How will this shelter hold up under snow?

This shelter holds up great in the snow. I would make sure to knock the snow off the top once it is at about 1 foot high.This will decrease the amount of weight sitting on top of the shelter..Also be careful when shoving off snow not to rip through the shelter.

My Shelterlogic held up very well against the snow. I would go out and shake off the snow, but at times there was at least 3-4 inches on roof and never caved in.

It will do OK in wind. My previous one was anchored to the ground by burying the feet and held up OK in 70 MPH gusts. heavy snow can be a problem as they get older and the tarp starts to sag a little. I tend to go out with a broom and bump off the snow from the underside if we get more than an inch or so.

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.

I bought it to store wood under. We live on top of a mountain. We had 60 mile an hour winds at times and got over 2 feet of snow fall last winter. I was amazed by how well it held up. I had absolutely no problems with it.

My opinion is that once it is completely assembled it seems pretty sturdy. Are we talking 6 inches of snow or six feet? I might be more worried about hailstones denting it. For under 400 dollars I feel this shed is well worth it.

I only bought mine earlier this year so it hasn't been through a cold snowy winter here yet but I think it will stand up to it quite well. It's a very thick two ply plastic with mesh between the layers. I think it would do great in SC.

I don't use it in the rain so I can't answer how it would hold up. Works fine in cold weather.

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.

It's sturdy and the surface area of the roof is not that big. I don't think snow load is an issue.Can't say how it will do long term in very cold temps. My brother has a similar unit he has owned for probably 10 years. He has moved it 2x. It is holding up great. He is just north of NYC so below zero is not common.It is not hard to put together, but my 10 y.o. helped and he had to kick something to get everything to line up and he broke off a small piece.It is still sturdy despite that. I am very happy with it.

I would say it it's covered under a small roof out of the elements it should be fine. I mounted in the hallway and it seems to hold up over the winter.

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.

I had it outside for the summer through the fall and it endured a number of rainstorms. I haven't tried keeping it out in the winter, but I think it would do fairly well. The metal is strong and has a good powder coating on it, though I wouldn't press my luck if it was going to come in contact with salt over the winter. Regardless, it's easy enough to disassemble and store in a garage or basement.

We haven't had any snow yet so that I can't fully answer, but it has held up really well against the couple of storms we have had lately. There have been at least three high wind/hard rain storms and it has held up great on the side of our house.

Good question. The top of this canopy is a thick canvas and the base is connected by bolts. Though it has held up for me very well over the past two years, I doubt this will fair well under snow loading.

yes it is, I just went camping in late November. I set the tent up with snow on the ground and on the second night about 2 inches of new snow fell and I had no problems. I camped last year with this tent in the rain and then in the bitter cold and for the price this tent is great. I use a candle lantern (nine hour candle) and it helps keeping warm. only thing I did this time was put a folded tarp under tent just to have more between me and the frozen ground. enjoy..

Have not used it in snow yet. I anticipate that it will work fine as long as the snow is not really deep.
