Can this be put outside in the sun on patio?

I have eight of them hooked up to a control bucket and reservoir and they have been outside for over a year. No issues.

It's plastic. Not recommended, in freezing or extreme heat conditions. But I just love mine ! It's indoors

Yeah, just so long as the air pump stays dry. I don't see why it would hurt anything.

An enclosed patio would be best. It does use a pump, and some like to add a timer - these of course need electricity and protection from elements.

yes you can... you will just have to watch the water level more often. The sun doesn't make it through the bucket to the roots

I'm not sure. Mine sits inside a sunny patio door with lettuce growing in it. Sorry I couldn't help you.

Yes it can. I have 4 of these mounted on a building outside that get exposed to the sun all afternoon. I ended up building a 3 sided metal enclosure with holes for the antennas to stick out of to keep the sun off of the unit directly. This shouldn't be needed but these units get warm to the touch even inside. The enclosure is painted white and has no bottom to allow free-flow air around the AP. This is only intended to extend the life of the AP

No it's slightly smaller than a typical patio umbrella. You'd have to tighten whatever screws hold it in the patio stand.

I don't think so, I have sunbrella for a boat top and it's not the same. I keep our chairs under our patio and they faded a bit... Not much though. I am still happy with chairs.

Absolutely! I've had mine outside exposed to the AZ sun for the last three years (11/12) and it still looks great.I just hose off the dust and let air dry.However, I did spray paint it with Rustoleum when it arrived to a brown to match my patio furniture.

It is not intended for outside use although it is rated for humidity 20-80% and thus might be able to be used in a covered porch for example. The strict answer is no though.

I think it would be fine on a covered patio as long as it's protected from the elements.

I don't see why not, but I would keep it under a patio with a cover should you get strong winds or hail in your area.

You can definitely use it outside, but only in shade. Direct sunlight causes it to bronze.

I'm sure you can use it outdoors. It does not have sunscreen in it. So you may burn if you already don't have a base tan.

I suppose you could try to put it on the outside, but my guess is that the weather would take it down for you after a while. I put it on the inside, and it works just great.

No,it is not intended for outdoor use, however if it is placed where it will not be directly exposed to the elements, it should be fine. If you place it under a porch, gazebo, or similar protection, so that it isn't soaked by a rainfall, there should be no worries.

I don't think so, we have a patio cover so the rain hasn't got to it. But judging by the quality of it, I wouldn't say its weatherproof

yes, we have it outside under our covered patio, just a roof over it, sides are open. Works great!

Sun, yes. But it is not waterproof. Beware of some covers. If they trap moisture, you will get mold. This is a reasonable compromise but the cover is not waterproof. The more expensive covers are waterproof and soft lined. This cover dries rapidly after rain.

I would not leave it out in direct sun light every day. Under a car port or patio would be okay.
