I just ordered this. It'll be outside but I'll store it in the winter. How does it handle the weather?

I have to say that I love my swing. I have only had it since around April, but so far it is doing very well. I live in Oklahoma where it is sooooo cold as well as uber-hot, but it is on a covered porch. It comes assembled so that is no problem. The matching rockers were a little difficult though. Still... I love them as well.

We haven't had it during the rainy season yet and it is in a covered area. That being said it is faux wood and that will be able to handle the weather. The other parts are metal and are coated. We are in California so I don't know how it would handle sitting in snow. We do move in all of our patio furniture at our cabin for the winter just because we don't like it sitting in the snow for periods of time.

It looks like it could withstand an occasional rain or light snow storm. I wouldn't let it sit outside the whole summer without protection, nor let snow pile up around it. Nonetheless, this is just my speculation as I've never had opportunity for it to get rained or snowed upon.

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.

I would not put it outside but keep its size under control and keep it inside. My outside temp. is 8F at this point.

snow won't hurt it, but it a mesh screen-like material, so rain and snow would go right thru it!

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.

I would suggest dissembling it for winter if you aren't going to use it. It stands up well, but it doesn't hurt to keep it out of the elements when you can!

We haven't had it through the winter yet but it has held up well during lots of pretty heavy rain storms and wind. It's fairly heavy so I'm really not too concerned about the snow. I certainly plan on leaving it out and we live in Ohio. I'm very satisfied with this. Just be careful you order the right size - there are two sizes and I didn't notice it the 1st time I ordered.

It is pretty sturdy all right, but uncertain about snow load. You would need to ask the company about that. I have kept mine up all year with rain and wind and no damage. I love Coolaroo.

Pot it and keep it inside until there is no chance of frost. After it has a good root system, it should survive winters just fine.

We live in the Pacific NW so freezing is not really an issue here as it rarely drops below zero. We have ours stored in the garage and didn't have any problems over the winter.

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.

Mine is inside I don't think I would put outside unless it could be out of the weather.I do love it.

No, it doesn't hold up to the weather. I'm on my second one in two years after the first one was replaced because of it ripping to shreds. The second one did the exact same thing. Save your money....

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.

Only have had it a few months but has survived sub-zero weather, snow, ice, rain. wind. No problems thus far.
