Will this canopy carpot withstand winter weather, snow and ice?

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

We haven't had a chance to test it in winter yet We leave the frame stacked in and take the canopy off. Used primarily to keep the sun away

I purchased this canopy for my Boy Scout Troop to use as a dining fly/weather shelter for camping trips. A week-long summer camp is the only test this shelter had, and it performed adequately through hot muggy weather and plenty of rain. The Scouts figured out the setup without much trouble. Since July weather is all this item has seen, I cannot comment on winter performance.

We used it for our Christmas decorations outside and had no problems at all. It was a very cold and snowy winter as well.

well we don't have snow in San Diego but we do get some good winds I have 6 I bolts with a rope going over the top rail and that has held up for two years. it is built better than most canopy's i looked at thicker tarp and lager poles our stays up year round.

I was actually surprised with the durability of this plastic. It withstands the wind well as long as there are no sagging parts or loose ends for the wind to grab. However it does not withstand weather during the winter in colder places, mine became brittle under freezing conditions but i think it would work fine long term in a tropical environment, hope this helps.

Just bought it this summer, no experience with snow yet, but the frame is strong and it has a good pitch, snow should slide off.

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.

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.

it lasted about a year and shredded from Arizona winds. I have no idea on snow but it is not waterproof.i had it mainly to keep sun off, it did that for a while, now junk.

I am not sure if the Temperature during winter will affect the unit. And ofcourse, this unit must be protect from rain and snow. I do not think it is a reliable device to be used outside.

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!

Good question, but I'm not the one to ask unfortunately. I purchased it in the fall and it been freezing and cold here in the N.E. Based on its construction, which is fairly heavy duty plastic of a honeycomb type nature (its not solid plastic but has cavities between the inner and out layers) I would imagine it would hold up well.

I am not sure and as we live in ND and it is cold outside and our canopy is in a storage building right now, I cannot tell you. I will say that we used our canopy for 7 days at the fair this summer and every day we had violent thunderstorms with very severe wind. It stood up to all that mother nature could throw at it and came away still looking brand new. The only thing we did was put heavy sandbags on every leg and stake it down very securely. I would buy it again!

Hi Patrick I have this cover and it has been out in the snow and sun and still looks great. It is a great quality cover and I am very happy with it

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.

I left two outside all winter. We had severe winds often. They are attached to my wood patio awning and a tree. No damage to the wood structure (built like a deck) however one of the shades tore at the corner. The other weathered everything and is still hanging.

most likely, it's a great tent but you might need better stakes for snow or high wind. structurally it should be plenty strong.

Yes. No. No this product will not survive the punishment from passing snow plows pushing snow off the road. It is going to require some type of protection to block the snow being plowed off the road.
