Could we use this outdoor? How many times do you think it can be folded up & down if I wanted temporary setup outside?

Outdoors would work on a sunny, calm day. This house is made out of cardboard, so wind or rain would not be good. It is very light and portable. I am not sure about the folding...probably a big pain, but I think you could. do it.

I would say it would not last long if used outside. We have it in our daughters room--- and it's taken a beating without is ever moving it. We love it! But it's best used inside. Hope this helps.

I'd say you can bring it out for a little bit. Not on a windy day or if its muddy and you can't leave it out. I have a 1 year old and 4 year old who ripped it within a few days. I would definitely get packing tape and tape it up. Its not the most sturdy thing

It's cardboard so if it's outside any moisture, even dew, will be a problem. I think it could be folded over and over a lot. If you do use it outdoors, do it once the dew has evaporated and bring it in before dew begins to collect again in the evening.

My granddaughters did use it indoors..we put some duct tape on corners to reinforce it. We have folded it up and down several times.

I use mine outdoors for exactly that same reason. I only cover it when it rains. I got a small tarp and bungee cords to use as cover. I've only had it for the summer and its holding up great outdoors. I do plan to bring it in for the winter season. Hope this helps.

It isn't durable to endure bad weather but it is easy enough to set up and tear down if you wanted to have it outside to play during nice weather. For the most part it is an indoor tent, but would be fin to take outside to play for an afternoon.

I bought this as a gift and when I forwarded them your question, here's the response I received: I doubt it's meant for outside use. I think it wouldn't last too long. Hope this helps!

I do not think it would be reliable for outside use. Sun would deteriorate the plastic material, and I doubt it would be water tight, so rain could get in.

It is sturdy enough to set up outside. It won't be waterproof though, so I would only use it for a time and then bring it back in. It is not a permanent outdoor setup.

I think it may be a bit large and may not withstand any weather you may get. Its more of an indoor/good weather tent. I would suggest a kennel-type shelter. Maybe look on craigslist for a used one.

Sorry but I haven't used it outside. I use it on a carpet floor and he lays on it all the time. I read somewhere that it can be used outside but to keep it out of the sun.

This stand comes woth a swing but I think if you had to you could use another type of swing. I personally love that I can fold it up for inside or outside

No I would not leave it outside indefinitely. If it doesn't blow away the UV rays will damage the canopy. This tent is made for temporary shelter like craft fairs etc.

Sure you can use it outdoors. It has a small battery box on it that would probably be completely ruined, but you are free to put the thing any place you want. Just don't expect it to last long out there if it starts raining...

I don't think it's made to be an outdoor unit. That said, to have it outdoors for a day for a party, I think it would be fine. Kept in the shade, it would function like a cooler for the day. But I would not leave it outside after the event is over and I would not expose it to sun or any precipitation.

I have not personally used it outside, but this is designed for indoor use. I am sure you could set it up outside and then take it back inside, but it is by no means rugged.

That is up to you. It is not designed for outdoor use or would be covered under the manufacturer's return policy if used that way

I would say no. It folds down and is meant to be portable. I don't think it would be sturdy enough for that.

It would probably be okay outside. I wouldnt want it on the lawn though - you should have it on a harder more stable surface. But otherwise - I would think outside would be fine. However for long term durability - I'd recommend this though only for inside ... maybe get a little tikes set for outside?

this could be left out and used as a patio table. If weather got rough, I would take it in to keep from getting blown around. Folds and stores easily. Very serviceable.
