Can they be outside in rain

I had read a previous review that stayed the wood turned grey, keeping that in mind I sprayed them with a water sealer.

I KEEP mine outside but under a covered porch...the finish on them is minimal so if I were you I would put a coat of polyurethane on them. The wood seems solid enough to put outdoors.

I only purchased these two months ago but they have been outside ever since. We did recently start to keep them under a tarp. I just want to keep them as long as possible. As with any wood product, they will weather over time. Keeping them covered just protects them a bit and helps keep their color. Also keep in mind I live in south central Texas where it is hot and humid with lots of sun and little rain. Bottom line, we have really enjoyed them for the past two months but it is too early to speak to the longevity of them outside.

Yes,but best to cover.covers are very affordable,easy to put on/off and protect the finish and cushions.

Yes they can be used outside if they are covered before a rain storm.The only part that isn't painted is the leveling screw that ajusts the height of the seat.This item needs to be oiled from time to time.great item.Vince

They aren't weather proof. They are labeled weather resistant. My two are outside but under cover out if the rain.

i've had no problems using them in the rain, i don't know if they're waterproof or not, but a whole day running up and down a 400 meter range with the military, they did there job.

Yes and no. They do work in the rain and I did see that they accumulated a little water but it eventually evaporated. If they can hold up to heavy Florida rain, I am sure sprinklers would not be a problem.

These are not protected from rain etc., and so are not rated for outdoor use. However wrapping them in permanent watertight plastic, AND with necessary draining hole or provision IN THE BOTTOM should make them usable outdoors.

They are a hard plastic, they can get wet, But there are some moving parts, so weather could effect those.

They are water resistant. I have shaken dew and light rain off and not gotten wet. When they do get wet, they dry quickly.

No. But they do dry quickly and stay flexible. I have used them many times in the rain and they work great.

I wear mine outside all the time, usually on short trips like to the mailbox. I've worn them in rain and snow, but I've always avoided puddles and slush. Dry snow and light rain were never a problem. I never really gave them a torture test, but they are water-resistant in any case. I doubt that they are water-proof.

Depends on how wet... might be OK if they don't get drenched.... of course the safe answer is no, must no be used outdoors I think... but might be worth a try... pls. do not blame me if you have problems!

I haven't left them out in rain, they are not waterproof that I can tell. However they dry pretty quick after sat on with wet bathing suits.

I use them outdoors, but they are not directly exposed to rain. For example, I have one installed under the eves of the roof. Another one in a covered entryway. I don't think they are water proof or water resistant.

I wouldn't put these out in the rain. They're solid brass and the rope is velvet. The rain would ruin them.

yes they shed rain. the rain will come through the shade ever so slight. which is a good thing.

Totally. Ours are used outdoors to block off a certain walk way. However I wouldn't leave them out in the rain.

They'd be perfectly fine in light to medium rain. I'm not sure about a torrential downpour though and certainly don't take them swimming.
