I am thinking of buying this to use on outside deck. Yard is long way off on stormy days. Do you think it will work outside?

My German shepherd didn't take to it...maybe when the snow comes, she'll learn to appreciate it?

Yes, this will absolutely work. Easy to wash. My only caution is the plastic tray can crack fairly easily. I have used mine indoors with pads. It allows me to work without doing doggie daycare.

Yep, it should be just fine outside. Very easy to rinse off with water hose too. Just hang to dry.

yes I use it on my balcony of my condo. I do use puppy pads under the turf and just rinse off the turf weekly. I have three little dogs and they love it. I would highly recommend this product.

it will work in most outdoor use. I live in a state with hot summers and mild winters - no problem. If your weather is like a car wash in the summer and a freezer in the winter it might be a problem . I would provide a little protection if possible and if really cold then some type of oil heater. Good luck.

It is fine to use outdoors. However, if you use an extension cord you will want to make certain it is appropriate for outdoor use.

I would definitely say yes. I installed mine on an exterior eave in the rain, and then it rained three more days - workes perfectly.

I suspect it's OK for temporary use for your application; though you would need to secure it to the deck properly with bolts. Otherwise, a strong wind will blow it away.

yes, it is great for outdoor weather..I live in Pa where it is very cold in winter and hot and humid in summer and rainy in spring...I purchased it for the rear of my yard for stray cats in the area.......its been outside for a year now and is still like new

I have not used it outside. Given the low price and free shipping, I'd give it a shot. You'd have to weight the legs or lay it down when not in use if you have wind. You MIGHT think about some silicone to squirt around the connections and beneath bolts as you tighten and then over them once it's done to prevent rain and splashes from getting in and rusting it right away. Also, it's light enough that you could pick it up and move it inside when not in use. Another thing, you could leave out the middle section and make it shorter for kids so they don't pull on a towel and pull it over. None of these things tested, just mentioning them as ideas.

Definitely!!!! I would not leave it out in bad weather just in case but mine works great outside!!!!!

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.

Sorry, but I would not purchase this for outdoor use unless it is protected by a covering of some sort. I left mine out in the open and it was damaged after it got wet from the rain.

No,it is not intended for outdoor use, however if it is placed where it will not be directly exposed to the elements, it should be fine. If you place it under a porch, gazebo, or similar protection, so that it isn't soaked by a rainfall, there should be no worries.

I wouldn't recommend for outdoor use unless it was a covered area. I don't think the wood could handle any rain and it's not heavy enough to stay standing in wind or even a strong breeze.

I used it on a deck in Hawaii that gets rain. Rain does not hurt the product and if you have no drainage issues I would think you will be fine.

It's not advertised as such, so it probably is not rated for outdoor use. That being said, I will add that the overall quality seems to be very good, and if the connection was suitably waterproofed (plastic and tape at least), I don't believe there would be a problem for short term usage. Since it wasn't designed or built for outdoor use (if it were, you can be sure it would say so!) there is no way to know how long or well it will stand up to extreme temperatures, UV rays, humidity, etc. If I had a reason to I would use mine outdoors, but I would expect it to fail at some point. To be honest, I didn't read the terms of the warranty, so I can't say whether it would be covered if used outside. But they're very reasonably priced, should you need to replace it! I've had excellent results with this company's products; because of that I say go for it!

This is definitely not weather resistant and would most likely cease to function or create risk of electrical fire if used out of doors. If left outside only during good weather it would probably be fine.

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.

NO! It is not strong enough to withstand weather. It is only for internal (inside buildings, houses, etc) use not for outdoor use.
