How thick is the plastic used in this? how resistant to damage is it? how resistant to weather is it?

The plastic is 1/8 inch thick; the lid is a double layer composit structure, which is sturdy enough to stand on. I have the box bolted down to a bracket on the back bumper of my travel trailer. It carries about 100 pounds of equipment and shows no sign on fatigue after about 5000 miles on the road. Even when driving in very heavy rain, the interior of the box has remained dry.

I bought this as a gift for someone. She has loved it and it has a lot of room. As of right now it made it through the winter with no damage and remained dry. We just had some big rains and it is still dry as well. We have not really had it that long, so I cannot speak to durability.

A very durable heavy duty plastic. It has held up on my beachfront patio for the last 8 months and looks great still.

It's coated with plastic, as long as you are within the weight rating, it should hold up fine. I would suggest sealing the ends for outdoor use

thick plastic, I'd rate it a C, average, the loops would slip out of the board. My kids only used it 1 winter.

I gave this to my son as a gift. He loves it and doesn't have any problems with it. Sorry I can't answer how resistant it is but he seems to not have issues. He uses a liner with it

Very thin sheet of plastic. Probably the thickness of about 5 sheets of paper. It is cut resistant. You can roll it up for storage. Perfect for my needs.

Good question, but I'm not the one to ask unfortunately. I purchased it in the fall and it been freezing and cold here in the N.E. Based on its construction, which is fairly heavy duty plastic of a honeycomb type nature (its not solid plastic but has cavities between the inner and out layers) I would imagine it would hold up well.

It is resistant. As I understand it is made of vinyl. So it doesn't absorb water at all. No papaer inside,only plastic.

I've been very happy with the durability of it. Dropped a few times and has not broke at all. Its pretty thick plastic, not thin at all.

Resistant, absolutely. I've spent many rides in the rain with this decide. I would not recommend submerging it in water for any reason, however. It is not waterproof.

Plastic so the weather will not matter if outside.. I hung it out in rain with no problem. Has a grommet on each corner so you can tie or nail it in place

It is a hard polymer plastic with some kind of aluminum. It will stand regular environmental rain. If you are asking of durability, this would only be good for the range. After all it is only a UTG.

I would not mount this kit outdoors. Certainly not expect it to hold up in severe weather.Contrary to C. Schafer's response, however, this kit DOES have a seal around the door. The box is all plastic though, so with 2 hinges and 1 latch, a good seal would not be made. Judging by the design, I would say this kit was designed to be weather 'resistant', not weather 'proof'. I can personally vouch that it can be left out in a light to moderate rainfall and survive it just fine, maybe a couple small areas that a drop or two made it through.On a side note, if the mounting outside isn't a deal breaker for you, this is a very nice kit for the price!

My experience with this dome, it works very well for me have used it for 2 seasons . Not a hard plastic but a some what flexable plastic , if you push on it with a finger it will give a bit but retains it's shape . I could see if a person was too rough with it , it could damage the dome , with my dome I haven't had any durability issues .

It seems to be made from a material that would be water resistant, but I have never tested it. It is not particularly heavy duty though.

It is a durable plastic. Very sturdy construction. My unit has been outside for a month and looks brand new.

It is made out of a heavy canvas so I think it is weather resistant. There are metal pieces that are used to hang the swing and I'm not too sure if they are weather resistant. It might rust and the fabric might get mildew if exposed to harsh weather.
