Can I leave this outside??

Well, once you own it, you can do anything you want with it. But considering that it is a pressed paper (cardboard) tube, it wouldn't be prudent to leave it exposed to the elements.

You can if you had something to completely shield it from the elements, but I wouldn't.

No. This would not last outside. The top is wood and the metal is not sturdy enough for out side.

I've only used it indoor. Not really sure if u can leave it outdoor. It's made of aluminium. So may not rust easily.

There are electrical connections required to heat the water, but if you insulate them sufficiently against any moisture, there's no reason why you can't leave it outside. Caveat: the sun may cause the plastic to discolor and break down sooner than if the unit is stored indoors.

This item is not specifically intended to be kept outdoors. It may show signs of weathering over time.

We had no problem with leaving it outdoors, just like our swing set and it didn't set to sustain any permanent damage. It does wear a ring in the grass where the roller goes around. We did move it into the garage for the winter months when we get snow.

I have left it outside in the summer with a plastic cover over it, but it folds up nicely and I hang it in my garage for the winter, I suppose it could be left outside during the winter if you covered it with a plastic grill cover.

I keep mine inside however, being that it is painted and not exposed metal I would think that it would be fine outside. The only issue I foresee is maybe the rubber drying out over time but you could always tape it up if that happens. I wouldn't worry about keeping it outside.

You can leave it on, but you end up with 3 sides blocked from the sun or breeze. I have used it that way.

You can, but I would prefer to keep it inside. It is painted and colorful. If you leave it outdoors, it will fade and won't look as nice. Maybe if you can paint over it with a clear seal coat, then it would probably do well outside!!

Yes you can use it outside since its make of heavy plastic but I would be concerned with the bike!!

Try not to leave it out there when it is raining but if in case it does get wet, just leave it out until it dries before putting it away.

Hey Brad, yes it's perfectly safe to leave outside in all weathers, ours has been on the pole under an umbrella now for a long time & works like it did from day one.

I am not sure why they state that. I place mine on edge of deck which is within 25 feet of human activity without any problems. I think outside of a garage would be fine. Just remember not too close as it attracts bugs. They have an 800 number which I called to see if it could be left out in the rain (yes). Youjust can't leave it out all year as the cold will damage it. Let me know if you want the 800 number. Kat

I would not leave it outside for extended periods. The one I have works great indoors and has taken a lot of punishment with no sign of wear.

Yes you can! :) but better leave it indoor so it last longer, I think! Or you cover it well after use.

It would be fine being outside as long as it's under a patio or something that will save it from getting wet.. The the picture comes on a wood canvas so a lot of moisture I believe will ruin the wood. I have this piece in my dining room it's absolutely beautiful..
