Are these appropriate for use on projects that will be exposed to the elements? For example building a picnic table? Is there an "exterior" grade?

I am no expert but I am using some on a water well cover that will be exposed to direct sun and rain in South Texas. It has only been a month or two so it is still fine. I do not anticipate the screws will be the weakest link though.

Yes there are exterior grade screws included in this kit. But economically you would be better off buying the specific size and type of screw you need rather than a Mixed bag unless you have a lot of interior uses for these screws. In other words only about 15% of the screws are exterior grade. Kreg does offe exterior grade screws. Also if you use the screws on the underside of the table and fill the pocket with caulk they will last a many years

yes if you plug the holes with wood plugs or something else like maybe apoxy..then finish with paint or stain.

The shelving units are intended primarily for indoor use and we have not conducted any extended outdoors testing to see how the materials would hold up in direct weather. I'm pretty confident that they would work well in a covered deck or porch area though. The acrylic shelves are UV resistant and do not yellow, the angle bar is aluminum and the shelf supports are nickel plated brass. Jim Baggett, owner Beautiful Views beautifulviews.net 864-507-0182

No. They are NOT made for outdoor use. One would have to find a way to protect them from the elements which, since they are large, would not be practical. However, I'm sure it COULD be done, with some ingenuity. Hope this helps.

Never I had to use for outdoor, I think depends in what kind of material you are going to use.

I don't think you should use these outside. They would not be protected from the elements.They may last a year or two days depending on how wet they got. Polk Audio sells outside speakers for all seasons. Unfortunately the don't recess but they sound great.

they're metal. they could be used outdoors (i don't know what you're intention is) but, they're not going to take a lot of beating.

The is not labeled for outdoor. I'd suspect the exterior coating would become brittle and break down under UV and weather exposure.

Mine are installed indoors, but I imagine they'd be OK outside. The finish appears to be pretty high quality.

Well they look like they are powered coated , and I don't leave mine outside in the elements I bring them in and store them in the garage when I am finished using them . but I am sure with proper care they will last a long time . If not then you can always make you some out of treated wood and leave them out all year long and mount your saw to a piece of plywood as well !!! hope that helps you out some .

My understanding they are Not weatherproof. I would not use them outside. But I would recommend them for inside.

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.

Yes, it could probably be used for that purpose. However, I'm not sure how well it will hold up exposed to the elements.

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.

Yes! They'd be quite suitable for outdoor play! Buy PLENTY !! I want to add to the set I bought my grandson; he loves them!

They are high quality hinges and very tough and durable. Yes, they can be used outside however galvanized steel resists rust much better. If you do use them outside i suggest keeping them polished otherwise they will eventually lose their luster and spot. When you say outside i hope they have some type of protection from rainfall.

yes...I am sure they could be used for that they are very sturdy...we use outside in the barn for shut off.

I used some of the screwins on a tree, but they weren't really getting hit to bad with the sun or elements, but i would think they would be alright they are super sturdy, really had materiel its almost like real rock. Good luck!
