My concern is we do have rain here and I'm worried about the machine or stand or irons drawing moisture if left out on the deck.
I'd feel terrible if I damaged it by carelessness, it was a gift from Dick Wrightman, the Treadleon founder.

any experience in this line, leaving a working treadle outside spring and summer?
