouncy I have attempted with them. Worth the money...

Yes, definitely can use outside. The only risk is going down any slope, there are no brakes, so flat areas are best. My kids love it, and well built, had it for over a year now.

As in, is this rated for outdoor use? Not sure. I don't think I'd put mine outside...

I have had it now for quite some time up at a campground set up permanently. I do not keep my eye on it continuously but feel like it would be okay unless it can build up of snow, ice and more snow and ice. It has not happened yet.

Not to my knowledge. I am sure it is not sealed to be used outdoors, unless it were in a very protected location. Also, it's wood, and that would probably, unless rigidly maintained, not do too well outside either.

We have used it a little outside. When we did it was fine. Word of advice do not let them stand on it.

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.

I have used it externally and have seen others use it that way also--but that is not to say it was intended to be. Outside the insulation will eventually deteriorate and crack due to weather and sunshine but that will take a while. Best wishes!

Did you end up using this for the playground ? I am considering this item or similar to put under an outdoor play area in my house for my kids. Any other recommendation ?

Can it be used outdoors? Yes. Is it wise or likely to end well? No, no it's not. :)

I think the blower is definitely noticeable. As far as leaving it outside, that should be OK too because they send stakes with it but I bet it would shorten it's lifespan (rain rot/sun rot causing it to tear faster) out in the weather.

I think it would be great for outdoor use as long as it is sheltered by the rain. Otherwise, its pretty heavy...won't fly away in the wind. I use it on the inside of my slider, it works awesome!

So far I've only used mine outside. You might get some grass stuck in there but it's not a big deal.

I use it indoors, but I wouldn't object to using it outdoors. Like another user said, bringing it to the beach seems like a great idea!

I think it would be best not to leave it outside. Rain and wind would probably damage it. It seems very delicate.

It wouldn't work outdoors. Its actually made of particle board, sort of IKEA like. I like it, but not sure everyone else would.

I would be afraid of puncturing it on something. Stick to the smooth water surface. I don't even suggest you let little kids play on it in the grass or sandy beach. Keep it in the water. Just my opinion
