Amazon description says "outdoor use in a covered area", but sheet that comes with it states INDOOR ONLY. Can it be used in an outdoor run with roof?

That's how I used it- it was fine. Just make sure you are using an outdoor extension cord or plugged into a GFCI outdoor outlet. (I'm not en electrician, just stating my experience).

I've had mine for over a year and use it in an outdoor coop with no problems at all to report. The only care I give it is to keep the electrical plug off the ground. Hope this helps!

I'm not the expert, but I bet it could! That would keep it largely out of the rain. I'd see if you can contact the manufacturer. I'm no electrician.

I don't see why not with proper cover and good outdoor extension cord. Mine is in the hen house but I have spilled water on it several times, it continues to work great!

I'm not sure that the heating element would be adequate for out door use in your area. I use mine in the chicken house, elevated from the litter on the floor. It remains warmer in the house and I have never had frozen water since I started using it.

Indoor only; it is NOT waterproof at all!!if you want to use it outside you must put it in a weathertight enclosure

I suppose you could use it outdoors, but I believe that is it meant for indoor use only. It would be your call as to whether you want to take your chances.

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.

i currently use mine outdoors on my concrete covered patio. I it would need to be on a hard surface indoor or out. If outside a good wind will kick up the mat along with the ball return unless you use doublesided tape to keep it down. The mat also get debris stuck to it outside in the wind but a broom can take care of any stuck leaves/etc. hope this helps

i would imagine in a covered/protected area it would be fine. You might try calling the manufacturer...

I would not use it exposed to the elements (ie rain). We used it in our shed which is a damp environment and it did fine, but if using outdoors I think I would have it in some kind on sheltered area.

Negative it is not designed for outdoor use! Unless you enclose it somehow so the weather can't get to it! Hope it helps!

No this is not meant to be for outside. You would need a hard covered shelter. Amazon does carry these also. This would not stand up to any continual elements (snow/rain/sleet) on a daily-long term basis.

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.

It is designed for indoor use. Producet description does not discuss using it outside either on the amazon written description or the packages written description.

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.

I think the instruction say indoor use only. It would probably be ok to use outdoors if, for example, the outdoor use was for a short time, the weather was clear and you take care to bring it back indoors at the end of the evening, but I don't think it's intended to be left outdoors or subjected to moisture in the air.

Sorry but I haven't used it outside. I use it on a carpet floor and he lays on it all the time. I read somewhere that it can be used outside but to keep it out of the sun.

It is officially rated for indoor use but if you kept it out of the weather (dry) I don't see why you could not use it outdoors.
