Will this roof hold the 12-18 inches of snow that we sometimes get in one storm? Are the interior roof supports of any real help?

The roof held up perfectly. No sag at all. The roof is steep enough too so that a lot of snow doesnt get built up.

Went through it's 1st winter in upstate NY and had up to 2 feet on it, and no issues. Structure is still in tact.

Had lots of snow in MD and the shed is just fine. Have had it two years and have been very pleased.

The manufacturer makes available a snow load kit which provides additional roof support. You can also get a kit for high wind loading.

Yes. Should be fine. Since I out mine up, we have had a couple 10-12 inch snowfalls. No problems at all. It's a pretty good shed for being resin. My wife and I out it up in a day. Watch the YouTube video. Three people would be handy. You have to use a shim when putting each wall piece up. That was tricky but the rest is pretty easy. Be careful to not strip the screw holes when doing bolts.

It can stay up all the time, you may be able to keep it up during windstorms I would have to guess under 20mph to 30mph wind provided you anchor it properly to the ground and your Shelterlogic is fully enclosed. I have no idea how it will work with snow as we don't get snow where I live.

Seems like a pretty sturdy shelter. For wind I wound add some extra tie-downs and use screw in stakes. Having said that I am not sure any shelter will stand up to a lot of wind and snow.

It is not "snow rated" but I got 6 Pittsburgh winters out of my last one- just knock the snow off from underneath- tap with a rake or snow shovel & it slides off. Never had any problems with wind since I have the leg bottoms in concrete & 6 tie lines to connect the roof to the concrete

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.

We have not had any significant snow since we have had the canopy. We have had it for almost 2 years now and is still doing great. Withstands strong winds very well.

we use ours inside the home. I don't think that it would hold up to temperature fluctuations or rain/snow very well.

We haven't had any snow yet so that I can't fully answer, but it has held up really well against the couple of storms we have had lately. There have been at least three high wind/hard rain storms and it has held up great on the side of our house.

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.

No added support is needed. The mesh is unusually ridged stainless steel with a slight linear corrugation pressed into it for added strength. Kind of reminds me of well screen, real stiff. Wet leaves that might stick on ours blow away once they dry out. fwiw-If you have ice accumulating at your roof edges you need to add either more attic floor insulation and/or ventilation in your attic to remove the warm air that's melting the roof snow. I'm not in the business, just a home owner who has learned the hard way about home care.

I just went outside to check and it is running like a charm at 18 degrees. Another good result of continuous winter use is what appears to be a lower incidence of icicles/ice dams even with the 12 inch roof soffit on my house and up to 2 feet of snow on the roof.

We've had it outside the entire time, and it has done fine. It isn't very heavy, but comparatively sturdy enough to handle thunderstorms for example. We live in the south, so i can't tell you about snow, but i hope this helps

Since I don't live where it snows my answer is not Gospel, only an educated guess. My guess is yes, it will hold 2 ft of snow as it is very sturdy and my husband thinks it will hold up in below zero temps. I hope this was helpful!!

I used several years ago, maybe 24 inches of snow on roof. Biggest problem I had was keeping from being covered with snow that came off the roof. Unit worked great. Very pleased with it. Used on 2 story house which meant I had to use a ladder to reach the highest part of roof.

It's a very sturdy tent. I don't know how much snow-load it could take. A zipper or Velcro will need to be added to the bottom of both doors before I would consider using it in rainy conditions again. -James-

I had problems with sustained winds and rain. So I imagined lots of snow but also be a problem. The side that has the single support will move around a lot in the wind and get weighed down by water.

I am in SC and we don't get snow so I wouldn't know about that, but we do gets heavy rains and it holds up just fine. I think with the poles being so big and strong it would do fine except the heaviness from the snow on the top, but they do sell replacement canopy tops for the king canopy so you wouldn't have to replace the whole thing if at all. Hope this helps!
