Can you use Era 100 outdoors

Is there any good reason why I could not use the Era 100 speaker outdoors?

Have a very small garden. The garden table is just 5-6m from the WiFi booster in the Dining room.  Have 4x 13-amp IP-rated sockets in the garden so mains plug-in is not an issue either.

I appreciate the Era 100 is not waterproof. But I would only use it in Summer while sat outside. 

If I could use the Era 100 in the garden then I could either use the one I have in the Study, or buy a second one giving the additional option of pairing them if needs be.

It’s also a lot cheaper then the Move 2, which also would need recharging.

Thanks in advance of any comments.

You can use it outdoors, but I would not recommend keeping it outdoors in case of rain. The Era 100s are not waterproof so you will have to make sure they do not sit out in the rain. Your WIFi booster may also present connection issues because Sonos does not recommend using them.

While that is the least expensive solution an is relatively portable, outdoor passive speakers powered by an amp would be the best solution. That is what I have done in my back yard.
