These will be perfect! They absorb both oil and water. You can lay them on the floor and as water touches the skin it will be wicked up into the sock.

This item is very sterdy. I assume since it is designed to be retractabl, it should not be kept open. I think the wind wwould do more damage than rain. Rain, you can increase the slope.

It will work fine. If you have young children 3-5 they probably won't slide much. Older children that can get more momentum will definitely have more fun. It is just basically a tarp with stakes you have a buy a sprinkler to spray over it to keep it wet. It is thin so make sure you check for a smooth spot to lay it down with no bumps or rocks or it will hurt when they slide over it.

Hi K., Mine has a lot of play too when the door is closed & locked. I think it is part of the design, and cannot be remediated. I believe that it is fine against a fire or theft. However, I think that there a risk a the docs getting wet in case of a flood. Have not tried this hypothesis though. I kept mine. (Did not return it.) Cheers Cam

I would think that it would work well for that. The lid has a locking mechanism to it. It looks just like a normal place where you lift the lid to put something inside, but that lever actually pulls forward and locks the lid. I'm not sure how water tight it is. I think it should keep everything inside dry if out in the rain... but I've not ever tried that. I use them only for trash containers. I do know that it keeps animals from getting in the trash if that's an issue. Hope that helps!

I have not tried it in the rain, but I would think if you made sure there weren't any opening bubbles around the rim you would be ok. I think your main concern would be the sun dry rotting it and the adhesive leaving a mark. I have pulled it off and put it up 3x's so far.

I live in Florida it does well keeping off leaves and rain. I suppose it would work very well and it would eliminate the need to scrape off your windows.

No I would not trust to use this product for that reason. It is perfect for helping protect from daily ware and tear.

Not airtight rain proof -- if you also throw a plastic cover over the items and be sure to pull the sliding roof tight, you should be good.

yes, but the product is for RAIN protection , better off using polyurethane for indoor wood

I would have to say, "NO".....our cover, in just two months of summer storage, ripped in several places where it was in contact with metal/hard surfaces,,,,,like the water drain/gutter. Unfortunately, not very durable. We had some thunderstorms, but nothing extreme.

It would keep the rain off, but I doubt the umbrella would last for long with constant use. I purchased it to block the sun for photographing at weddings. It works well for that.

Denise, this unit may not be the best for you since there would be a need to find a device to block air from the top of the slider which comes with the unit to the top of your sliding door. Further, unless your living space is on the 2nd or 3rd floor and on a balcony it may not be safe to use the unit in that way. Hope this helps.

We have ours set up inside. I would keep it out of the rain. Remember that no matter how weather resistant a company claims something is, nature (weather) will always win. Cheers

I have only used it to cover the insides of windows, so don't know how well it will last outdoors. I think it's not strong enough to resist tearing via impaction of sharp objects. But it is reasonably strong. If I were to consider outdoor usage, as you are, then I would buy one roll and give it a try. Just be sure to attach it to your support points/framing such that those points don't initiate tearing under stress (wind, etc.). I suspect it may prove adequate.

Hello. As a purchaser of this product, I have been asked to answer your question. This stuff is super tough. However, it has limited spring in the material. It would definitely serve as a sound barrier. I hope this helps. Good luck.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.
