Im thinking about installing one of these outside for a shower risen off after a dip in the pool. Would it hold up being outside?

By design, I wouldn't suggest this in a shower. Just outside the shower shouldn't be a problem, but it needs to be secured by tension from floor to ceiling and I fear it might crack your tub/shower with continued pressure. Plus, as you mentioned, it is metal so it will likely rust due to a few holes where residual water will enter and collect. Hope this helps.

I saw a demo of someone dropping it in a bucket of water and leaving it in there for a few minuets and it still workedA shower should be no problem

I would not recommend it in the shower, however if it's definitely necessary please put the unit in a zip lock bag and be very careful not to submerge in the water!

Quite well. In fact I've had mine outside for the last couple years now - through "polar vortex" and mid summer heat and it's held up extremely well. Quite sturdy.

Sure! I live bythe water. Mine has been exposed to wind and rain and it still works fine. Make sure the unit is well seal to the house though.

No I would not keep this outside, I would use some type of Rubber Maid or pool or deck bench as those are made for damp, wet weather

It is not water proof nor is it meant necessarily for outside use... I have not used it outside. I also feel the dirt and dust that could get into it would be a problem. It would work outside, if you have a place to plug it in, I just don't think it will last outside. Also I'm just a consumer so...

I bought this item last year and its been outside in the elements on the side of my pool. No problems yet. Still looks brand new

I believe so. I'm not certain if it would rust over time, but it should hold up well in the shower.

I keep this inside. I wouldn't hesitate to use it outdoors. It is pretty well made so I think it would withstand rain showers. I don't think it would easily rust under those circumstances. I don't know what you mean by constant water.I've had it for a while and the finish looks great. I do toss it into the drawer under my washing machine, so it's gotten knocked around a bit. I'd buy another, but I don't have to replace this one yet. I hope this is helpful.

I probably wouldn't try it outside. Fear of possible rusting. Go for some of the PVC versions, or plastic.

It looks and feels very sturdy. I would use it outside if I had a swimming pool. The chrome seems to be able to withstand the elements. Maybe you'll need to replace it in 5 years.

I can't answer regarding how the components weather, but everything is brass and chrome-looking plastic which I think would hold up reasonably well. Mine is indoors and I don't have any issues. If it's in the salt-air and direct sun, I imagine the plastic could weather, but this is probably true of all manufacturers. I have owned a ton of Hansgrohe over the years and I personally wouldn't hesitate to install this, or any of their stuff for that matter, outside if I had the need. Hansgrohe is solid and dependable.

I think it would be great for outdoor use as long as it is sheltered by the rain. Otherwise, its pretty heavy...won't fly away in the wind. I use it on the inside of my slider, it works awesome!

I wouldn't recommend it. I imagine you could have it outside the shower, however I wouldn't risk getting it wet.

It's a very nice looking screen but it only hold up well if not bumped and is in a wavy position to create curves to stand up. So I'd think it would be a bit flimsy for use as a shower screen. As far as weather, I do think it might fade and get worn from sun. It would definitely not hold up to any gusts of wind unless supported somehow. My personal opinion is that it is definitely best for indoor use. You may need to ask the company regarding any outdoor application. Hope that is helpful.
