I am looking for something to put on my patio. Will it absorb water and mildew??

I only use mine indoors beneath my treadmill, so I cannot honestly answer that question. Sorry.

I'm not an expert on it but I think cypress just resist rot much better the most. I put Thompson sealer on mine and it soaked it right up. So it will absorb water.

Yes but it mildewed outside within a season and constantly falls apart at the structure seams. I even had it under a porch and this thing got nasty.

Sterilite Cabinet is absolutely Water Resistant - made of a heavy gauge Polymer material. Would work well for storage outside on your patio.

It will work to do away with mildew, etc. I am sure it must have some cleaners in it to clean surfaces and I guess the only way to find out if it will meet your needs is to try a patch. This product cleaned surfaces for me (grout included) after many other products failed. Good luck.

I use mine in a covered patio outside so it is not exposed to the elements. Be waterproof but they do work pretty good they function very well very happy with mine

No, it is only good for shade. It is similar to a mesh and will allow rain to drip through. We use it for roof material on outdoor patio to shade.

I think it would work well. I would just check periodically for mold and mildew.

I have mind on a covered patio, I also sealed it with water seal and it seems to be doing great.

I have the same situation with a flower garden surrounding my patio and have used the product for several years running with no harm done whatsoever! I believe the company addresses this very issue on their website. I just love this product and I know you will too!!! That being said, I wait until the garden needs watering and then I use the product exactly as directed. After I'm through I do water the garden to dilute the product but I really don't think it's necessary.

Absolutely not. It is self stick vinyl. Would not hold in water, AND since it is vinyl it would most definitely mildew.

Yes mine is waterproof, but not mildew proof. I am satisfied with this product. Thx Steven

I think if you have a level surface and you line it first so the liner goes up the sides and use a soil that will absorb the water, it would be fine. Garden soil usually has absorbing beads in it. I placed mine on the grass and lined it with weed liner and it worked great. Once you have all the soil in it, it is very stable and the plants are beautiful.

It does look like it has a sealant coat on top, but we have it on our covered patio anyway. Sun and rain can kill anything :)

I use my everyday during Cross Country season and the only time i ever encountered mildew was when i left just a little watter on the bottom, completely sealed, and left it there for a little under a week. So, Yes, it does mildew.. but not easily. Just clean it and you'll be good

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

Not sure on mildew, but most definitely NOT fade resistant, I live in SC and keep the hammock outside maybe half the time....not nearly the color it was new...but there is no mildew smell or staining and it has been out through several storms
