For those using it outside for extended periods of time, does it hold up well to the elements? I'm thinking of using it in lieu of a privacy fence.

Yes, I was thinking of as same as you(I didn't want to see my neighbor<mean family>I bought it, but I don't using it, insterd I planted a shrubs. A human relations are difficult...Good luck!

We have used it for extended periods of time and it has held up well. I would take it down in the winter months , or if your expecting high winds.

we have had it up for a couple weeks at a time, and held up well. Had gusty thunderstorms during that time. I don't know how it would do over a longer period.

I would not leave it outside for extended periods. The one I have works great indoors and has taken a lot of punishment with no sign of wear.

Yes, it will last well outside. Remember that you have to attach it to the floor, or some other surface to hold it down in use.

I live in the NW- By Seattle,WA. We get high winds mostly spring and fall-winter. So far, My screen fence has withstood the current high winds- Mine is Doubled up for extra privacy- facing West- to East secured on my side of the chain link. Mine billows like a sail and so far handles wind just fine- Single layer Vs wind ? should work fine. Some sunlight will show thru. kinda sparkles in late afternoon sun. Hope this helps- I've only had mine a month + D.Durham

I have had it for about a year on the roof of my pavilion outside. It's fully exposed to the weather and it went through a pretty rough Buffalo winter and still going strong if that helps :).

I would not consider it to be a product that is made to withstand the outdoor elements long-term. It's primary purpose is for indoor use.

It doesn't seem to be made for outdoor use. The wooden piece looks like it has vaneer and might not hold up to weather fluctuations and water/humidity. If you put a matte clear coat over all metal parts it might hold up fairly decent. The one part I would question holding up would be the wooden shelf. I'm enjoying the product. It is a good piece for the price.

I use it for outside. It's plastic, so weather won't affect it all that much, although it could crack from extreme heat or cold. Then again, any plastic will do the same thing. It seems well made, and holds a lot of weight, me.

I'm using mine outdoors on my patio's storage closet. My patio is covered but I'm sure it still sees some weather. I haven't noticed any trouble with mine in the last 4-5 months since I purchased and have been using it.

I leave it outside all summer. Has held up well. I took it in for the winter though.

I have had more be for a month outdoors in Colorado. It's holding up great..... I do have a cover, but haven't used it...

Yes it has sustained well outdoors. I have it setup underneath a covered patio and have had no issues. Also, as far as assembly... It's pretty much pre assembled. The sides fold out and the shelves slide into the unit and fit into place. Very quick setup

Yes, that is what its purpose is, outside access. That being said, I would try to put it out of the rain if I could, as well as the sun. Not that it won't handle it, but the plastic would last much longer if it were shaded and protected.

We have this mounted on our front porch. It is protected from direct rain and sun. It might rust eventually if you have it out in the elements but it works great for people to drop things off for us in a secure place when we are not home.

I don't know how it would hold up in heavy rain, but it's great shelter for mild/moderate rain. I live in Oregon, and mostly use it for a sun shade, but have also spent time out while raining.

Ive had it outside through the summer heat and rain in Ohio and it has held up fine. The true test would be winter, although I have this lock on a storage compartment on a landscape trailer that I only use in warmer weather.

Installing low on a fence could be subject to theft. I put mine up on the eaves of the roof. Range if around 20' to 25' most of the time. Battery life is good if getting full sunshine during day, would not last so long if in shade during the day. While plastic, it appears well built and moisture proof.
