Default tile grout, is it hard enough to stand up to the weather?

i'm curious if it will be hard enough to stand
up to the weather (like cement) or if it is too
soft.

i wouldn't actually take it out of the bags,
just stack them where needed and wet them down
with the hose and then let them be...

According to Wiki, tile grout is a mix of water, cement and sand. Would
appear to me as same stuff used to cement bricks or cinder blocks.
Should be OK and you could even extend it to be more like concrete by
mixing with small rocks.
