How well does it stand up in the snow? My boyfriend thinks it will cave in under the snow.

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.

My opinion is that once it is completely assembled it seems pretty sturdy. Are we talking 6 inches of snow or six feet? I might be more worried about hailstones denting it. For under 400 dollars I feel this shed is well worth it.

I use mine as a stand-a-lone. It went thru the entire winter with all the snow and wind and did not fall over. I really like it a lot, well made

I have not had a problem with this cover. I live in Columbus ,OH. We have 5.5 " of snow on it right now . Wind chill factor is 7*,so I haven't been out much.

I cannot attest to whether this is good for the winter, as we have no experience with that. I suspect due to the tent's shape, snow will not accumulate on the top and it should do well. It is free standing but would require stakes on the ground if it is very windy. The stakes that came with it are small, but bigger ones are easy to get for little cost.

I kept mine out over the winter. We had a couple of heavy snowstorms. Not a problem. As far as rain, airtight so far -- have had it about a year.

Yes it does, it has a couple of addition support rods underneath, as well as the support in near the front towards the cab and near the talgate where it secured with the latches. I haven't had it in the snow, but outside of some major snowfall, it looks as though it can handle the more typical amonts, although I would still brush off the snow.

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!

Yes, it closes solidly. Now if you have snow pack up against it, there may be some water leakage around the edges.

It is not insulated for very cold weather. there are dual flaps, but they do let the cold in. Not sure about snow as ours is under a covered porch.

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.

It will do OK in wind. My previous one was anchored to the ground by burying the feet and held up OK in 70 MPH gusts. heavy snow can be a problem as they get older and the tarp starts to sag a little. I tend to go out with a broom and bump off the snow from the underside if we get more than an inch or so.

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.

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.

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

It is sturdy and well-made. I have not had mine through a winter, but I don't think I would leave it outside with water in it - - anything might crack if it freezes where you live.

As long as it's covered and protective by rain or snow ... You should be OK. It's not adapted to be laying on the ground outside for sure. It truly works like a charm. Hope that helped. Happy shopping!

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.
