Can it be left out all year round in northern climates? Live in Chicago area

I am in Northern NJ, and just purchased mine early Spring of this year. I have every intent of leaving mine out on my deck over the Winter, as it's much too heavy to lift off of the deck to store in my garage! I went forward with my purchase, knowing that this item was going to be durable enough to brave all four seasons. This is a heavy duty, well made stand; it will endure anything and everything! You could always push it under your outdoor dining set (if you cover yours as I do), to provide it with some protection from the elements.

We just purchased this in the Spring and will leave it out in the winter in Maine-- it is filled with sand so it shouldn't be a problem.

I don't see why not, but we use this in SW Florida. Can't the manufacturer answer this for you? It is quite substantial but I don't know how it would do in freezing temps.

It survived my Virginia winter last year with no problems, and I'm betting that colder Chicago won't throw it any curves. :)

I live in the sunny south so I can't say for sure. It is sturdy plastic but you would need to consider what you used to weight it down. Obviously if water, then no. If water or snow can get inside it, then no. If it is in a protected area, probably ok. It rolls so easy, just put it up and take it out in the spring. I love mine and you will love it too.

I leave mine outside until winter in a Northern ocean climate. It gets rough treatment and does well. When it is closed, it should survive ice and snow.

Absolutely. I left it out all year and I live in Boston. No issues. Great purchase.

Depends on which part of the country you live in, If you do not get snow and freezes it can stay up all year\

I have left mine out many years and it worked fine. Sometimes it would get covered with snow. It rarely gets into the teens here in Norfolk Va. But it does go below freezing a lot.

I live in upstate NY and plan to bring it inside in the winter. It looks/feels pretty durable, I'm sure it would be fine if it was covered.

I use mine year round BUT I'm in Louisianna-- we hit Temps around 10deg last year--leave mine under the hood--So I think as long as you leave it somewhat protected should be fine

I leave mine out year round in central Illinois. I've had it for over two years, and the frame finally cracked today while scooping with the weather in the 20's. I've used it many times in the cold weather, though, so I think this was likely due to a combination of its age and the cold. I feel like I got my money's worth out of it, so I am ordering another one.

I live in Minnesota and here's my suggested protocol for winter storage. Take off the canopy and store it, the 4 canopy support rods, and the head pillow in your garage. That's it. I leave my swing outside, uncovered, all winter. I've never covered it, and the snow and cold haven't created any issues. However, I learned the hard way. The first year I left the canopy on (against instructions) and the weight of the snow caused two of the canopy support rods to splinter. I ordered two replacement rods and they were supplied quickly by Sunset Swings. Hope this answers your question.

I have left it outside in the summer with a plastic cover over it, but it folds up nicely and I hang it in my garage for the winter, I suppose it could be left outside during the winter if you covered it with a plastic grill cover.

YYES YES YES. I live in northeren Colorado and use it outside all year around.

It says it should not be left up in cold environments. I did read a few reviews that said they left it up so we are trying it this year. We are located in Northwest Ohio where winters can be either harsh or mild and this year has been more mild. Will know more this spring when the cover is removed.

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.

Leave it on all year long. It does not obstruct air flow and will keep debris out.

I have left mine outside and it still looks brand new and i live in Chicago-what a winter last year!!

It clearly says it on there not to leave it out. But I have no where to store it so I have left it out for 5 months, but I also live in California where we have no seasons. I am sure for the price you pay, you probably want it to last so keep it in the garage :)

Yes we leave ours outside all year. Just tir it down for wind storms. It has no damage from the weather and we have had ours for 2 years.

Yes! Left it out all year in all kinds of weather and it looks great! Must take pillows in, of course.

The pool is not designed nor intended to be left up year round in winter conditions. I live in Chicago and take it down in Sept/Oct and put it back up around May. If you leave it up, the pool (liner and poles) are likely to prematurely wear and may even rip due to the expansion/contraction of freezing. Good luck.
