Can this tent be used during the winter?

I would say yes, just be sure to have the proper sleeping bag for the temperature. It is very sturdy, and water resistant.

Certainly! I use the tent as a 3.5 season tent. It gas performed very well for me, on rain, in snow, in hit humid conditions and in temps in the upper teens/ low 20s.

You should look for a 4 season tent if you plan to camp in winter storms. Not sure id recommend this tent for any precipitation other than rain and winds <15mph.

We do not keep it up during winter months....going on the third year of using it. Tie it down with tent stakes. One of the best purchases we have made!!!! THANK YOU AMAZON!!

Yes, but you will need to have enough room to do so. This tent is great and so easy to set up and take down

I do not live anyplace where it is going to snow on a camping trip, but based on the size of the poles and the tension that the tent is erected with, I would say it will hold up to snow pretty well.

Not a weather proof tent but most certainly could be used outside. Only flaw we have with it is kids climbing on the outside and breaking the wood poles material is holding up great

I have used it camping this year set up on snow and it did fine. No leaks, I do recommend Using a pad or something under your sleeping gear to provide insulation i have also camped in some pretty strong wind and again it did fine. I'm very pleased with my tent. Hope this helps.

Depends on how high the mountain is. There is a perpetual draft through the screen at the top of the tent - there is no zipper where you can close them with another layer of tent material - so it is not good for cold nights. I took this to Yellowstone at the end of the summer and froze my arse off.

Well for my use it is. There isn't any snow or really harsh weather, so yes for my use it is a four season tent and it is free standing.

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!!

It's not a 4 season tent. I used it down to the mid 20s and would say I was pushing it as far as being comfortable. It did keep the rain and sleet off, but any colder and it would not be comfortable to me. Pretty much the upper 2/3 of the tent is all mesh unless the rain fly is used.

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.

Yes. I was able to use it a few times last winter. I would highly recommend.

Personally, I haven't tried this tent in all four season. But I wouldn't go camping in the winter with it.

Yes! I'm a Scout leader and have been using this tent since last Sept. and it has been a work horse. I will admit, I did not use it during the heat of this summer, but I did take it out in January. It has survived Storms that most other tents I've used would have had water flowing across the bottom. I've used it in temps as low as 26. BSA does not allow us to use heaters, so that's never been test and why we use 3 season tents in the winter.

I wouldn't recommend this tent in the snow or the wind. This Tent NEEDS to be staked down to stay up (not sure it would hold the weight of snow or gusts of wind. But is has a nice water proof base that comes up about a foot on the edges, so rain is ok.
