I live in the Mohave Desert and do not have grass in my yard, only sand. Would this mat hold up and not warp or melt in up to 120 degree weather?

I can't imagine this mat melting, but then again... I do not live in such high temperatures either! I would also think that you would need several of these mats to be large enough for an outdoor play area. Also, just so you know... I love this mat, but it is not designed to be picked up and moved around without coming a part.

In my opinion I think they would hold up in the weather but the matting gets dirty very easily. It shows every foot print or piece of dirt. Hope that helps.

We use this mat to stand on and walk on. It has held it's shape under heavy use in this capacity for several months. We do not put objects on it so do not know if it will hold up under the weight.

As long as the pad and cord is in good condition, I don't think there should be an issue. I have a plastic Kitty Tube house with foam insulation and bedding. The mat gets warm, but maintains a safe temperature. I highly recommend the mat, it was literally a lifesaver for the feral cat(s). Thinking about buying a second one this fall.

I think you may need to contact the manufacturer for the best answer. Based on the material, it seems like it would probably hold up well outdoors, but, then there is the issue with the mats fading, and becoming weather beaten. I am not sure if it is weatherproof and would do more research before purchasing. Hope this helps �

It's good for outdoor use, except that it collects debris. Easily shaken clean though. Great mat.

Not at all. It's actually very cool to the touch. We live in Arizona and we've used it in summer and cooler temps and it always is dry and cool to the touch. Perfect for beach or grass.

I would agree with Matthew. The whole thing is practically covered in a plastic material, so it is mostly impervious to water splash or drips. The largest concern would be where the power cord attaches to the mat. Do not know if age and localized rapid temperature cooling from water contact could cause the material to become brittle and crack over time.

I don't think it would melt- but it won't last long. We live in an area that gets 100 or more- and it hasn't melted, but I expect it to fade REALLY fast.

The are thick enough to have gone through the last two winters here in the northeast without any damage. There were days that the temperatures dipped to 5 degrees. They will not cause you to trip. I am a cancer survivor whose only side effect is neuropathy of the fit. I stumble and trip on flat ground at times, but I have never tripped on these mats, in fact they give me stability. I truly recommend these stair mats.

Our mat lays flat on very thick carpet and the edge is tapered. It is very thick and the edge does not curl so I don't think you should worry about tripping on this mat. With that being said be careful when transitioning from one type of flooring to another kind because no one wants to fall.

I'm not sure, however, I live in Nevada and it gets pretty hot in the Summer. I put mine under a tree and near the fence so it gets shade most of the day. It has been holding up pretty well, no warping yet.

It warps severely under normal usage, as long as you don't heat it, it should be fine, of course since it is a baking sheet that isn't a viable option

I live in NC where it is extremely hot & we have had absolutely no problem with the material breaking down. It's been in continual usage & looks just like it did when we first set it up. It is a very durable product.

I use my mat under an offset smoker On a natural wooden deck. Never had any issues with heat transference to the deck. The center of the mat is covered in a oil resistant carpet material. Concrete should be fine. However I would not leave it in place when not in use, the weathering will cause your concrete to discolor.

Hi Laura, This nonstick baking mat works with temperatures between -40º F to 480º F. Because the mat is nonstick, it is extremely easy to clean. Many times, you will find that simply wiping it down with a paper towel is sufficient. Otherwise, just wipe it down with a soapy sponge and rinse the mat with warm water.

Melony, I have used it outside at a dog show. However, the product was in the shade and in a crate with a plastic floor. It remained fairly cool for my dog. I would not recommend leaving the mat in the sun or on warm ground. Same goes for leaving the mat in a hot car. I use the mat in the car with the air conditioning on and remove it when the car is parked/in the garage. It's just too hot in the desert southwest for the mat to remain cool even in a garage. Hope this helps.
