Can it be left up all the time,will it be OK in winds or snow

I have had mine up for over a year without any issue. I also bolted it down. If it snows you will need to clear the roof if its more than two inches. This can be accomplished by used a push broom and pushing on on the inside of the roof. Hope this helps

It can stay up all the time, you may be able to keep it up during windstorms I would have to guess under 20mph to 30mph wind provided you anchor it properly to the ground and your Shelterlogic is fully enclosed. I have no idea how it will work with snow as we don't get snow where I live.

The instructions specifically say that it is a temporary shelter. However I bought mine as permanent shelter for my boat, it's been up for a year now, when it snows, I clean the snow off before it gets too heavy, and it has tolerated 40 mph winds, but in all this will break under severe conditions.

The frame can be left up, but I would take down the cover for the winter or if you are expecting a storm with high winds.

The frame will be fine, mine has been up since I bought it. However the cover will not hold up well to heavy snow, strong winds, or extended weather. If you plan to leave the cover on year round be sure to securely fasten the frame to the ground and expect to replace the cover the after a couple years.

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!

We have not had this long enough to answer but would probably last longer by storing it over the winter. We are in the Palm Desert, CA area, and will bring it in over the heat and direct sun when we leave for an extended time. It is supposed to stand up to the weather but it is easy to move and store.

I have never stored or left mine outside. It is very well made, very well insulated, and doesn't get stiff or crack when laying in the snow and very cold weather!!! You would have to seal plug connections, but in my opinion, it should serve your purpose!!!

Ah, in that case, I would leave it up. You probably have the best weather in the nation. Keep it up if it's not in your way and if you plan on using it all year long! We can only use it about 3 months each year in NJ.

Not sure, if your only putting it out there temporarily it should be ok. Leaving it out there long-term I don't think it could take the weather

I've had mine for 2 years now. I left it outside over the summer. It's heavy duty. Looks great. And shouldn't tip over with high winds or squirrels.

Well, i have only had it up for a couple of months so can say for sure. I can say, however, that the two months it has been up has been the coldest and wintery-est we have had in a long time and it seems to be holding up fine. It is quite light, as a unit, but has a broad face so strong winds will, potentially, tip it. What i have seen some folks do on the internet, and i did it as well, is tie it down with a cable or wire so that it stays were i intended to stay.

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.

Yes, it can be left outdoors in the rain, but we like to bring it indoors if we're expecting very heavy rain, just to be safe. I wouldn't leave it out in the winter if your area gets cold and snowy.

It snows a bit here where I live and we leave ours up all year. Just make sure that you winterize yours with the proper chemicals, before covering for the winter. It makes life a lot easier come spring time.

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

Like i tested It can hold from 8 to 12 inches snow.But you better clean it up soon is possible.If you will use longer anchors than comes in box,you will still have your car port also after really bad wind and storm weather.Just follow this three steps 1) KEEP IT CLEAN FROM SNOW ,2) IN BAD WEATHER ALWAYS ZIP YOUR SHELTER DOOR, 3) AFTER ENY WIND OR OTHER STORM CHECK AND TIGHT EVERYTHING.

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

It looks great but if you keep it outside in any weather like snow it won't last. Forget any kind of wind.

If its properly installed it will stand up to winds very well. We have had winds from light to all day 25mph winds and storms up to 75mph we have had it almost a year no problems.

Yes. I have had mine for about a year. However, you should note that when you have a 50-60 MPH wind event, you'll have to inspect the structure as the poles may come apart. I think this is reasonable. And, you'll need a broom to coax a snow or ice load off the roof's surface day to day. Accumulation of ice is accute at the edge of the roof and must be periodically inspected and maticulously removed.Tom Lehmann
