Will these shelves go outside on a patio in spring to fall to hold Bonsai?

No...not good for Bonsai... unless you are talking a 3 inch pot. Although the shelve is sturdy, any slight wobble and down goes your bonsai. I would use a table or something with a more solid footing.

Sure, they would work well for that. They're plastic coated so they should hold up well.

I am not sure they are sturdy enough to withstand outdoor weather conditions.

I have the trellis next to a fence about 12 inches away with a bougainvillea growing next to the trellis. I don't even have the supports installed and it has held up well.The one caveat I would say is I'm in Florida and haven't encountered any bad weather since installing the trellis.I do think it would hold if the supports are installed.I hope this helps.

That is what I use it for. I have the bottom shelf set to accommodate a small stainless steel bar refrigerator and BBQ supplies. At this time my patio cover is not weather proof so I do cover it when I know it is going to rain. During an unexpected summer rain storm it got very wet with no ill effects. I just wiped it dry. I clean it occasionally with stainless steel cleaner and a soft cloth.

Yes. There is a hook in the middle that will support an outdoor wrought iron fixture, although I would be careful of the weight.

The correct answer is an emphatic NO! These are deciduous trees, and as such live outdoors. They are not houseplants. The lose their leaves during the Fall after turning from green to orange. During the Winter, when they are in dormancy, they do not need light, so one can store them in the garage, but should water them at least every 2 weeks ( just like Plumeria). Like most bonsai plants, they can stand being brought in for short periods of time (2-3 days) for company to see and enjoy.

Mine went on a deck , so I used some screws to secure it, but I also used some large potted plants on the four corner shelves and that really helped too. I am sure if you did this and then put something on the bottom of the four corner areas that you could put some heavy potted plants on.... you would be all set. Hope this helps

I'm only using it for display, lined up on a high shelf in my bookcase. So, durability hasn't been an issue. However, the pots are clay, so I wouldn't expect them to hold up outside in a breeze, if they were to hit something.

The shelving units are intended primarily for indoor use and we have not conducted any extended outdoors testing to see how the materials would hold up in direct weather. I'm pretty confident that they would work well in a covered deck or porch area though. The acrylic shelves are UV resistant and do not yellow, the angle bar is aluminum and the shelf supports are nickel plated brass. Jim Baggett, owner Beautiful Views beautifulviews.net 864-507-0182

Ours is being used on our deck.buying still would protect it from the weather.

I guess I would say yes. My patio furniture didn't fade while underneath it during the fall and winter in western PA

Hi Colleen, I would think there would be no problem. I have my plant stand outside on my porch with clay pots holding pansies. Part of the reason I bought this stand is because it's so sturdy. There's a local nursery where I live called Calloways. They carry the same planter, so I had the advantage of being able to see it before I purchased it. They had is displayed with clay pots holding seasonal plants. That's how I knew it would hold my pots. The bottom shelve is 12 inches in diameter. I was very pleased with the stand. And, purchasing it through Amazon rather than Calloways saved me money.

Yes to both questions. I bought this last year to go on my deck. It is out of the sun and doesn't get very wet when it rains. I did put a couple coats of Rustoleum clear paint on the shelf and the baskets before putting it outside and brought it inside over the winter. It's still in really good shape. I did repaint the stand with black Rustoleum before putting it out this year, because it was a little faded.

Easy assemble..pop in shelves, you may have to bend prongs slightly for a good fit. My grandson did it for me. I would not use it outside unless it was protected from the elements. The sun/rain can do a lot of damage, this wasn't cheap, I'd say "not for outdoor unless you can afford to replace it in a few years"

I KEEP mine outside but under a covered porch...the finish on them is minimal so if I were you I would put a coat of polyurethane on them. The wood seems solid enough to put outdoors.

For the price I wouldn't hesitate to place these outside. The units are sealed and placed upside down, and the ant response was immediate. however, I did not place them outside. Good luck

No, I think if they got even a little wet they'd be slippery. And walking on them probably would crack them after some time. They are made for wire shelving.

As long as they are kept in shade that shouldn't be a problem. At least the one on our back shaded porch did really well this past summer.
