Is this something that can be left outside or do you have to bring inside the garage each night? How well does it stand up to the outside elements?

Certainly, it is built to withstand the elements. We leave it up outside if it will be used consecutive days, otherwise it easily folds flat to store along the garage wall.

We left it out all summer and fall in upstate NY and it held up fine. We pit it away for the winter. It is quite heavy.

I personally don't leave it outside. But there's a review on the online store Soccer.com (http://www.soccer.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&query;=can+you+leave+Tekk+Trainer+Rebounder+Goal+&N;=0&Product;_Id=1740173) that says they leave the tekk trainer outside all the time. The reviewer said, " I have found the construction to hold up pretty well, we have had it for 1.5yrs now and despite a little fading on the letters the net, frame and bungee cords have held up well. It is always left outside in the North Carolina heat and throughout the winter." Hope that helps. I personally don't leave it outside.

You can leave it out. I wouldn't suggest for long periods of time through heavy rain season but it's pretty durable. What's nice is it only takes a couple minutes to fold up the legs and store it.

It is all aluminum so it want rust. I have left ours outside many a night by accident and it is still like new. It is easy to move so I try to remember to bring it in. Even though it is built extremely well and it aluminum I would still recommend bringing it in when not in use. It only makes common sense that less anything is out in the elements the longer it will last.

After two years in the Arizona sun, the bungee cords totally disintegrate and fall apart. I'm guessing due to UV exposure. Everything else on it looks great. Just need to replace these cords.

I have mine in the basement but i would not recommend to leave outside for long periods of time. It could risk getting rusty.

Ours is in the garage. I believe that if it has stuff in it (of course the heavier things toward the bottom) that it would stand up to a good bit of wind. I don't think I would stand it out in the middle of the yard but would put it against a wall or side of the house, garage, etc. Yes. It's very sturdy but high profile.

Yes it can be left outside. I actually bought a cover for it to protect it more from the elements and I also stained it

Yes, but it should be parked in a garage or structure unexposed to the elements.

I have mine outside, does great so far. Just like most thing, don't scratch the paint and it will last a long time, for the price you can't beat it.

Mine does fine, but I am assuming that you are not leaving it in the direct sun unused for long periods!!! Mine gets left in my hot garage for long periods, with no problems at all!!! I'm in San Antonio!!!

I have it in my garage it moves a tiny bit once in a while and hasn't been an issue that I thought would need to be sand bagged. It comes with strips of fabric attached to the corners so you can stake it to the ground if outside. Or maybe tie it to sand bags. If it were outside I would think it should be staked down. I will also use a tarp under it when we use it outside so the ground doesn't get it dirty or puncture. If on a tarp it would move around more. I hope this helps. If you have more questions please ask. We love it so far. I defiantly recommend it.

I would recommend putting it away each time, unless maybe it was in a garage or something similar. Leaving it outside could potentially leave it open to damage, perforation, or excess wear (or theft!)

Lord no! Don't put that thing in your garage! It really stinks, but it really works! We put ours on the edge of the woods where they will get sun. Try our best not to get downwind of them.

Hi, I keep the cooler in the garage most of the time, I don't leave nice things open to the elements like sun and rain.although I'm sure you can.

Not sure, we keep ours in the garage..it might be ok because the material seems like it would hold up although I would definitely recommend maybe covering when it's going to rain just to preserve it.

Yes. It can be left outside in all weather. I left mine out all spring, summer and fall and had no issues with the weather.

It is designed to be mounted in a garage or shed. They make outdoor models if you need to put it outside.

yes, we leave it outdoors all summer, w/ no problems. It has a good finish and does not rust -- although if you were to "rock" it on a stone/concrete/brick patio, the coating would erode.we made a quick cover out of some plastic packaging to keep the leaves/detritus from collecting in the "lounging" area - that was the only fail in the design -- realistically, there is no way a "hole" could have been placed in the sit-upon area w/o destroying the integrity.

Sarah, it's made to be left in one place and not in and out of a garage or shed. I build a frame for mine with wheels.

I briefly left one of our units outside on a covered porch. It did OK. I wound up bringing into a garage. It would probably be OK outside, but I felt better to have ours out of the elements and out of view from neighbors, etc (glowing red light on the porch)>
