I want to mount this bag under my deck outside, how will it hold up in weather?

It depends on a few factors. If it's completely sheltered from water and/or ice it will hold up well. Long periods in the sun will cause it to fade over time. Just remember NOT TO GET IT WET. It can withstand a few minutes of drizzling, but downpours will cause the water to be absorbed into the inner material, which can grow mold and a serious funk and will take FOREVER to dry. Keep it dry. aside from that, I've worked on these in freezing temperatures (ouch, but great for building callouses and calcium deposits on the shins), sun, snow...they're durable. Kick away.

I have hung up mine outside.I don't think it was made for that but it has held up very well for the price

I dont think it will withstand wind without some kind of support Even if you put sand bags on the legs I would think you should still tie down to keep it stable at the top.....

I imagine so. It's very sturdy, as well as attractive. I don't know about leaving it out in bad weather, although even that might be ok.

It's pretty sturdy. As for outdoors--sure but you need a protected outdoor duplex so that it doesn't get wet

It's not built to withstand weather. So I doubt it should be outside unless very well protected. It's a good device though and I always received great support.

Yes, it will last well outside. Remember that you have to attach it to the floor, or some other surface to hold it down in use.

I use it for outside. It's plastic, so weather won't affect it all that much, although it could crack from extreme heat or cold. Then again, any plastic will do the same thing. It seems well made, and holds a lot of weight, me.

I would say mostly. We keep ours under the eaves on our deck. In winter, because if snow, Ina shed. We had some good Tstorms this summer & it seems to have held up well

I believe eventually it would. I don't really think it was made to withstand the elements, However if you really need to leave it outside I would get a tarp to cover it.

The Harken company primarily manufacturers gear for sailboats and the blocks, guides and pulleys for this system seem to be built of the same materials. I would think it would hold up fine outdoors.

I have three mounted under the eaves of my workshop. Three months with no problems so far. I thought for sure a storm was going to get one, it had water dripping off of it but it is still working fine.

It is sturdy enough to hold plants, but I think it would deteriorate outside unless it is in a covered space.

I've only had it about 2 weeks but did set it up in the backyard. It seems sturdy enough. Imounless a hurricane comes through I think it would hold up ok. The corners are galvanized.

A way that might be a possibility would be to put a shield of some kind over the top of the bag, hanging the bag from a shield, say using plywood , plastic, etc.,it wouldn't get wet from the top and probably not the sides, unless heavy wind with the rain.

I don't use it in the rain so I can't answer how it would hold up. Works fine in cold weather.

john, I have it mounted under a roof overhang so it does not get direct rain. But so far works without any issues.
