Is it a tough exterior? My daughter is a farmer.

I have to beg to differ. I have a 5 acre property with two horses, I ride at another barn where I keep my own horse, and then I work at a barn with 18 horses. You get the picture, lots of barns, lots of wear and tear. This coat has held up incredibly well, washes extremely well, and is still just fine after a few years of near daily fall and winter use. I am looking possibly get another "non-barn" jacket here.

I wouldn't recommend it for her, because it snags pretty easily. As my husband said, "It's no Carhartt".

I don't believe it is particularly 'tough' if you are asking if it would hold up to repeated abrasive wear. It has the same texture as a windbreaker. That, combined with the reflective interior material, makes it very effective though.

I didnt Support it when I first got it and heavy wind it blew over but didnt break. After I mounted it to on one side and a bouganvillia grew up the other side its sturdy and secure. It's pretty thick so if your are mounting the bottom of the legs with or in concrete I would say yes no issue. Or if the fence thats in concete is being attached to the sides of th arbor.

I believe so. My grandson has not complained about it. We've had some heavy rains the last few weeks.

We actually just put tis together last week so we are unsure how durable it will be in inclement weather but we will find out I guess. We live in upstate NY so certainly share your concerns. Sorry I couldn't help you out.

Mainly camp in wooded areas, so I can't really speak to how hot it gets in direct sun with no wind. We did put it up a few times in an open spot. I found it to be one of the best items we have bought. Sturdy and it is all mesh except for the roof. The walls are nearly perpendicular. So headspace even if it rains. But it isn't really a dark color. It's a light greenish tan. Like the definition of khaki. So I guess I have not found this to be an issue.

We just got ours 2 weeks ago, but were very pleased with how sturdy it is, I think it will hold up for years to come. And yes I think it would handle the snow no problem. It's also very spacious for a 2 to 4 bird coop, we are very impressed with the house.

It is pretty sturdy all right, but uncertain about snow load. You would need to ask the company about that. I have kept mine up all year with rain and wind and no damage. I love Coolaroo.

I think so. We've had some pretty hard winds and rain and it's been great! It is under the edge of our camper awning but everything else would be soaked and the box never leaked.

It's sturdy... But here in AZ the only rain we get is monsoons and it wouldn't last thru that. Light rain/wind would be okay. But it folds really easily so when you're done using it you could just fold it and lean it against a wall.... Would be fine like that.

It's a great screen but I think with a lot of wind you are going to need to buy some stakes and pound them in, it's pretty fluffy so I imagine the wind could reek havoc on it.

Yesterday I was at a crafts fair in the mountains and it started to rain, I was able to keep myself and my merchandise dry! I have never been in severe weather, but I think it holds up pretty good for moderate rain!

Ours has been primarily outdoors as well and it seems to be holding up just fine. More than likely, though, you will end up needing to replace the rubber top more frequently if it gets a lot on direct sunlight.

I have not had any problems even in high winds. I just raked out the dirt a little deeper, pushed it in the ground and covered it with the remaining dirt. The bottom has two prongs formed like an H and it is very secure. I planted flowers around the base and it is just beautiful!

Hello - It's still holding up strong on my mother-in-laws front porch. Her porch is not enclosed, but has a roof. It has faced all the weather elements over the year and still looks great. For the price we paid, we couldn't pass it up. Good luck!

Well, it depends in part where you're using it and how much it's going to have to stand from wind/rain/etc. I put some on a chicken coop over a year ago and most of it looks just like the day I put in on. One side gets more of the weather, and I probably needed to give it an extra coat as a result, but it still looks pretty decent. I'm sure there are more durable options, but for a water-based product this is impressive.

I work on smooth surfaces and grass; don't know about dirt. I think it would become mired in wetness but should be ok when dry. She may not be able to 'scoot' it along as easily in dirt.
