Since it is plastic, does it get brittle or does it survive through winter months?

I have not had it up thru the winter yet but it has done a great job up to this point. I put the double decker hummingbird feeder on it and with great success. I check the suction cups when I go to put food in all my feeders and like I said I am very please with this hanger.

I have only had this hanger for a couple of months so far. It seems to be doing fine. Hopefully it will hold up in the winter months!

I haven't had it through a winter yet. I will bring mine in for winter because humming birds migrate south. I did have it in a bad spot for wind and it got blown off, but did not damage it at all. I have now stuck it to a window that doesn't get as much wind and it has been there for a few months not with no issues at all.

I had it outside for the summer through the fall and it endured a number of rainstorms. I haven't tried keeping it out in the winter, but I think it would do fairly well. The metal is strong and has a good powder coating on it, though I wouldn't press my luck if it was going to come in contact with salt over the winter. Regardless, it's easy enough to disassemble and store in a garage or basement.

I only bought mine earlier this year so it hasn't been through a cold snowy winter here yet but I think it will stand up to it quite well. It's a very thick two ply plastic with mesh between the layers. I think it would do great in SC.

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 use it indoors, I am not sure it is sturdy enough to handle any weather situation. I am pretty sure the air filter on the top would let water pass through, which would be a mess. The plastic may not stand up to extreme cold.

It holds up fine as long as you scrape the heavy snow off it. That is until the material degrades which in my case only took a few years.

It has survived a full winter quite nicely. No cracking or discoloring or anything but a little dirt from all of the wind we get. We are very happy with it.

All plastics will become brottle during sub-zero temperatures. If the trash container is not used or is only lightly used in Winter it should hold up well. These appear to be very durable, but if the trash collecter bangs the container against the truck and throws it back against the curb it won't matter where you live.

I am using it indoor. Not sure whether it can resist the cold weather or not.

Keep in mind that this is inflated heavy duty plastic. Like most plastic things when they get too cold, they crack. I wouldn't risk it in really cold weather. We live in Florida and take ours down in November. If you want one for colder weather, you'd have to go with a hard sided one. That will be my next choice.

They do become brittle. If you don't step on or drop they may be ok. This happens when left in sub freezing tewmp outside.

I have not had any problems with fading or cracking while using it outside. It does not stay flexible when it is cold outside; below freezing though.

I leave mine outside until winter in a Northern ocean climate. It gets rough treatment and does well. When it is closed, it should survive ice and snow.

That is a tough question. I can tell you the material is a woven mesh both inside and out. There isn't that plastic on the inside that gets brittle in the cold and breaks apart. We get some snow here but haven't had any recently so tough to judge. We do get a lot of rain and it is doing well in that. Also the colors faded much faster than I expected.

While it can withstand snow, as it melts it will go right through. I keep mine on all year as it keeps away most spring to fall debris and add a winter cover on top of it. I love this cover.. great purchase.

We have had ours up for nearly a year. It weathers very well winter and summer. Only concern for us is if we have strong winds and a branch falls, it slices the plastic pretty easily. We put a layer of clear hard plastic roofing material on the top of the greenhouse to give it greater strength and covered it with the plastic. The plastic itself wears well for 3 to 4 years. Of course, depending on your weather where you are...

They are made of plastic, but after having used this through a very cold New England winter are still holding up well and haven't snapped.
