Is this good for outdoor use? I want to use this for my mother who uses a walker. It it slippery when wet &amp; are the screws galvanized?

I am not sure if the screws are galvanized but so far there is no rusting. It also is relatively steady. I use it to help walk over a 6 inch elevated wall on my terrace that I can't remove, with one ramp on each side. There is a gritty paint layer on the walking surface which helps against slipping. You should be aware that the paint job on these is terrible. The yellow paint on the sides started peeling off soon after I got it and was not painted on properly. The black part was painted over the yellow side rails in spots. It looks like it was painted by someone who didn't give a damn about the quality of the work they were doing. I sent one back due to the black part having waves in it from poorly done brush strokes, and the new one was a little bit better but still not ideal. The reason I kept them was this was the only ramp I could find that was adjustable, relatively inexpensive, that would work for my particular situation. Despite the paint issues, they do work well, but if you order one you may need to send it back if the quality is not up to your standards.

It certainly is sturdy. I don't know if the sandpaper walking area is weatherproof. Could you email the manufacturer?

I agree with the two previous answers, but I would not use it outdoors if it will get rained on. I think the joints are just glued, and rain would almost certainly weaken them fatally.

I can't tell if the screws are stainless, but it is definitely made to be outside. Mine's deme-protected on the front porch, however.

I contacted the company earlier and they said that it is NOT meant for outdoors. Thanks for all the answers.

It is made of painted metal so it should be safe to keep outdoors. The only problem I see is the potential for it to rust

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.

The legs are powder coated steel, and there are a stamped steel rivets at the joints. My opinion is that the chairs are OK to use outside occasionally, but I wouldn't leave them outside permanently. The stamped steel rivets will rust, eventually.

It doesn't seem to be made for outdoor use. The wooden piece looks like it has vaneer and might not hold up to weather fluctuations and water/humidity. If you put a matte clear coat over all metal parts it might hold up fairly decent. The one part I would question holding up would be the wooden shelf. I'm enjoying the product. It is a good piece for the price.

It's perfect for cement! I have one on my back patio for the grandchildren to play on. It's very durable, water-proof, and they can walk on it bare foot without burning their feet from the heat of cement during summer months. Primary reason was in case they fell, they had cushioning.

I have all mine outdoors in the stables. They are under cover but exposed to the south Florida air. The finish holds up very well, but the bearings only last about one year for me, but that is running 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Also, the metal blades can be a hazard so make sure they are up out of reach.

It is aluminum and has rubber hand grips and feet. I see no reason why it could not be used in the shower. As one would expect, care should obviously be taken not to slip or overbalance, but that should not be solely a function of use of the walker, just common sense.

I'm thinking that if it's left out in the rain or snow for long periods of time that it might rust. I'm not sure if it's galvanized or not. I'd suggest you go to the Havahart web-site. They have complete information there pertaining to these traps. Hope that helps!

No. The rubber foot is threaded but that allows you to adjust it so that a pointed metal spike is exposed. I assume this is for outdoor usage to be better suited to the ground. To further clarify, when you spin the rubber foot on the threads it moves *up* (it does not come off).

I'd be afraid that the runner would slide around if it's placed on top of wet mud. The plastic is ribbed on the top side, and very smooth on the under side. There aren't any gripper teeth to hold the plastic in place. I've used this product to line wire shelves. It's a nice weight, but if you walk on it, be sure to anchor it down for your own safety.

It might be stainless Steele but it's not a heavy duty stopper for outdoors. I could be wrong, but this option would not be one I'd consider for outdoor use of you're proned to weather

Would work outdoors, but need to pay attention to whether the fastening screws are rust resistant.
