Is this a windcime? Does it gong on it's own or do I have to strike it? Can it be hung outside?

It's a gong, by definition it has to be struck before you hear anything. Otherwise it would be called a windchime. And you can hang it wherever you like.

It is not a wind chime and you do need to strike it. We have it hanging as a decoration at the entrance to our garden. It is very nice looking.

Haven't tried outside... I imagine it would work fine if there wasn't much wind. Works great though....

I wouldn't recommend hanging it outdoors. Potentially you could if you had an area in which the wind would not affect it too significantly and as long as you didn't mind cleaning the many surfaces, which would inevitably get more dust outdoors.

It's more of a decoration peice. You could probably swing it lightly but any vigorous motions will probably result in damage.

It can be hung practically anywhere. But, it is not weatherproof. It was great for the party I threw :-)

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

Hang it from the ceiling, but be sure to use springs at the attachment points, because of the vibration from the cheap out of balance fans they use.

We mounted ours in the garage. I don't know if it can go outside. It works well for us!

Yes. Just make sure it is mounted/weighted down. Otherwise a strong wind will knock it all over.

This fan is wet rated. It is meant for outdoor use. One of the few you could actually use on a perrgola.

Yes, it's designed to mount outdoors. There are two holes in the base that you can use to secure it to something.

You can mount this anywhere. I have mine mounted on my patio where it is windy but does not get wet. YOu just need somewhere to mount it. Does that help?

I am not sure of the total weight, but I have 2 hanging planters and 2 large bird feeders on mine and it doesn't move at all. Add to that all the birds and or squirrels and I am sure you're wind chime will be ok as long as you balance it out on the other hooks. If you do not have a counterweight any hook would topple.

I have a medium sized Crystal Wind Spinner hanging on it outside. It has worked just fine for several months in the heat of the desert and thru a few rain storms. I would not hang anything very heavy on it since it would probably over stress the motor.

Yes, if the wind chime is not too heavy. I found the heavier the item hung on the spinner the harder the spinner worked. These solar powered spinner worked just as I had hoped. They do need to be in direct or lightly filtered sunlight and they do not store solar energy for when the sun is not out.

You could hang it outside I suppose, but it's old wood. You might want to weatherproof it somehow to protect it. I put a flower arrangement in mine, and it's hanging in my house. It looks really nice.

If you are trying to keep it from blowing in the wind anchoring it to cement blocks could work. The other day I did not have it anchored to anything and a good wind came through and it looked like a sail on a boat. I rolled it up. I do like it though. It is actually lightweight and built well. One end at the top of the curtain rod has a small round cap over the pin to protect it during shipment - you need to remove it --- I discovered it the hard way!
