Can this greenhouse be used during winter in a snowy climate?

This is a three season greenhouse. It is designed to stand up to snow and cold temperatures, but should only be used from spring to fall.

I don't see why not. I live in Los Angeles so the worst weather we see is heavy rain, but it's very sturdy and stands up to high wind - the kind that knock trees over and whatnot. There's a window on the roof that opens and closes, so you could easily keep it shut during bad weather. Overall an excellent greenhouse.

The pot is flimsy. You would need to replace it. Wintergreen is designed to be a ground cover plant and would do best if you planted directly in the ground.

It does hold up well to sun, wind, and cold weather conditions. We used it to cover a greenhouse we constructed.

I would definitely move the plants indoors before frost. They will not survive the winter or a hard freeze.

This would look stunning if your box is in the right climate. Put mine in an outside planter and they all froze. So not winter harder. I did love the great collection of plants that I received.

Hi I live in NJ and we can get a lot of snow in winter time. I planted mine on the ground and it's thriving well. I also have a bigger one now 4 yrs old. Both are planted on ground.

IMHO, Absolutely! I have used mine for over a year...outside. It is mounted on the corner of the house, beneath the over hang from the roof. It has snowed, hailed and experienced negative Fahrenheit temperatures this winter with no trouble at all.

No. Since the plant is very watery it will freeze and die. If temps drop below 40F you must find a way to keep them warm by means of a green house or shelter.

I don't know if it will survive in cold climates. I keep mine in my indoor covered patio which is pretty warm in the summer but could get cold during winter...maybe in the 40's. But my plant has not gone thru winter yet. I got mine end of February and so far it is doing very well. I soak it in water for about half an hour once a week.

Don't see why not. It does not provide heat, only light, so plants need to be protected from the cold.

Yes it works well in the winter, the canopy is very sturdy and held up with the weight of snow, it didn't seem to have any problems.

I live in Texas so heating is not an issue. On cool nights here I use a lightbulb and this is enough to keep it warm. You should be able to figure something out. I Hang my bulb from a heat lamp by a metal clip from the center frame. I would not say this greenhouse is the most airtight thing out there.

Never tried... But be careful, if u live in a windy area, this greenhouse will not hold up very much

When the temp. dips below freezing, I use a 250 watt red heat lamp that I have hanging in the greenhouse. My plants are doing great. I still have a tomato plant, still producing from last spring. I don't know if the lamp is necessary, but it sure does not hurt. I love my greenhouse. I hope this info helps.

I used a small heater in mine - one that operated on a thermostat. It saved my plants when we had temperatures in the teens and twenties. Be careful where you place the heater of course, with all the plastic parts. I put mine on a concrete block in the center of the greenhouse and it did perfectly fine. If the oil type space heater is a radiator style, it should be fine. If it has open flame, I would not use it because of the exhaust produced. M Miller

We left ours outside in Ohio through the winter. I was surprised how well it held up through all the snow and ice. There are some evidence of wear but that comes with the elements of being outside. It is small enough that you could bring in the garage in the winter but I do not think that would be nessecary. When it rains sometimes the windows do not shut because the wood expands, but they always go back to normal once it dries up. Good Playhouse for the price.

Hi, yes it can. I bought one last year and had a successful 24'x8' wide greenhouse overwintering tropicals. Just started it again tonight.
