How durable is this? I need something that I can leave out in the woods for several weeks.

I had it test last year. Good material, strong bones. Maybe too durable that you may feel it a bit heavy. Very good quality product. Love it! Highly recommend it.

I leave my blind in the woods for two months every year during Oct and Nov in Michigan. No problems.

It is very durable, I have left mine out in the woods for a few months on end during hunting season and never had any issues!!

I leave mine out for the month-long muzzle loader season in December without problems. If you are leaving it out and you get a bunch of snow, I've had the roof collapse, but after cleaning it off and pushing it back up it was fine.

I'vd had mine for about a season and a half and it stays out there for a while. Last year it was out from nov-jan and still looks great.

Mine has held up pretty well. It doesnt get used everyday but pretty often. Only complaints are its made of pine not a hardwood so it dents/scratches fairly easily but I would buy it again.

It is very durable. I have used this every single day for months and it still looks brand new. And no I am not gentle with it either. I getsvput on he floor thrown into the trunk.... I had the old version of this backpackers and it lasted me two years. This one is made a little heavier so I expect that it will last longer. It is the best backpackers I have had.

It is durable for hunting. Depends on if "playing" is more stress on the material than hunting. My experience is that you can run in it. running through brush is not desirable. The yarn material will hang up on vegetation and tear off. The snaps and stitching are holding up well.

Our son purchased this and took it to his cabin in the woods... I have never used it and he will not be back for 2 weeks. Sorry - Sue

The material seems durable, but in my opinion, many air beds (this included) will eventually fail depending upon length of use. Ours failed after a few months of daily indoor use. It may be OK for occasional camping.

From my experience, it's not nearly durable enough. Mine held up to 3 weeks of casual backyard use before one of the fiberglass "tension poles" cracked. I coached a U12 team last spring & I wouldn't give it 10 minutes under those conditions. But...YMMV, etc.

It won't rip. I've had mine for about 5 years and use it once a week or so. I've used it rappelling, climbing, hiking, camping and biking. Mine has been used very hard and has only had minor damage. The ripstop material is smooth and semi glossy, so it slides off rocks quite well. After 5 years of abuse, mine only has pinholes that reduce it from water*proof* to water*resistant*. The drink pockets are made of a whimpy mesh that gets caught on tree branches, but they're reinforced by the same ripstop as the body, so they're still functional. I've carried upwards of 60 lbs on many many occasions and the straps have only needed minor sewing to keep them at 100%. If you like, I can send you photos of my bag showing you the wear.

Yes very durable I been dropping my clubs into the bag two or three time a week with the tags on them for about six months now with out any problem.

Eventually it will wear down - it's not invincible. But they do last for months... especially if you get a really large one.

Owned for six months and still working. Has been outdoors through rain and shine. So yes, I would say durable.

I was actually surprised with the durability of this plastic. It withstands the wind well as long as there are no sagging parts or loose ends for the wind to grab. However it does not withstand weather during the winter in colder places, mine became brittle under freezing conditions but i think it would work fine long term in a tropical environment, hope this helps.

Absolutely! We have had ours for 7 years, through 4 kids. We used it daily for the first year and less as the years went on. Now a days we use it a couple times a year for a few days at a time. It has held up remarkably. It is made of a thin tent like material and is pretty durable, though the seems tend to go, if pulled on forcefully by kids (and that happens often). I think it should hold up well outside, as long as it isn't left out for days in harsh weather. It is very light, however, so it may blow away if kids aren't in it or staked down.

I have left mine out for some time... This is a very substantial stand... I think it could handle anything you put it through... That said, everything lasts longer if you take good care of it, but I am not afraid of the weather on the stand... It is easy to assemble and take apart should you choose to... It is very heavy when it is assembled and will take two people to move it, but one person can put it together or take it apart... Merry Christmas

I bought it for an outdoor couch. It lasted thru a few rain storms, but I left it out one too many times? It might work if I change the battery? Dry that out? It's made of water resistant nylon. Maybe if you cover the battery compartment with something water proof? But the rest of it is waterproof. Worth the money.

It will last for two 3 to 4 day camping trips where I use it on and off during the day.

I have had mine for a couple of years now, love it and I drag it all over the yard, you can beat it to death and it will hold up fine.
