Can this be used outside?

Yes. I use mine exclusively outside, though it's on my deck, under cover of the eaves. It could safely get wet, though. You'd just have to dry off the two platforms and the floor before putting pets back in there again. The cage itself is stainless steel.

also, you would need to provide shade if being used outside in warm weather on a very temporary basis. It is normally meant for indoor use.

Cage construction would be fine outside - plastic and metal. The problem would be water would collect in the platforms and bottom pan. Some shelter would be necessary for protection from extreme heat and the elements (rain). Ours is used exclusively inside to separate 1 outside (not declawed) cat from our indoor (declawed) cats. We added a 5 foot extension to allow our outside cat more exercise room when he is inside. Serves our needs well!

In a warm climate it can be but, I definitely wouldn't in cool or cold weather. Hope that this helps.

The directions say to keep it out of direct sunlight and given that it's metal and would therefore heat up outside, I'm going to say that I wouldn't advise it. Plus, it's not really meant for the outdoors, I don't think. While it's perfectly sturdy for indoor use, I wouldn't want to expose it to the elements.

Yes subject to moderate climate and the cage being kept in a safe location where wild animals cannot get to it. The pieces are designed to be flexible (3 pieces when assemble) so its is not strong enough to withstand a coyote or perhaps even a raccoon.

I have rolled mine onto a screened-in porch with outside access and removed the doors for the original two kittens, and now four new kittens to use. They like playing in and out of it and find it a safe place to go to. Since there is no covering, it would not, in my opinion, be an option for outdoor or yard use with doors closed. It is not made to be weather proof.

Since it's metal and plastic, I would assume it could. Rain would collect in the platforms though.

Certainly but if it is hot it will need shade and if it is raining it will need a roof. It is very sturdy. The holes are large enough to allow a smallish kitten to escape.

We only used this indoors but I do not see why you could not use it out doors. I would check with the manufacture if you have any questions.

It is for outdoor use only. I would not use it inside for any reason. Works great outside. Hope this helps.

I suspect that one could use it outside BUT would highly recommend that the bench be given a coat or two of a sealer to protect the wood from the elements. I use my bench at the foot of the bed so have no experience about it lasting when using outside.

I have not tried using it outside. But as a precaution, make sure it is under a bit of shelter. Just so it won't to fry the "Jetson" thingy

It is electronic, so I wouldn't put it outdoors. However, please read all of the comments here: it doesn't work!! Don't buy it!

I have not personally used it outside, but this is designed for indoor use. I am sure you could set it up outside and then take it back inside, but it is by no means rugged.

Yes it can be used, inside and outside. I have mine now out (patio deck) just make sure when it rains you may cover it with its lid otherwise you can leave it open and ready to be used by your pet. Hope this helps.

I do not think this is for use outdoors--I believe is is for indoor use only but you could check with the manufacturer.

Yes, it could be used outdoors. It would deteriorate quickly because it is not designed to be weatherproof. I do not think you would be happy with the heat output because you would lose the combustion gases which have most if the heat. I would look for a radiant heater for this application.

No, I can't see it being for outside use. The wooden parts aren't treated. We use it at the bottom of our stairs to the second floor so our grandchild can't climb up unattended.

It can be used outdoors. But it isn't made of tent material. I was really pleased with this purchase. My three year old great nephew loves 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.

It is not intended for outside use although it is rated for humidity 20-80% and thus might be able to be used in a covered porch for example. The strict answer is no though.

It can be used outside. But it's not as visible than when you use it indoors

Yes. It can be used outside. It is small and you may want to consider a larger unit. If you do fly outside, please would watch out for: 1) Wind and 2) Range as you may fly out of good signal strength and not be able to control it.

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