Would this hold up to outdoor use and In high traffic area exposed to the sun, rain and snow?

Debbie so far so good. We have had ours on the back screened in porch and love it. Don't know how it would hold up to snow rain etc.

It could be used in a covered outdoor entryway. I would avoid exposure to sunlight and direct rain.

I would say yes. I didn't try it yet under heavy rain, but the fabric seems to be water resistant. However, the zippers might play a big role in this, by keeping it watertight.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

I have one, It's not meant to be used Outside. Certainly if you put it outside, it will work, but I wouldn't want to get it wet or leave it exposed to extreme weather. I don't see it being capable of withstanding the elements.

possibly in a sheltered area - not sure it would hold up to extreme weather

Yes, I believe it is sturdy enough to use outdoors. The all plastic design will be weatherproof. The sun might fade the black version. I am retired Army, and have high quality expectations. I looked at many much more costly racks, and this is a value for the money.

I have been using it outside, simply because it's so cheap. 1.5 years later it still works. When it was under a roof overhang, it never failed, ever! Since then I've moved it to a tree and it has been through rain, snow, and freezing rain. The only thing that stopped working is being able to pan up (down and left/right still work), but that might have happened from being dropped.

I have mine outside in the elements and it survived our Michigan winter with 50mph wind gusts and -20 temps. It will probably get me thru one more season. If you want a cover that lasts many seasons you will pay three times or more than what this cover costs.

I wouldn't leave it outside all the time but I think if it gets rained on once or twice it won't wreck it.

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.

Ours has been primarily outdoors as well and it seems to be holding up just fine. More than likely, though, you will end up needing to replace the rubber top more frequently if it gets a lot on direct sunlight.

I'm hoping it will last me for at least a few years. We have experienced a lot of rain and it is holding up just fine. I'm just worried about heavy wet snow.

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

I haven't used it outdoors but I'm sure it will hold up. It is heavy enough.

Mine has done well in rain and snow. bought a second one for the walkway. Both are hung on garden stakes so no protection from the elements.

I do not think it would be reliable for outside use. Sun would deteriorate the plastic material, and I doubt it would be water tight, so rain could get in.
