We never put ours outside as we bought this for the inside of the garage in the winter time. We dont have many windows for 40 plants so this was a great buy for our situation. The shelves are flimsy for sure, but do end up holding our plants up when using zip ties regardless of heavy bowing. Definitely buy extra zips ties to get all four courners per shelf. It is a nice small size but we can stand up fully inside. The center bar holds up two large plant lights and a heat lamp just fine. Throw a tarp on top for extra insulation and your houseplants are happy in winter in the southeast. I would not risk putting this outside unless you tie it down, stake it, And put weighted bags on it or itll be gone like dorothys house in a twister.
