The weather has been in the 70s and 80s here. Should I worry about this melting and being rotten if it's left outside my front door for some hours?

hello , Is better that you keep the product in a cool place or in a shadow , for avoid melting , but depend how many hours it gonna be outside ?

It will probably soften but I don't see it going rotten if it's only a few hours outside.

Here in Houston, TX it's very muggy throughout the summer, and the high humidity persists pretty much year-round. So far we've seen no condensation on the inside, and the material is pretty stout. I'd think if you move it around from place to place, damage will occur from abrasion, but if it just sits there it seems to hold up fine.

I would to save it from being beat up from the weather. It will last longer. :)

Provided the top is completely protected from the elements it could go outside. The door only has a small magnet latch so letting it closed when windy could be an issue. Also outdoor temperature, my basement is 66 degrees in the winter and it takes 25 minutes to heat up. It's not overly powerful heating elements so it might struggle to stay hot if it's cold out.

the storage is key, if not done properly, it will melt especially living in Florida

Most likely it is condensation caused by cool weather of a thunderstorm and then coming into you warmer house environment. Suggest letting it dry thouroughly by turning inside out for at least 24 hours in a dry place and then folding and storing and using the moisture packs it was packed with. To prevent avoid when possible going suddenly from one extreme temp to another.

I haven't had it over the summer yet so, not sure. However, we do live in Florida and it has been fine in the 80s.

Unless it gets below 40 degrees I would not worry about it. The unit is used to remove humidity which happens to most basements in the summer. I have one and love it. It took my humid basement where moisture was about 75 percent down to 40 to 45 in about a week. Would not be without it.

Ours (both of them) arrived cracked from Amazon, so honestly I wouldn't recommend for indoor or out. We kept one because temperature was around 0 degrees F. and it was kind of an emergency. It is kept outdoors under an awning of shed and has seemed to work fine.

You would have to leave it there a while for it to burn. If you just touch it, you'll be ok.

Personally I think keeping this in a location subject to weather 365 daya a year is not a good idea. Mine is in a semi-covered area and I covered it in plastic to prevent winter snow and ice damage. I also do not store potting soil directly in the soil area, partly because I also use as a server on my deck for parties. Rain does get inside even on the side with the solid cover.

It probably would be OK as long as it is protected from rain or snow, but it will take forever to heat up when the temp is below 65-70 degrees Farenheit. You should check with the manufacturer who will probably discourage you.

Ours has been outdoors for a few years but it is underneath an overhang of our house. It faces east so it gets a lot of sun and has gotten wet occasionally with storms and fog. So far, the finish has held up beautifully and it looks just like the day we got it.

Depends on how you store this. Personally, I pop a desiccator into the mix and then wrap the whole thing in tin foil to keep it away from the light. Store it in a dark, cool place and you should be ok for at least one year. Hope this helps.

I guess I wouldn't be opposed to trying it, away from the house first of all. It is galvanized so it'll probably discolored rather quickly. As long as I don't load it up to where it makes a super hot fire. Me, I would try it because I don't see where it would hurt anything as long as you're safe.

I leave my battery, weedwacker and charger in the garage year round (upstate ny) and haven't had any problems! Winters are freezing and snowy and today it's 93 and hot and humid! I would imagine wherever you are it should be ok as long as its dry!

DO NOT put this inside your home! I cannot stress this enough. Not only will your entire home smell like rotting meat, the smell will permeate your clothing and other belongings, and then it will travel with you. Please do not do this. Strictly for outdoor use, and would be best for a large area.
