And...how does it stay alive if it is in the garage? Won't the grass need sun?

We recommend indirect sunlight as too much sun can burn or dry the grass out too much. Many people keep their grass indoors or in a garage with no issues, so it should be fine! Just lightly spritzing it with water every 1-2 days will be enough!

The grass does not require sunshine. It comes full of water and then the water evaporates out as your dog urinates into it. I am a huge fan of doggie lawn. I am signed up with the company for regular deliveries. They will answer any questions you have. They are a great company. I hope this helps.

An enclosed patio would be best. It does use a pump, and some like to add a timer - these of course need electricity and protection from elements.

Closest we ever got to rain was wet grass and it stayed dry. But I don't think the design would stay dry in actual rain. It's a very open design and would get wet inside I think.

We had leftover Greenlight Crabgrass Preventer from spring and summer use. We kept it over the winter in a sometimes -20 degree garage. It worked very well the following Spring.

Yes, ours has been outside for years. It is placed on the side of our garage near an outside outlet and we just leave it plugged in and ready to go. We love it and have never had trouble with it. This is our second one that we have purchased. Now I do want to mention that we live in the Deep South and it seldom freezes here so you might take that into consideration. It is left out year round though and has been there for many years. Jean

I keep mine in a front room that was a garage, ideally it should be kept at a lower temp but i would only seeing it affect its life at that temp. Perhaps get 1 year or so out of it vs. 2-3.

I place it in the garage when it rains. The only problem is that its not staked down so you have to adjust it ever so the ball is back in position to hit. I started moving it inside because I noticed slight rust on the base from being in the wet grass.

I leave my battery, weedwacker and charger in the garage year round (upstate ny) and haven't had any problems! Winters are freezing and snowy and today it's 93 and hot and humid! I would imagine wherever you are it should be ok as long as its dry!

I believe you (could) use this outside. I put one of ours in our dogs crate that is in the garage and it is doing just fine. I believe the sun may be the factor or maybe what you lay it on may damage it. It does have a nice rugged cover but it could be punctured by a sharp object ect. I wouldn't leave it outside for an extended period of time. Our dog loves hers, one is in our living room/dining/room and one is on our bed, we sometimes use it in her crate.

Its the same in the Midwest, if the solar panel gets a full day or two of bright sun it has a chance to store energy. Read manufacturer instructions: "...Your solar panel needs to be placed outside in a sunny area and needs to face the southern sky. If it is in the shade it will still charge, but not as well as in the sun. If it is behind glass, it may not charge properly." Motion detector activates the light for a few minutes or so. Hopes this helps...

Well, I'm not the authority on this question. I would contact manufacturer because that is a really good question. Currently, mine is set up outside in the elements, but I have thought several times that I sure hope it doesn't rust. I just have not taken the time to move it into the garage...lazy. Let us know if you find out that it needs to be stored indoors. Thanks!

I have never put it in the garage but my library has no AC and lots of windows so it gets very hot. My paper has survived and works fine.

I kept it in my classroom. Normal temperatures - sometimes with the air conditioner running. We did not place it in the sun.I think garage conditions would be ok, but don't miss the hatching!

it doesn't need light. do not put it in the sun. i doubt if it would work as a mat since it needs a layer of dirt under it???

If there is sunshine on the greenhouse it will warm during the day. Don't think it has enough to stay warm at night without help. Reinforcement mesh is part of the plastic sheet. Plastic is pretty thick, about 20 mil or so. Plenty of light comes in if sun is shining. To keep it warm you'll need a space heater at night.X

HelloKeep it out of tall grass, mud. Works well om hard packed dirt and gravel driveway. Works well on pavement, concrete.

We live in arkansas, so it would be better to keep it in the house or in the garage. During summer it would be ok on porch or patio.
