Can I leave it outside during winter or under the rain?

We do. It takes a bit of a beating but so far doing pretty, pretty well. In a bad windstorm it's blown over and the seat came off, but easily fits back in and no worse for the wear. We have two of them!

I live in Colorado. It's on my covered porch. Seems really hearty. I love the bench.

We leave it outside during the summer months in all kinds of weather however we put it away during the winter months.

You can leave it in the rain no more or less than you can leave your lawn mower in the rain. Keep it running and it will be ok, tbrow it in the swimming pool or leave if out all day not running and you may have a problem if the rain soaks in to the engine.

I don't see why not. My preference would be to keep it out of the sun, in a clean, dry place and above freezing temperatures.

I do leave it in the rain when I forget to put the cover. This is a very well built product.

No, I would not leave it outdoors, but you could use it outdoors if there is NO chance of it getting wet.

It can be used outdoors as long as you protect it from direct exposure to rain, snow, etc. I have used one successfully outdoors mounted under the overhang on a house.

You might get away with having it outdoors and under a carport roof, but it was not made for being in the rain or worse. Even a temperature near freezing might harm it, as might strong sunlight.

This question is older but in case the original poster or someone else still wants an answer:Yes, you can set it up outside in the winter. I would recommend putting a tarp under it to keep the bottom dry. Don't leave it out to get damp. If it does get damp / wet, set it up in your garage or similar covered area and run it till it is dry. You do not want to fold it up and put it away with it being damp. Also, I know this may be obvious, but don't set it up and run it in the rain.

I leave mine attached outside. I put a small roof over it to protect it from the rain

I would not use it outside unless you would take it in when it rains. The bottom is a tray which would catch the rain.

I leave my out under my awning connected to my shop, but don't think I would leave it out in the weather.

I wouldn't leave it outside over the winter especially with the winter we had last year. Extreme temps cause things to wear out faster and can affect how they work. I'd store it in a garage or shed so it's not exposed to the elements. Coleman recommends keeping it covered when not in use as rain can also cause the parts to deteriorate and rust.

I've left mine out in the rain and snow and it still works. It was hanging and no water collected on it.

No. I wouldn't leave it outdoors. It's a nice piece for indoors, solid maple, nicely constructed.

Either way should be fine. If your winters include snow, take it down for that season.
