Can these be used outdoors, like on a patio for holding plants?

Yes and no. If the finish gets chipped or scratched they will rust. However, if you keep the finish in-tact then you should be fine, and they certainly can handle the weight.

Yes, I imagine they'd be good for holding plants and other things outdoors. They are coated which should offer some protection against the elements but I would still keep an eye on them if you live somewhere where there is extreme heat or sun. I'd be more worried about the plastic giving out and wearing away then the metal shelves themselves.

I can't see why not, but I don't think that's an intended use. If you get a lot of wind, I'd recommend trying something different and/or figuring out a way to make sure your pots won't fall off easily.

It is certainly sturdy, and will easily withstand the weight of large pots. Though powder-coated, I'm not certain about sustaining rough weather. Love the product however. Very pleased.

Yes you can use them outside for holding plants. They are powder coated very good so even if exposed to rain it will hold up.

Yes, they would be perfect for that. These are actually outdoor type shelving, so it should hold the plants without a problem.

They will hold them but I would consider a sturdier stand if you plan to use them outside. Wind will limit the bass response as the stands flex and may cause a danger issue if it's a strong wind.

they're about 12" high so would work for small plants. They do tend to lift in strong winds so you may have to set them in lower and push some dirt up onto the plastic to keep them from getting away.

Yes they can be used outdoors. I have had mine outside for about over a year. They work perfectly, rain or shine.

Yes! I bought these for my outdoor container plants on my deck. The glass globe ones I use on the indoor plants would not hold enough water during the warmer late spring early summer months when gone for a week or two. These do the trick! I actually use them year round!

Yes, but the bottom isn't entirely enclosed, so plants will leak when you water them unless you have a pan underneath. Outdoors it's no problem, but you would definitely need a pan below the pots if you have the planters on a patio with a carpet, for example. (I liked the first two I bought so well that I bought three more! I have two outdoors, and three on our porch with an indoor/outdoor carpet. I bought inexpensive, large plastic plant saucers at Home Depot for those, and they work fine.)

I have some outdoors currently, but they would probably not work if they got wet. I have one in an enclosed lantern so that water can't get in.

They would be too heavy, I think. They are much heftier than a typical plastic planter for a railing.

They are listed for indoor use. We have them outdoors in a covered patio, and have no problems with them (but they are protected from the weather).

I don't believe they are, although if you can put them in an area that is no directly exposed to rain or snow they might be ok. If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain or humidity, I would contact the manufacturer and see if they can give a bit more information. If you were to put them in a covered patio area, that would help.

I would not recommend keeping them outside. I have used mine outdoors and brought them back in when finished, but I don't think it would hold up if permanently left outside.
65857
Yes, if they have some kind of covering. I have 2 outside in a wooden box on the deck. I wouldn't put them where its exposed to the elements.

I don't think they will hold up if they were to be placed outdoors. Mine are being used indoors.

I would think so; they are a thin vinyl & stick pretty good to the wall. I don't know how they would hold up outside to the elements.
1401842
No. Unless they are protected from the rain and from freezing temperatures, then they could be used outside

Yes. Check the sizes, the large is very large and the small is okay for a small plant. I used them on my front porch with a plant stand. Pretty

Unfortunately not. They are well made and can stand up to a lot of weather. My wife and I have used them on many occasions for backyard parties and are always pleased with how they look. However, when storing they take up a lot of space depending on how many you have.
