Is it powder coated to resist fading/weathering? Is the net weather proof made?

I don't recall seeing anything about powder coating and I'm not quite sure how to tell. I live in a fairly cool area with lots of rain, and over the last year it's held up well. The dunk-spring-bolt thing has some rust on it, but everything else is good...except for the net...mine wore quickly. It didn't even last 6 months. There is another thing about the net, it appears to be a special size so that it's proportionate to the smaller backboard. If (when) you replace the net, if you just pick one up from the sports store or retailer, it looks huge on the smaller size backboard...not that it really impacts anything but something to be aware of.

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

The description clearly states "weather resistant" that means NO it is not water proof....just resistant to a little rain, snow and sun.....might want to use some of the weather proofing spray like they use on tents or Armorall....

It is a canvas material. I would not consider it weather resistant. Maybe you could scotch guard it.

Adirondack chairs are typically made to be weather resistant, but I'm not taking a chance with this one. Even though the Amazon description says it is made out of eucalyptus (a good wood for outdoor use), there was no packing info verifying this claim. I also question all-white anything outdoors--it doesn't take much to start looking dirty. This chair does come in a brown stain, which might camouflage dirt better and a stain may hold up better outdoors than white paint. Another reviewer who bought the brown chair had this to say, "Left untreated, eucalyptus will weather when exposed to the elements, turning a soft shade of silver/gray similar to the weathering of teak. In addition, when untreated, natural splitting or cracks will appear, but this will not affect the durability of the furniture. To guard against this weathering process and to maintain a desired look, apply coats of a hardwood oil. The frequency of necessary oil applications depends on the intensity of the outdoor elements. The furniture has already been oiled prior to packing, and it is recommended that an oil treatment be repeated at least once a year. Giving the furniture an extra treatment before exposing to rain will prolong the "new" look and ensure a longer life."

It's made of weather-resistant canvas. I've never left it out while it's raining, because it's usually too windy then. They say you can Scotchguard it, too, but I didn't do that.

Not sure if it is weatherproof or not but it is nicely painted in black and the foam on the handles doesn't absorb. But I know the foam will degrade faster under the weather although you can always replace it

I think it is powdered coated aluminum. It is very light but sturdy. I never leave it out in the elements when it's not being used and it shows no signs of wear. I have had mine for a little over 2 yrs and I really like it. Now that it's winter I actually miss hanging out laundry. :)

Yes it has been weather proof and keeps dry inside. I have had it for 3 or 4 years now and it sits outside on a deck all year around. The only change has been that the blue top has faded due to direct sign, rain, heat and cold but other then that, it has provided great service.

Dear Judy R., Thank you for your question. We utilize 100% Polyester in all of our Pro Series netting. It is not affected by sun, rain, etc. This is also the case with our aluminum frame. The one thing that you will need to protect from the sun is the nylon sleeve. With extended periods of exposure to direct sunlight the sleeve will fade in color. To prevent this and protect the Nylon sleeve you can utilize a UV Spray (just on the sleeve) to protect it from color fade. You can learn more on our website. Hope that helps... All the best, Paul / The Net Return, LLC.

No. This is not weather resistant. This is porous and will hold water. Also, if you simply hang it on a fence noise will travel over and around it.

The box says "Weather Resistant". Resistant is better than "Proof". Looks like it can get rained on without issue. I have it on my Busa, but it's under the windscreen and stays dry, but it would be fine in any case except for immersion (the battery compartment is probably the weakest spot in terms of water penetration, or at least it would appear to be so.

no, Its coated, And it works great. My wife and I use it at least once a week, we love it :)

It does not resist weather. It does in fact absorb water but I average 2 to 3 years of use from mine and leave it out all year.

This is constructed of steel. Most of it is powder coated, however some will be exposed steel, which overtime will rust. Salt water would be issue over a period of time.

Well we don't really have snow where I am but we do leave it out in the weather, hot and cold, rain etc and there are no real problems. The frame is a strong PVC like they use in industrial pipes and the net is a well made nylon material. We have had it outside now for about 9 months and there are no signs of any wear. When the net does start to wear, you can buy replacement ones.

this is made out of synthetic fabric of relatively good construction that should withstand reasonable outdoor conditions. however, subjecting it to excessive winds, or wet freezing conditions will tear it apart just like everything else left outside. I would caution you that this type of fabric is not resistant to fading.
