Is this designed for outdoor installation? If so, how is it mounted?

Yes, it's designed to mount outdoors. There are two holes in the base that you can use to secure it to something.

Yes. I mounted it outside of my shop with screws that came with the unit. The unit is designed to mount in a number of ways, flat or vertical. I mounted it against the outer wall near the top of my shop which is at least 250 ft from my house. I get a full 5 bars from my house and 3 bars from a house down the street which is a good ways off.

Yes, I believe it is OK to use outside -I use mine outside. It comes with a plastic base that can be screwed onto any flat surface like a floor or a wall. After mounting, the antenna can be angled nearly any direction. It increased my reception from two bars to the maximum of five bars and it brought in several sites that were not previously visible.

Yes it is designed for outdoor installation. The base has three holes to attach it to a structure.

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.

Yes,Rusty. Its indoor-outdoor. I have mine on the roof of my motour home. Being an FM recieving antenna,it works better outdoors,away from interferance,i.e.buildings,trees,power lines,etc. Indoors you wont get the range(I get up to 1/2 mile),but otherwise it will do either. There are three holes in the base for screws,but none come in the packaging.Hope this helps.Steve

Yes to the outdoors, the mount swings from horizontal as pictured to vertical so it could be screwed to a post, side of a house, etc. or just mount it to a board and set it on something tall.very versitile.

As in, is this rated for outdoor use? Not sure. I don't think I'd put mine outside...

It will work where ever you put it. If you want to mount it outside where it is exposed to the elements, the company has a exterior magnetic case available.

I have hung up mine outside.I don't think it was made for that but it has held up very well for the price

I am not sure if it's designed for outdoors. I have it in my display window, which is indoors.

Yes it can be mounted outside. I have had 2 of them outside for almost 6 years

it should be protected from rain and freezing temperatures.so it can be mounted outdoors but in a weather protected location (ie. a box). used mine under a tarp one summer.

It's just a guess, but if the fixture in which it is mounted protects it from direct contact with the elements, I would say it is plausible for use out doors.

I have 4 of them located outside. They are not actually for this purpose, but I have had mine installed for 2 years and no problems. Just make sure you locate them in a dry (rainproof) location. I have mine under the eaves of my house.

Am unsure of the correct answer to this, however, we are mounting it outside with weather protection. Renogy would be able to provide the accurate answer to this question. Have been in contact with them several times and they have always been knowledge, courteous and their service is excellent.

We have this mounted on our front porch. It is protected from direct rain and sun. It might rust eventually if you have it out in the elements but it works great for people to drop things off for us in a secure place when we are not home.

Not sure I would mount it outside unless it was enclosed. It would be very easy to disconnect and drain it for winter storage.

You can mount it on the outside of the door as long as the door opens to the outside. This unit pushes the door closed.My only concern would be how it will hold up to the elements. It is not a sealed unit and could possibly rust in time.

yes, the fixture is designed for outdoor installation. I installed mine in December and its works great. I would have liked to have a motion sensor on it along with the photo cell.

It can be mounted anywhere there is a 110 VAC outlet available. There is no reason it has to be mounted outdoors. Be aware there is a slight 60 cycle hum when it is turned on.

Negative it is not designed for outdoor use! Unless you enclose it somehow so the weather can't get to it! Hope it helps!

Unit is designed for indoor installation only. In order to use it outdoors you would need to purchase a weather tight cabinet to mount it into to protect the electrical components.
