The short answer is yes, the Whispering Creek can absolutely be mounted outdoors, and a covered porch is a great spot for it. We recommend wall-mounted features go in a semi-protected area like that.
If there's any chance the top of the hood will be exposed to rain, weather, or debris, we recommend adding our outdoor hood cover. It sits on top of the hood and keeps water and debris out of the distribution and lighting, which helps keep the water flow consistent.
A couple of things to keep in mind for outdoor use:
- Freezing temperatures: If temperatures in your area drop below freezing, drain all the water from the feature and let it dry for a week or two before the first freeze. Please don't add antifreeze or any freeze-prevention chemicals, as these can damage the feature. Draining it is the best way to avoid freeze damage.
- Finish and sun exposure: All of our decorative trim is powder coated and holds up well outdoors. As with anything kept outside, years of UV exposure may cause slight discoloration on some components over time. That's normal wear and nothing to be concerned about.
