how much snow will roof hold

I can't say in inches...but we just went through the worst winter in 20 years in Albany, and mine held up so well that this spring my neighbor went out and bought the exact same one.

I have a 12x12x8 and it caved in with 8 in. Of snow on it. The peak angle is not enough for the snow to slide off.

Mine held up to a rough Michigan winter. You're supposed to knock off excess snow throughout the season but I only did that if it was more than about 4 inches at a time

Inches of snow probably ok but heavy wet snow will crush the flexible plastic dome on top, and yes these things will leak but only from wind driven rain, the water blows up the roof line and up under the dome and in. not that much but enough to damage the motor, I have two of these and both motors seized up after two summers, I replaced them with a non chinese motors in the existing domes.

They will take a snow load as long as they are attached to the roof. But they should or need to be cleaned to work properly.

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.

Yes, I have had 3 feet of snow on the roof with no problem. The fan housing coners a 3 inch lip above the roof and the gap is screened to keep out bugs. When the snow melts, the runoff is directed away from the opening

Yes. I have had mine for about a year. However, you should note that when you have a 50-60 MPH wind event, you'll have to inspect the structure as the poles may come apart. I think this is reasonable. And, you'll need a broom to coax a snow or ice load off the roof's surface day to day. Accumulation of ice is accute at the edge of the roof and must be periodically inspected and maticulously removed.Tom Lehmann

I don't know wihat the snow weight limit is, but I plan to keep mine up over winter in southern Wisconsin. Th canopy material is strong and seems slipper enough to shed most snows. I seem to recall one of the reviewers mentioned snow and he was satisfied with it.

Richard when I can reach it I will measure for you, currently it is under 3 feet of snow! ...It is fabulous, easy to assemble, great design, inexpensive!

I'd say yes to up to 35-40 degrees provided there's enough traction for the rubber feet or some other way to keep them from sliding off the roof.

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.

Mine just collapsed last night, bringing the sides on the kennel down with it. Two panels have to be replaced now and a new roof has to be purchased. We had 6 inches of snow and another inch of ice on top. I didn't expect it to hold up.

Like i tested It can hold from 8 to 12 inches snow.But you better clean it up soon is possible.If you will use longer anchors than comes in box,you will still have your car port also after really bad wind and storm weather.Just follow this three steps 1) KEEP IT CLEAN FROM SNOW ,2) IN BAD WEATHER ALWAYS ZIP YOUR SHELTER DOOR, 3) AFTER ENY WIND OR OTHER STORM CHECK AND TIGHT EVERYTHING.

We don't live in a heavy snow fall area but I moved here from my, so I understand the fear. I think it would be fine. The shed actually comes with three cross beams that the roof is a to. Also, while putting ours together, it fell over and we had to say out portions of it. It's still fine. It did rip in one corner but it was our fault for not screwing it down to something when it git to windy to be out finishing it. So, if it still up after the wind knocking it over, I think the snow will be no problem. Plus it's short enough you could use a broom to just push the snow right off. No problem. Anyway, the cross beams are made of aluminum but they are strong cause they are i beams.

Yes, but you don't want to push down onto the wires. I tend to rake most of the snow, leaving about 2 inches of snow on the roof. Obviously you have to be careful or you can pull the wires out of the roof.

I live a few houses off the lake in NH, and it held up ok for the first year in wind and snow. I have a few rooftop units. I did notice a little tear where it clearly caught a sharp edge...I don't know that any cover would hold to that. I'll duct tape it this year and I'm sure it will be fine.

The supports are close together so the snow should not be a problem. The first ShelterLogic I had lasted for 5 years then started getting holes in it.

I agree with the other responses. When installed and clipped to the roof shinges in the summertime the cables lie on the roof and stay there. They will not lift or move during a heavy snowfall. I would like to mention that even though during a heavy snow the cables will not melt all the way to the top, they will continue keep open channels at the surface of the roof which allows the melted water to flow underneath the heavy snowfall. Because of this you will not get ice build up on the eaves. Mine have been installed for 2 years and continue to function and are still secured in the orignial location. Upstate NY, it snows here.
