do you have to bring it in for the winter

It's a box of wood. So treat it like any other box of wood that doesn't catch bees.

It didn't work for me at all. Carpenter bees drilled holes all around it! Evidently my wood was more appealing than the little box. Yes, I'll take it down FOREVER.

I asked a friend in Alabama and she told me it would have to winter inside. But I lost mine to an early frost :(

This is the first year I've owned it & I brought it in for the winter. I live in Maine.

Yes! Left it out all year in all kinds of weather and it looks great! Must take pillows in, of course.

It says it should not be left up in cold environments. I did read a few reviews that said they left it up so we are trying it this year. We are located in Northwest Ohio where winters can be either harsh or mild and this year has been more mild. Will know more this spring when the cover is removed.

I have had mine a couple years and leave it out in the winter, too. So far, I have not seen any deterioration in how it looks or its performance.

It snows a bit here where I live and we leave ours up all year. Just make sure that you winterize yours with the proper chemicals, before covering for the winter. It makes life a lot easier come spring time.

Nope. But you can put in in the garage for the winter, or bring it inside. Also, I'd recommend buying from a plant store. You really want to see what you're getting!

With proper ventilation (to keep your roof cold) and insulation (so house air doesn't warm it up) you shouldn't have any ice damns so will be OK. I redid all that on my place before installing the guard, so don't know how it does with heavy damning. Without damning it has held up fine in the snow.

Bring an extra blanket if using outside. I only used it indoors and it always keeps me warm. Never used it in extreme cold.

I don't believe you have to do that but I'm not positive. This is my first winter with the cover. We are in central New York and are going through a real rough winter and the cover seems to be holding up very well though.

I wouldn't think so. It is made very well however it would be breakable if that cold. I bring mine in during late fall.

Go ahead and plant it. You are probably warm enough for it to survive the winter. If there is going to be a cold snap I would cover it. We live in RI and bring it in during the winter.

It has just started to get cold where I am and it is a lighter comforter. We will need an extra blanket for winter. Just an FYI

Hi, You would likely need a heater in the winter to keep the temperature regulated to the needs of your plants.

I would say that depends on your local weather. If it may freeze, I'd recommend a pot so you can pull it inside over the coldest months.

This question is older but in case the original poster or someone else still wants an answer: Yes, you can set it up outside in the winter. I would recommend putting a tarp under it to keep the bottom dry. Don't leave it out to get damp. If it does get damp / wet, set it up in your garage or similar covered area and run it till it is dry. You do not want to fold it up and put it away with it being damp. Also, I know this may be obvious, but don't set it up and run it in the rain.
