It seems too. But mine has three tunnel sections added and is under an eave.

I have had no issues here in Arizona through our monsoon season, but it is installed in a door under a patio. That being said it has been exposed to high winds and blowing dust and took it like a champ. Hope this helps.

Yes, it closes solidly. Now if you have snow pack up against it, there may be some water leakage around the edges.

Mine has been fine in heavy rain and snow mounted to the outside of my house with no additional cover. Very happy with the unit.

Its supposed to be. Haven't tested it on hard rain. Is at least water resistant.

No, it is not weather tight. I do not recommend using outside. It will leak if subjected to rain.

No, it does a good job of closing the door, but with wind it will still slam or if the wind is blowing it open it might not close all the way.

The door is very heavy with strong magnets. So it swings well and catches well. I live up in the mountains and during heavy storms you can not feel the wind coming through. Because it closes so well unless my dog is going through it doesn

I have it attached to my home outside that faces SW. We've had many rain/snow/sleet/hail storms and it has remained just fine.

Sorry, I have not used it in that situation (Mostly because I don't work well in heavy rain/snow. :) )

Not sure what you mean by "can you close it". But if you mean does it close to keep the elements out or something of that nature, the answer is no.

We have left this outside many times and it stands up to the rain and sprinkler system just fine. If it starts to get windy we just unhook it from the sides and bottom and closed it like a curtain. During the winter we did take it down and stored it.

I am living in MA and afraid of it collapsing. I asked this question and didn't get an answer. I had it removed after a few big blizzards.

It feels solid but I really am not sure because ends are closed. It is really nice!

I live in Tucson, where it gets brutally hot in the summer. I have only owned this since November though. It did get rained on once, and it did not seem to affect its operation. All in all it seems like a pretty solid piece of machinery. Recommend you get a cover for it.

I had it out in PA the last two winters. Minus 5 was no issues just keep it closed all winter

I have left it up during light showers, which it handles pretty well. I have lost too many of these things to the weather, so I always take it down when thunderstorms are in the forecast. In my opinion, the build quality is what one should expect for the price; not flimsy, yet not designed for extended exposure to the elements.

Ahh I know it will tolerate some rain, but it's not water proof. If you have it set to intake, it will suck a little bit of the rain in, but be ok.

I have not had any problems with it. Comes with a weather proof cover It was much better than I thought it would be. Jim
