I live near beach, a lot of wind and at times (during the winter) heavy snow, will this hold up?

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.

We get Major storms in summer heavy rain and wind so far so good Hope this helps Regards Ann

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 use it as a dock cover and use tie downs to keep it in place for wind. It is light aluminum tubing, works for light duty..def would not work for heavy snow.

Hi, I cannot comment on the snow aspect [especially living in Florida] but it stands up pretty gusty winds. This actually is our 2nd King canopy,the 1st one was 10ft x12ft and it lasted 4 yrs,till the canopy gave out,not bad in our heat sun & wind.This new one is 10ft x 12ft and has a 6 pole system instead of 4,they are well made and easy to erect,we may actually buy a spare canopy $49 dollars,good to have as a spare. Hope this has been of help. Ann & Ken Owen. Florida.

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

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.

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.

I dont think it will withstand wind without some kind of support Even if you put sand bags on the legs I would think you should still tie down to keep it stable at the top.....

high winds? Yes, if it is anchored down. All structures should be cleared of to much snow, small amounts it will handle.

We haven't had it through the winter yet but it has held up well during lots of pretty heavy rain storms and wind. It's fairly heavy so I'm really not too concerned about the snow. I certainly plan on leaving it out and we live in Ohio. I'm very satisfied with this. Just be careful you order the right size - there are two sizes and I didn't notice it the 1st time I ordered.

I would not plan on it for winter. The posts are strong enough for it but the covering MIGHT last one winter. My personal advice is do not plan on for winter. Heavy rains oh yes as we've had some already!!

I use it for storm windows in my screen house. We get heavy winds and snow here in the north east. It held up fairly well last winter. However I would be concerned about hou much weight it could carry should it snow or if you get heavy winds. Hope this helps. Good luck

It looks like it could withstand an occasional rain or light snow storm. I wouldn't let it sit outside the whole summer without protection, nor let snow pile up around it. Nonetheless, this is just my speculation as I've never had opportunity for it to get rained or snowed upon.

snow won't hurt it, but it a mesh screen-like material, so rain and snow would go right thru it!

Quite well. In fact I've had mine outside for the last couple years now - through "polar vortex" and mid summer heat and it's held up extremely well. Quite sturdy.

Yes, it can handle strong wind. We loved ours in all weather. In fact, ours did well until the snows hit. We got a foot of snow and ours crumples like an accordion. It was about 10 months old. We were very sad to lose it.

It's a very, very sturdy tarp. We had lots of snow/wind last winter and I didn't have any problems. I love it!!!!

I haven't gone through a winter with it up. I plan on leaving it up this winter as a wind block. I live in N Mississippi so our winters are not too harsh. I hope it lasts me several seasons. The quality is excellent.

This is designed to be a temporary canopy. The manufacturer says to take it down when stormy weather comes. It is not rated for snow. May hold up if you go out every day and remove all the snow from the canopy. But don't let high drifts pile up against the legs. Take a drive around your area and see if anyone up there has a similar light weight fabric canopy installed -- probably not very many. If you want a more sturdy and permanently installed canopy, look at the all metal types.

I have it put away til i need it next. I would not think it would hold up to winter conditions.

Depends on the storm honestly. Some light snow or wind shouldn't bother it. But if you're thinking more extreme get a 4 season tent built to take the abuse.
