Guys,
I assume GFCI protection is installed.
Cable assembly:
The manufacturer "specs" the rating on the basis that the entire cable assembly (yellow sheath, conductors with 90 degree rating, and the paper wicking) is Intact.
Conductors:
There is no "rated as" marking on the conductors,
it is on the outside of the entire cable assembly.
(*) The "rated as" is marked
on the outside of the yellow sheath.
The individual conductors have no marking,
although I certainly agree it "looks" like THHN.
(*) The individual conductors
do not have a Nylon skuff resistant jacket (THHN),
thus the Thin poly-plastic Insulation is not protected
from the abrasion that normally occurs
during pulling the conductors through a conduit.
This implies that the conductors are not designed
to be pulled through conduit "naked".
Dry-Locations:
Technically, outside is outside, and the "pic-nic shelter" is really outside, and at least damp. Romex is not designed for 'damp' locations. At least put a Jbox up near the roof and run UF down the post.
In-Use Receptical Cover:
This appears to be a "Not Direct Rain" application,
so I would use flapper covers, as the minumum.
