Foosball outside.

Unless you live in SoCal, I wouldn't put it outside.

I'm going to have to echo everyone else here.... that foosball table is toast if you keep it outside.

ChadTower:
Wet toast... all soggy and floppy.

Sunny San Diego!

So, I guess I'm willing to live with a beat up table. I'm just wondering *how* long it'll be playable if kept outside with a cover? And I was hoping there might be some spray I could use to help seal the wood from moisture. :( Maybe I should just sell this table while it's still pristine and buy an outdoor table?

RayB:
OK, so it rains there what, like 2 weeks out of the year?

I used to live in O.C. and I bought a Star Trek pin off a guy who kept it outside. The biggest damage was colors fading due to UV light, and some of the plastics got warped due to heating up in the sun. Other than that the thing worked!

So now I dare say you could be ok keeping it out there, but expect fading due to UV light, and cover it up when rainy season hits.
