Look pretty nice, but will it survive the first year of winter salt (or the snowy season)?

Not sure about the snow, but I live on the gulf coast and mine is holding up pretty good! It is heavy duty and it is very nice, the picture doesn't do it justice!

I've had these plates since May. Very pleased with them. I haven't really thought about the winter season but they are heavy. Definitely a lot nicer than the ones at Wal-Mart.

To tell you the truth!, I don't know. All I know is that I live in Albuquerque,NM and we've had our share of bad weather, and my license plate cover is still as shiny as the day I bought it. I'm really pleased with it and it's a classy piece.

Yes, this Mailbox does survive winter weather, cold, wind and rain. My Master mail box is just asbeautiful as when I bought it. I love it ! I bought this Mailbox in the winter.

I got mine last fall. I was very glad that I stained it with a good wood stain so that it held up through freezing, snow, wind, and lots of rain. I will stain it again this summer. It kept things dry.

Good question, but I'm not the one to ask unfortunately. I purchased it in the fall and it been freezing and cold here in the N.E. Based on its construction, which is fairly heavy duty plastic of a honeycomb type nature (its not solid plastic but has cavities between the inner and out layers) I would imagine it would hold up well.

I'm planning to use it year-round (although I'll throw an extra tarp over it when it snows). Seems sturdy enough to withstand.

I had it on through the winter, the welds and the stainless steel held up with out any rust. I drove through alot of snow and salt that winter and it held up.

Not sure about winter but plastic is kinda thin so it might not with stand extreme cold

I have had it now for quite some time up at a campground set up permanently. I do not keep my eye on it continuously but feel like it would be okay unless it can build up of snow, ice and more snow and ice. It has not happened yet.

I haven't had it up during the extreme cold of winter. However, it has been below freezing a couple of times this year already and it is staying just fine, so far!

I've read that as long as it's not in direct sunlight, and you rinse any salt water off, it should be fine. You just don't want to winter it like that.

I keep rock salt outside my backdoor in the winter when it snows and gets icy. I live in NJ. It is very compact and sturdy, and not clumsy. Just fill it up and save the rest in the bag.

As we get a great deal of snow, I bring the whole set in for the winter. Though I do think it would survive outdoors in mild winters.

We live in Florida so I really cannot answer to how well it will stand up in cold weather. Sorry.

We just bought ours this summer--we are in OK and don't get lots of snow. I am planning to take it apart when the weather gets cold and storing the parts in the garage.

Fine. 3 winters and still looks new. Wiring somewhat protected with plastic back enclosure. Terminals all brass plated, so better than average construction for salt

We have used it for extended periods of time and it has held up well. I would take it down in the winter months , or if your expecting high winds.

I would not plan on it for winter. The posts are strong enough for it but the covering MIGHT last one winter. My personal advice is do not plan on for winter. Heavy rains oh yes as we've had some already!!
