Can Retract-A-Gate be used outdoors?
Yes. The materials used in Retract-A-Gate are very durable and have been designed for a variety of uses. Retract-A-Gate has been extensively tested in both rainy and hot summers. We have also tested it outside during a full northern winter with flawless results. Now, with that said, we do recommend you bring the gate inside during freezing temperatures and anything, including Retract-A-Gate, which is left outside will have a reduced life compared to only indoor use; but you can feel confident that it will stand up well to outdoor use. One thing to be aware of is that some fading or degradation due to extended sun exposure is possible. Because of this, we recommend bringing the gate indoors when not in use.
