Can I use this product on my driveway for protection during the winter months (freezing, salt, etc.)?

Yes! Once cured, RadonSeal makes concrete denser and stronger so it is often used for the preservation and protection of outdoor concrete driveways, sidewalks, parking areas, building, and structures.

If the bricks are bedded in sand it may not be a good idea as it will blow the sand out of the cracks, and the uneven surface may make it difficult to move the unit easily. Works very well on my driveway even in areas where the surface has salt damage, just doesn't move as freely over the damaged areas. I agree with Daniel R.

I use it only for applying salt in the winter. I find that a little maintenance goes a long way, such as cleaning the spreader with water and occasionally putting some oil in the cable housing (at both ends) to keep the cable moving freely.

I used it to seal cracks on my driveway and it has stood up to the elements for at least five years. I think that if you prep the area and apply an even coat that it would hold. It stays rubbery when dry. You may want to try it on a small obscure spot first.

No matter what kind of salt you use, the openings in the bottom are adjustable to allow the salt to fall through. It does the job, when there are no other options. Its a good little piece of equipment for the money. Driveway, or sidewalk. Not for a large area. Also, it takes care of areas that you cannot get machinery into. We actually have gone to a farm seed spreader for driveways, using salt. You would kill yourself if its a 500-1000 ft driveway. Steve

I use mine outdoors. I coated with a layer of "mineral oil". I live in Las Vegas, so we do not have severe winters. Hope that helps!

I also use these during the summer hot months, before I seal my driveway. I make sure to add the asphalt seal around all edges so the snow shovel or plow does not have anything to grab. Otherwise, I just use crack filler around the edges once it is in place to cover/seal the edges. I have some of these strips that have been on for over 7 years. Each layer of driveway seal covers then more so the older ones are invisible. I highly recommend them.

The kit is designed to keep pipes from freezing but probably does not generate enough heat to keep your dish free from snow. It might also cause interference with your signal. You might be better off coating the dish with wax. I use a wax on my snow shovel and it keeps the snow from sticking to it. The angle of the dish should do the work of letting the snow fall off. The other thing that many do in snow areas (like where I live) is to put a cover over the dish and boom which keeps snow off the dish. Some just use plastic trash bags, others have found canvas or synthetic covers that they have used with success.

I am not sure if the Temperature during winter will affect the unit. And ofcourse, this unit must be protect from rain and snow. I do not think it is a reliable device to be used outside.

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.

I use it on my deck every snowstorm, no issues. Take this advice, before you use it, spray the inside of the blower, auger too, with WD40, it will prevent the snow from sticking inside.

If you want to use insulation only...I don't think it will keep it from freezing. If you wrap it with Heat Tape and insulation...yes, it will keep it from freezing. Heat tape works great on jobs like that.

I do not believe this is designed to provide any insulation in the winter. It is designed to reduce sunlight thru the window to keep sun out in the summer. It may actually keep you from getting the warmth of the sun in the winter.

No problem. Bare ground can be used on anything. Is does no harm to plants or animals. It melts snow and ice down to -20 degrees. You can spray it on before or after it snows.

I use mine for both summer and winter..it is very well built and made covering for the winter much easier.

I have just installed the box and haven't been in winter weather with it yet. I am planning to install a sheet metal cover over it and will be o.k. if I keep it dry.
