Does this shut tightly enough to keep out bugs? Im looking to keep the dry food for the strays i take care of out on my porch.

Yes I think It wiould we have it outside under our porchWith pool supplies never have any bugs inIt spiders etc and we leave out in the country

I don't think the lid closes tight enough to keep moisture or bugs out. I have several items I need to keep dry but I store them in airtight containers in the box.

We use it for pool equipment, mostly chemicals. I would think it would but I'm not sure since that's not how we use it. We really like ours. Top is strong enough to use as a bench and the color works well for us since we are surrounded mostly by sand.

No. I think you would need something with a seal. This keeps water out but I'm pretty sure those pesky critters will crawl right in.

Yes. The front is zippered and can roll up. The floor of the porch is simply a tarp and does not attach the the tent so there is potential for bugs to intrude but there is quite a bit of overlap so bugs should stay to a minimum.

yes, it does seal tightly and keep out odors . on a side note i do try to keep all other freezer foods completely covered so that they don't get smell from them

No, but any open gap can let in flying insects. My guess is only a perfectly sealed camper could keep out flying insects.

Yeah there's a slit at the top to let the hangers out, bugs could easily get in but it's got a cedar block in the back to discourage moths and bugs. I expect there's some sort of spray or something you could use around the area to keep bugs out though. Apart from that it is sealed, hope this helps

absolutely not -- the lid lowers down slowly and when it fully closes it is even with the rest of the can, but an actual seal would require that the lid was closed with some pressure - in fact, considerable pressure. many insects, including roaches, can walk between a wall and wall paper. they will have no problem getting in and out of the can if they have reason to go there. and i don't believe i have ever seen a consumer trash can would have a strong-enough seal, except, maybe, those trash-compactor in-counter units, which you have to shove closed with some force

This is like any other plastic container. As far as an airtight seal I would say no. But once the lid is on it seems to fit fine. I would say it should keep ants out as long as it's on correctly.

It snaps down as others have said, but it won't keep ants out. If I leave it on the counter overnight, there are usually a ton of ants on the butter in the morning. Am looking for one that is tighter. Regards, Dan

Yes. It definitely closes tight! It clicks shut. My puppy hasn't even been able to get into it and I have it sitting on the floor.

Yes. My cats get out on the balcony through it. It's not really designed to keep animals in or out. It's designed to automatically shut after someone ( or a pet) walks through it.

It is intended to keep insects & bugs out. No other usage has been approved.

Yes, as long as the lid is kept down, it is tight enough to keep them out.,

No I would not close my bunnies up in this it's to small and not ventilated at all I don't think. I use it for a sleeping house for them.

Definitely not, as long as you latch it. It's air tight when the latch is on. I have a lot of spiders, flies, and tiny gnats where I live, and never once have they gotten into the food, even when they try.

The lids do not "snap" closed. The Food Saver machine will suck the air out of the unit and seal it tight. Use the "Accessories" setting on the Food Saver.

Yes, the screen is only partially shielded by the fly, and there are no additional zipped doors to completely seal the porch. What you see is what you get. If it's a heavy rain, it will come into the porch.

i use mine on an open porch, have used this type for years. porch is set back, but roofless. could try slitting an old Styrofoam cooler and feeding cord thru slit in back....i feed feral cats and use them for both wet food and water. for food i but a stainless pan with water in first and then a more shallow pyrex over with canned food in. works well. hope this helps.
