Would this survive a Minnesota summer and, even more importantly, a Minnesota winter?

It has stood up just fine for us. Was on the deck all winter.. I just brushed off the snow everytime i was out there clearing off the deck.. Looks good as new, and kept everything dry!

Since I live in Minnesota - I can say yes. Yes it can :) It's ideal actually.

Weather will not be a factor on this box. It's solidly constructed, injection molded plastic. It doesn't become brittle when cold.

We have had it a couple of years. It sat out through our awful Midwest winters. Haven't seen any problems so far.

Not a problem. It works great in all weather. I live in Northern MN and it does get cold and it keeps working.

I'm in Minneapolis, which you probably think of as cold, but it gets super hot and humid in the summer. Mine stayed on all summer.

As long as it doesn't fill with water, you should be fine. The plastic is weatherproof, but will be more brittle with low temps.

I leave it outside all summer. Has held up well. I took it in for the winter though.

Keep in doors the tree cannot handle extreme cold if you live in Minnesota it gets extremely cold here but below Iowa it can handle that climite

Definitely. The sides under the fly are completely mesh, it would be extremely cold with the slightest winter breeze.

I was actually surprised with the durability of this plastic. It withstands the wind well as long as there are no sagging parts or loose ends for the wind to grab. However it does not withstand weather during the winter in colder places, mine became brittle under freezing conditions but i think it would work fine long term in a tropical environment, hope this helps.

You can leave as is. It will weather, of course, but it won't rot. We're on year 4 for several of ours, and North Dakota winters are rough.

We've had ours for a year now. We love it. Our truck is also outside in Minnesota 24/7! Very durable so far! :)

Probably! It would be a gigantic ice brick though. It holds up well against extreme temperatures.

We haven't time tested it in the weather for long periods but I would think it would hold up fairly well.

I am using mine for the second year. I live in Michigan so it held up through a brutal winter uncovered! I believe it will last for at least 5-6 yrs!

I doubt it will survive long in extreme temps, especially if exposed directly to the elements. The wood is not solid enough to withstand the expansion and contraction of the wood around the smaller screws. This hutch is better suited for indoor or warmer conditions.

The unit looks brand new and has been in the ground for about a full season. From 100F direct sun in the summer to -26F blowing snow and wind in the winter, I can see no visible degradation.

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.
