Is this meant to be used outside (with heavy rain)

It's thin but durable. Has vents. Has multiple straps at the bottom to hook to each other.

I've had one for about 8 months and it has survived several thunderstorms without any issues. Only complaint is the dark colors have started to fade.

I live in Connecticut, and we had a few thunderstorms with heavy rain, my bike was dry.

It states its water resistant but with my experience it will not even stand up to dew. I went out the next morning and my bike was soaked. That being said there is no way I would attempt to let it be in rain with this cover. I only use this cover for keeping my bike out of the sun while im at work.

Hello Eric, what a smart question. Its a cover so it blocks most of the water but not all of it since its not plastic.

It works well until it starts to fall apart. At that point, they will tell you that the warranty (yep, the "No Hassle" warranty mentioned in the listing) won't cover the material falling apart from breakdown from the natural elements. Mine failed after 15 months and I was told that they would evaluate it if I would send it to them but they don't cover the materials failing, only the workmanship. Until I asked Amazon for a copy of the warranty, it wasn't even posted. silly me, I assumed a 2 year hassle free warranty meant just that..

If you are trying to find out, if this could be used in the RAIN? the answer io NO! all OUTDOOR electrical related items, have to seal so that no water gets into the electrical connection.... this item is not set up for that.... but if you are looking to use it in a DRY outdoor event.... you will be fine!

I have not used it for rain myself but the person who recommended it to me had and said it worked great for rain. I cannot see any reason it would not as the material is thick and certainly seems like it would not let water through.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

I wouldn't use it for heavy duty rain, or steady rain/wet. Could be okay in minor drizzles etc. but don't think it would keep things dry in serious wet conditions.

I have not used it outside, I don't think you can't use it outside unless it's covered from the rain

This is meant for indoor use, you could probably keep it outside if the weather is nice but it will hot hold up to rain

I have used it in the rain and it was fine, but I wouldn't use it in a heavy storm or anything--it's very pretty but doesn't hold up to strong winds.

It is not approved for use outside, but I have it outside under the eves so it is protected from the rain. It is very light, though and has a tendency to fall with high winds. I would recommend brining it in side if the weather is bad.

I've had it in light rain and it's had a splash or two, but in heavy rain I'm not sure. I would not really recommended putting it in that position though.

Well I have never used it in HEAVY RAIN, but I would think if I had used it, it would work just fine.

sure, as long as you put a roofe over it? :) My guess is that you wouldn't want to run it directly in the rain ... the plugs are obviously not covered for starters, so, when it's running, it seems like it'd blow right away ... not to mention the other parts are exposed too ..

Only used mine for a couple of weeks as it was replaced by a shed. It did rain during that time and my belief is that is water resistant but not entirely waterproof.

Absolutely. I wouldn't leave it out in the rain though the legs are metal they might rust a little.

Not unless you have a way to protect it from the weather. It is not made of materials meant to withstand rain, etc.

No, it is not. A little water-resistant but don't leave it in the rain. Thanks for the Yes vote!

Sorry, but I would not purchase this for outdoor use unless it is protected by a covering of some sort. I left mine out in the open and it was damaged after it got wet from the rain.
