can I use it outside?

Yes, if the ground it's on is stable. Since it's wood I wouldn't recommend using it in inclement weather.

No, I would not leave it outdoors, but you could use it outdoors if there is NO chance of it getting wet.

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

Absolutely, if you use it outside. It's not delicate, but, it's not indestructable.

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

As Mr. Glover has discovered, you can indeed use this item outside, provided you are taking care to keep it at least somewhat protected from the elements! I hope this answer will assist you.

Yes it can be mounted outside. I have had 2 of them outside for almost 6 years

As far as the unit itself, no reason it can't be used outside. The legs are not very strong but depending on where in the U.S. you live, don't see a problem.

I could if you protect it from the weather. It is not waterproof and has a battery in it.

Depends, it is not sealed, made for indoor use, you can use it outside, as long as it's not raining or wet. Mine is attached to my roll-about garage workbench, I use it in the garage and the driveway.

Yes, but do remember that it is electric. You do not want it subjected to wet weather. The outside is a sturdy plastic so it should be fine outdoors.

Yes, it can be used outside. I only use it on the pavement or blacktop. As for Criss-Cross I dont know. I havent been able to get there yet, but I assume its possible.

You could use it out side, however, it is NOT insulated so therefore in the cold or heat you would need to do something different. Also the top does not fasten, it just sets on top. I would NOT recommend it for outside use

I doubt that it is rated for outdoor use. Perhaps in a weather-protected enclosure you could.

You can take it outside, but it cannot stay outside because it will damage the material. My daughter takes hers outside on pretty days for the neighborhood kids to join in and try to do skills on the beam.

It can be used outdoors as long as you protect it from direct exposure to rain, snow, etc. I have used one successfully outdoors mounted under the overhang on a house.

you could use it outdoors, but I wouldn't without some protection. See e.g. http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/cablingcat5/f/cat5outdoors.htm
