Hello, I would like to know if this swingset can take the sub zero cold winters. I already took down the swings, but I am worried about the slide.

I left the slide attached to the swingset, but have not used it during the winter months. The slide appears to be quite sturdy, but not sure how it would hold up through really cold temps. I believe the coldest it has been this winter is approx. +8 F. Not sure if you are in a colder climate. Not sure this info helps. My daughter has had a lot of fun on the swingset. Hopefully this ends up being maintenance free.

I live in Florida, so would have no experience with that. However, the one time I called their warranty department they were fast and friendly. I believe it has a good warranty so I would feel comfortable chancing it as an experiment.

You can not move the chute to anywhere when is cold, because it is controller by a switch on the left side, so the switch does not work and you can not move it manually. I will give you a free advice I bought a toro snow blower, same price 300% more powerfull

So far the coldest it has gotten where I live is low 50's and has stuck with no problems. I don't know about the winter yet, but don't foresee an issue.

We've used them here when it's been pretty cold. They seem to fly well in the cold. As long as it is not really windy, I don't think you will have any problems. These are extremely good quality as well!! Allan

Well it doesn't snow a lot here but when it does, it holds up very well. I've had absolutely no problems with mine. No regrets making this purchase.

i haven't tried in below zero, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't. The winder assembly is very loose, not like a bearing assembly where close tolerances can spell trouble. The result is a very easy winding unit that I doubt would be subject to extremes in temperature.

I think as long as it is not freezing cold, it may be fine, but I don't think it is safe to keep the set out in freezing temperatures. I am planning on folding up my set and bringing it indoors before winter.

The unit is definitely affected by cold weather. Since the switch stopped working on our first unit we've always been sure to bring the units inside when the weather gets to freezing.

It won't sustain a light snow load. We had 2" of snow and the supports between the side walls and the ridge pole all bent. Also the welds that hold the feet onto the uprights broke loose. I had a similar canopy for 20 years that never had an issue even in heavier snows. The metal part is not as heavy as even the parts of a chain link fence.

I don't know. it is still winter and have not used it. that question may need to the manufacturer.

I don't think the cold will impair the workings of the timer, provided it is kept out of the snow and rain. That is just an opinion based on looking at its construction. John D

We keep ours under a covered pergola. Had it out all winter and still works great. I don't think I would want it completely exposed to the elements. Snow and ice would probably ruin it.

It has worked great for us, we do have some issue with getting enough sun to recharge it, due to living in a wooded area. We have it (I am not to up on this stuff so bear with me) hooked to a battery/mighty mule gate opener and we have a gate approximately 10ft wide and it opens it just fine. So far no issue with cold temp's. We live in the Central United States. So not sure how cold it gets where you are at. Hope this helps

I have left mine out many years and it worked fine. Sometimes it would get covered with snow. It rarely gets into the teens here in Norfolk Va. But it does go below freezing a lot.

the way ours is set up the kids face the same way as the slide when on the swings- we have a wall behind the swings and there is about 5 feet beyond the farthest that any of the swingset parts reach so the kids still have plenty of room not to hit the wall...FYI this is our 3rd year with this set sitting through the Arizona summers 120+ degrees in full sun all day and it still looks great! very durable. Money well spent!

Hi Alan,I don't know. We never have cold weather here. It works fine in our shop, which seldom gets below 60 degrees.

It is large, and a bit cumbersome to move, but the awning does come off if needed. We are in the South, so snow is not a problem for us. Maybe you could store in under your deck to protect it from the snow? We LOVE this swing and use it all of the time. So glad we bought it.
