will it crack from freezing temps
204200
Mine doesn't seem to be affected by freezing temps/frozen water in it (Michigan). I imagine it will eventually get more brittle with exposure to sun, snow, etc., and of course it will get damaged if you try to chip the ice out & miss the ice though.

Yep, mine did. After only three weeks I got a really cold snap here in the mountains and it's cracked in the center and useless. I should have read all the answers on here and brought it in, but I figured the shape and shallow nature would be okay.

Mine cracked over this past winter in NJ, right in the center. I noticed that there hadn't been much water in it and when I was washing it this weekend, I saw the big crack. You're better off bringing it in over the winter.

Live in PA, I left it out over winter. It almost made it through, but when it blew over post-winter, it cracked in 3 separate places. Leaving it out definetly affects how brittle the plastic gets. I'm still here looking to purchase another though, I'll take it in this winter.

I live in Colorado. I have had mine since September it's now the end of November & have had no trouble with it cracking because of freezing temps. The water is even frozen inside it & it doesn't leak .....I love it & the birds do too!

My first one cracked while I had it out last winter. I was glad I could find it and reorder it again. Stored it inside this past winter and it's fine.

I left mine birdbath out for the winter and it did crack. Disappointed because the birds loved it.

I live in Arizona and haven't had to deal with this issue. But I would suggest emptying the dish before a freeze to be on the safe side. The type of plastic of which it is made seems durable enough to handle temperature changes.

Yes but only in the summer months or in a warm climate. When Temps drop below freezing the water will freeze expand and Crack the radiator head etc...

I have not had a cracking issue but can see how it could easily crack. Seems like a question for the manufacturer . Brian

Not above freezing. Regardless, if you drop it once, it will crack. For the price, your better off getting three similar bottles from Walmart.

No it can't handle the snow and cold becuase I was running it in the snow and I hate a bump and the axle just snapped and after a while the shocks lose there spring in them I would get a better car even though tey will probably be more money it's worth it so do not buy this car you will just waste your money

No, the moisture will cause it to crack at some point. A baking steel would be better for that.

I don't know if it won't freeze but I ordered mine in Jan and its been cold here. It arrived fine. You can ask the company. They're great about helping.

It fits securely to the ground. I don't know if it becomes brittle in extreme cold but my gas mower is covered in 100º+ full sun and very strong thunderstorms with absolutely no weather concerns . I was initially skeptical because price was very reasonable so even if I replaced it every couple years it is so worth it. I do not believe I will have to though

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.

Two ways. First, the unit has a small breaker switch that pops if it gets too cold. Second, the unit is available with a cold weather kit that will keep it from cracking. The one I ordered here had this kit pre-installed. It's a great unit. I highly recommend it. Best thing I ever did for the RV.

if it is going to freeze yes. Other wise it is probably a good idea even if it doesn't freeze.

This is a very good question and one I considered do to where I live (Northern Maine). The plastic is somewhat fragile and in freezing temps, depending on the angle and height from which you may hang it, it could crack. I mount mine on 2 cinder blocks, up off the ground and use a heater (designed for keeping poultry waterer's) from freezing. When it gets to 15 and below, even the heater doesn't help. I do have a small hot plate in the barn for keeping my water warm for in sub-freezing temps. But to answer your basic question, yes, it could chip or shatter.

My husband has been using his for 7 years many days in cold weather with no cracking issues

I'm not sure I would. Some of the pieces are hollow & if they fill with snow & ice, even though this is metal I'm afraid in extreme winter conditions it might crack. I've actually had my bench blow over.

It is, but it's easier of you freeze it for 20 seconds. It will prevent it from cracking
