How does the cedar hold up through the rain in the winter? Does it degrade in color to a grey?

It is the same color as when I got it 2 years ago. That is in the Florida sun and rain

I have it for about two years now and it is holding up just fine. No discoloration. Keeping its original shape & color. So far.

Not sure, but I have seen the condition you refer to in many feeders I have previously owned. I bought mine as a gift for someone, and can ask them to keep an eye on the condition for me. Don't think they've owned it long enough to have seen this condition yet.

It is good. It lets some moisture through, but I had mine out in the snow and no problems, just some damp spots

We have not had any significant snow since we have had the canopy. We have had it for almost 2 years now and is still doing great. Withstands strong winds very well.

It is natural cedar. I bought 7 of them for a patio of a restaurant. Easy to assemble and hold up great

It will hold up, but you probable need to stain yearly. The wood gets dry in the winter and would start to rot if we did not stain prior to each summer.

It looks like cedar but I am not certain. We put two coats of outdoor polyurethane on it to protect it from the weather and it looks great.

Hi, I have had mine up for about 1 year, all year long, through snow, rain, wind and its still in perfect condition, no change in anything. Hope that helps

I used the teak oil as well as my sister has. Have had mine for a year now, but I had it covered since late fall. I didn't see any color running off during the rain before that.

This will be the 1st winter I have had them... I keep them outside on the patio.. They are showing signs of "weathering" but are still functional and sturdy... I must admit that during assembly I added Woodtite III glue

I kept mine out over the winter. We had a couple of heavy snowstorms. Not a problem. As far as rain, airtight so far -- have had it about a year.

Definitely! My table/bench got lots of rain this past winter and still looks almost brand-new. I do have an umbrella attached to it as I keep it as a table most of the time so I guess that has helped it get through the storms. It is a good product overall and I recommend it.

I think it's teak which is not pressure treated. Made it through the winter and still looks nice

It's held up well for me. I bring it inside in the winter and I do put a coat of the eucoliptis oil on it at the start of the season. It shows some wear from the elements but still sturdy and versatile.

We had ours from March 2015 to Sept 2015 in the Colorado climate. Ours did not show any signs of discoloration, and we had it facing West, without the shelter of a covered deck. However, it did rip horizontally in several places despite how careful we were. It felt heavy duty and we were surprised when it became ineffective so quickly. We had to throw ours away.

Yes it holds up fine in rain. I have it on my porch and it gets rained on and so far I have seen no discoloration.

I have 3 of these chairs. They come raw. I put a very deep stain and a shiny sealer on mine and they stay outside year round in Texas. It's a piece of furniture and should be stained and sealed or at least sealed if used outside and expected to last.In my opinion. Sure cedar is resistant to rot.... But impervious as previously stated is just a complete overstatement! Every cedar fence an arbor ever built will be replaced. No stain or sealer and it will be replaced much sooner!

I haven't had mine through the winter yet, but it's been outside in tons of weather since spring and it does not show any signs of rusting or weathering. It's a sturdy product, built to last. The best I've ever had. If I see anything in the future I would apply a silicone coat on the area.
