Can this be used and left outside?

It's very light and could blow away in a moderate wind. It's also not what I would call a durable material. Prolonged direct sunlight would probably deteriorate it and outdoor footwear would most likely wear it out.

I think the manual says it can be used outside. We have only used ours inside.

You can store it outside. However NEVER run a gasoline engine/generator inside or in a low ventilated area. It is extremely deadly.

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

It can be used outdoors but I would not recommend leaving it out, due to the fact that there is a cardboard book attached to the train and it is also electric (uses batteries)

You can leave it outside, but I do turn mine over to avoid freezing which does not allow it to work during that part of the year.

I would not recommend keeping them outside. I have used mine outdoors and brought them back in when finished, but I don't think it would hold up if permanently left outside.

Sure you can but its not going to last as long. It will rust eventually. If you need to store it outside I suggest getting a grill or lawnmower tarp to cover it and keep the elements off. You buy a cheap one on here for like $8.

I would not recommend you leave this outside, the wood would probably warp and likely the metal will rust over time.

Can be used outdoors, but unit is not waterproof, not to left out or used in wet conditions.

I think it can be outside if it's in a covered area away from the elements. It's a sturdy bench and easy to maintain but if it's left out in the elements it may get a little messed up.

I don't see why you couldn't use it outside. It might not hold up as well, but they are not that expensive. If it doesn't hold up to the weather buy a new one.

Sure you can use it outdoors. It has a small battery box on it that would probably be completely ruined, but you are free to put the thing any place you want. Just don't expect it to last long out there if it starts raining...

Yes, you can use it outdoors. It is plastic, so it can be left out in the rain. I did not use the blue mat they include with it when I'm using it outdoors. It washes off easily and so far hasn't blown away in thunderstorms.

Not to my knowledge. I am sure it is not sealed to be used outdoors, unless it were in a very protected location. Also, it's wood, and that would probably, unless rigidly maintained, not do too well outside either.

One additional thing on this - the website for the manufacturer states it is OK to leave outdoors. I live in MN and have no plans to bring it inside...too tall even if I wanted to.

Thanks for your inquiry. The panel can be left outside, however the charge controller cannot be left outside.
