how mutch of a snow load will it hold

I doubt it will hold snow. I was told by the company when i called them to take it down before a storm so it wouldn't break apart. In the instructions that come with the structure, it tells you to take it down before a storm also.

I have had it now for quite some time up at a campground set up permanently. I do not keep my eye on it continuously but feel like it would be okay unless it can build up of snow, ice and more snow and ice. It has not happened yet.

very simple if 6 inches or more accumulates gentlly take a broom and shake the inside of the roof and the snow slides right off. dont allow a foot or more to accumulate have not had any problems in 5 years and counting

I've had 6+ inches of some wet snow in Colorado on mine....didn't seem to affect it at all. You can stand on these things, so I would imagine a foot or 2 of snow wont be an issue......6 feet-- thats a different thing....just brush it off with a push broom.

Haven't used it in the snow but it is rated for it and I've used it in 50mph gusts and as long as all the tie downs are used it will be fine

I can't tell you today as my cast iron equipment is all put away for the northern Wisconsin winter. We have 10 to twelve inches of snow predicted for the next couple of days. After that I'd be glad to dig it out and measure it for you. Write me back in a few days if you're still interested.Regards,Tom

It's sturdy and the surface area of the roof is not that big. I don't think snow load is an issue.Can't say how it will do long term in very cold temps. My brother has a similar unit he has owned for probably 10 years. He has moved it 2x. It is holding up great. He is just north of NYC so below zero is not common.It is not hard to put together, but my 10 y.o. helped and he had to kick something to get everything to line up and he broke off a small piece.It is still sturdy despite that. I am very happy with it.

Had mine in 50+mph and about 3ft of snow. It held up great, I upgraded the steaks and seam sealed and kwick sealed the entire tent. The vents zip from top to bottom and Velcro on the bottom.

I used it for the first time today, works great with 5 inches of snow! All of my neighbor's snow blowers were bigger, looked more expensive but did the same job as my cost effective snow blower. I put it together in the basement then carried it outside. It must be approximately 30 pounds because I can easily pick it up and carry it...I'm not one of the strongest women.

I wouldn't want to count on it. The roof fabric is quite thin but it served us well during a recent church event.We live in coastal South Carolina so snow has not been an issue.Good luck!WBG

It will for snow 2 or less inches. If it is more than this, slushy, or icy it will struggle. I used it in 4 inch snow but it required two passes and just made it very thin so the sun could melt it.

I owned one for about 5 years. It will not hold up to snow. Rain yes. We had it in the mountains of NC. We used it to have a semi-permanent campsite. It stayed up from April to Nov. There was no problems even after 3 years. One year it snowed a heavy wet snow and it came down. The weight sagged the canvas and buckled the legs. We just replaced the canvas and two legs and used the rest for another couple years.

I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall. The heavier snow took a little bit more care so as not to trip the circuit breaker, but it handled packed and wet slushy snow just fine. This morning I cleared a 150x45 parking area for a local church without any trouble at all. It kept up well with a gas powered snow blower! I had to be careful when attacking the packed clumps of snow along the edge where the county snow plows had been, but this little snow beast didn't skip a beat. One tip - check the blades after a couple of hours of use and make sure to tighten any which are loose. I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall.

I don't have experience with the snow, but mine is adequate for the rain. I am pleased with this product so far and consider it a small investment to protect my mower.

I have it on my truck non stop. I don't live in the snow, but it's rained and I take it thru carwashes often! I think it would hold up well, but don't know how much weight of snow it wos support. My guess is quit a bit! It's sturdy!

I have not tried snow , but I have hilly terrain so I mounted tires and put 3 gal liquid in each tire with 10 lb air and it does great. I think they will do good in snow. good luck BILL WARD.

It doesn't have a very strong blow but it does ok on pine needles, I've never tried it for snow. Might be ok for light snow.

We've had more snow than I have ever seen in my life this winter. I live dead center on a culdasac and it is still standing. I placed it over an existing 4x4 post from my previous mailbox. Very happy with the look and durability.

I do not live anyplace where it is going to snow on a camping trip, but based on the size of the poles and the tension that the tent is erected with, I would say it will hold up to snow pretty well.
