Is this whole set weather resistant, or would I have to store it away in the winter? I live in North Dakota, and winters can sometimes be rough here

I've had it for about a month or so. The cover is enough for me. I live in GA and the rain is all I have to worry about.

Just received my set one week ago. I will keep the cover on when not in use and store it inside in the winter months as I live in Michigan.

I left the slide attached to the swingset, but have not used it during the winter months. The slide appears to be quite sturdy, but not sure how it would hold up through really cold temps. I believe the coldest it has been this winter is approx. +8 F. Not sure if you are in a colder climate. Not sure this info helps. My daughter has had a lot of fun on the swingset. Hopefully this ends up being maintenance free.

We left it out all summer and fall in upstate NY and it held up fine. We pit it away for the winter. It is quite heavy.

Tom I live in central upstate NY also and u don't have any more snow and ice than we do here. If it breaks you'll have hood damage to I would think. It is very well constructed and I would never worry about it breaking.

We live in upstate NY and take it down. I've read other reviews where people leave it up. General consensus seems to be that it'll last longer if stored away out of harsh elements.

We live in the Pacific NW so freezing is not really an issue here as it rarely drops below zero. We have ours stored in the garage and didn't have any problems over the winter.

Mine is outside all weather in Pennsylvania all year. I don't store my bike because I don't stop riding it when it gets cold. The water resistance lasts about a year. After that it's a dust cover. For the price you can afford to buy a new one each year.

I have never stored or left mine outside. It is very well made, very well insulated, and doesn't get stiff or crack when laying in the snow and very cold weather!!! You would have to seal plug connections, but in my opinion, it should serve your purpose!!!

I used mine in Upstate NY year round.The weather doesn't a bother it at all.I did buy the security box though so that it wouldn't be stolen.Using the box for security also encloses it and keeps out of the weather.

I kept mine out over the winter. We had a couple of heavy snowstorms. Not a problem. As far as rain, airtight so far -- have had it about a year.

I keep them outside for entire year. I live in Minneapolis area so we had a pretty rough winter and they look pretty good. They could use a power washing but have no signs of break down. I recommend.

We left ours outside in Ohio through the winter. I was surprised how well it held up through all the snow and ice. There are some evidence of wear but that comes with the elements of being outside. It is small enough that you could bring in the garage in the winter but I do not think that would be nessecary. When it rains sometimes the windows do not shut because the wood expands, but they always go back to normal once it dries up. Good Playhouse for the price.

We take it down every year as it us plastic and the cold weather might crack it. We live in Illinois. So winter is rough here

They appear to be all season. We live in Illinois and our winters are hard on everything - so we will store it. We love this bench and do not want to risk it being ruined.

We left ours out all summer through some fairly bad storms. They held up very well. We did store them for winter.

I wish I could help, but my set is in the garage for the winter. If you want to wait a few days (after the snow stops) I will find out.

I would suggest dissembling it for winter if you aren't going to use it. It stands up well, but it doesn't hurt to keep it out of the elements when you can!
