Is this good for outdoor use? I want to use this for my mother who uses a walker. It it slippery when wet & are the screws galvanized?

I use it to walk from my garage into the kitchen. The kitchen floor is about 11 inches above the garage floor and this ramp reduces the 11 inches by half to about five inches. Although I have never used it outdoors, this ramp is sturdy and well built, and you should be able to use it outdoors without any problems. Since this ramp is relatively heavy it is not likely to slip. It is about three feet wide, which should be wide enough to accommodate a walker for your mother. The screws appear to be made of stainless steel but I am not sure if they are galvanized.

It has black anti-skid material on the ramp and is painted yellow .screws (if you are referring to the elevation jacks are not galvanized) it should no be a problem, apply a few drops of oil or grease.

If your mom is light to normal weight, it has good surface texture for traction. The bolts (screws) are supporting the weight at the high end and leaned some with a wheelchair coming down or going up. It is well made. I would have liked more bracing, sorry haven't checked it wet, but I think the surface texture would grip shoes.

It should be fine outdoors. The surface is gritty allowing traction if the ramp gets wet. It is made of aluminum so it will not rust.

Hard Plastic. Not soft Rubber. Ok to walk on. Yes will hold up on a deck but these can be slippery when wet

No. The rubber foot is threaded but that allows you to adjust it so that a pointed metal spike is exposed. I assume this is for outdoor usage to be better suited to the ground. To further clarify, when you spin the rubber foot on the threads it moves *up* (it does not come off).

I can't verify if it's waterproof, but definitely designed for outdoor use!I have had it hanging from a rear garage exterior door for a couple of years with no problems.The keys are dry and the lock mechanism has always opened with ease every time.

I don't recommend this for outdoor use. However the adhesive sticks well to metal but can be removed.

It appears to be galvanized....I have to store my boat outside and this has not rusted or corroded. It has only been exposed to fresh water.

Yes to both questions. I bought this last year to go on my deck. It is out of the sun and doesn't get very wet when it rains. I did put a couple coats of Rustoleum clear paint on the shelf and the baskets before putting it outside and brought it inside over the winter. It's still in really good shape. I did repaint the stand with black Rustoleum before putting it out this year, because it was a little faded.

Would work outdoors, but need to pay attention to whether the fastening screws are rust resistant.

Hello, I used mine on treated outdoor steps. So far it is staying stuck to the wood. I bought this because I have fallen down my steps several times. It is a nice product, even if you staple it for extra security. Hope this helps.

It's made of aluminum and has a plastic cover so it should be fine as long as the screws you use to install it are made for outdoor use.

I don't believe it's galvanized, but it has held up very well to the elements. The only areas where there is rust are where the metal coating has been scratched from installation.

We've had several pieces for more than a year and "weather resistant" may be accurate but I don't think it's weatherproof. Soon as I assembled ours I sprayed with a rubberized paint. It seems to be good outdoor furniture and has held up well, but even with the paint there are numerous areas of a rust-like light stain. Not too bothersome to me and doesn't appear to be breaking down the material. But, again, I would not consider the furniture weather/rust-proof.

Yes, first clean the area then use a putty knife and try to work it into the pin holes. Then cover the area with a thin coat and let it dry. It should hold up to sun and rain with no problems. It is not made for a walking surface. Good luck.

Hi Angie,I buy these on a regular basis for my mom's folding walker and they are great! We tried other types but they wore out so fast and didn't glide as well as these do. They are made of heavy duty hard rubber and are easy to install. They stay straight, don't shift sideways and as I said, they glide easily over most surfaces. I buy 2 pairs at a time, so we always have an extra when needed. I think we replace them on average every 4-6 months.Hope that helps!

I wanted to know that myself. The skids drag grass and dirt, making it hard to push at times. I know the skids are ment for safety, but I plan to try wheels. I am very careful when I use my walker. I also need to replace one of the hand grips, otherwise it is the best walker I've used

It is aluminum and has rubber hand grips and feet. I see no reason why it could not be used in the shower. As one would expect, care should obviously be taken not to slip or overbalance, but that should not be solely a function of use of the walker, just common sense.
