Is it weather proof ? Can it stay outdoors in the winter, rain and snow ? Will it warp ?

Well, I bought it as a gift to my daughter this summer. So, we have not seen it weather the winter yet. But, I bought it with the belief that it will be fine through the winter. My mother had a similar table fromt he same type of wood and it always stayed out side through all the seasons (she lived in Massachusetts).

We put several coats of sealer on it and it is holding up nicely. We live in San Diego, so no snow but we have had rain and I wash it down often when it gets dirty. The only issue I had with it is there is no drainage inside, so I had my husband drill some holes so there is a place for the water to run off. Otherwise it is a great item and we love it!

I just bought the potters bench this past summer and haven't been through a winter with it. No rain yet!!! I did put two coats of a sealer on it to help protect it, just in case.

I coated mine with Thompsons and purchased in approx August. It has been outsidein Atlanta and we have received a LOT of rain and it is warping enought that I will have to paint it probably in spring. Still a nice bench though, for the price you can't beat it.

Like previous poster, I put many, many coats of wood protector on this piece and it did fine through the summer and hard rains. (Though the inside area did hold some moisture and I used a cloth to get excess). I brought it in for the winter (Maine) for less wear and tear. The lower shelf provides a lot of room for storage of pots, soil, etc.

Just bought it this summer, no experience with snow yet, but the frame is strong and it has a good pitch, snow should slide off.

Just got it, but not intending to leave it up in the winter. If it snows I believe it would get too heavy and tear. No it is not a good rain diverted b/c it is woven and not actually sail cloth.

It works fine in the rain, no issues. I haven't encountered any snow so I can't answer to that.

I have mine outside in the elements and it survived our Michigan winter with 50mph wind gusts and -20 temps. It will probably get me thru one more season. If you want a cover that lasts many seasons you will pay three times or more than what this cover costs.

It won't sustain a light snow load. We had 2" of snow and the supports between the side walls and the ridge pole all bent. Also the welds that hold the feet onto the uprights broke loose. I had a similar canopy for 20 years that never had an issue even in heavier snows. The metal part is not as heavy as even the parts of a chain link fence.

No. Its not weather resistant. Plus its so quiet its not worth the purchase..

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!!

Well it doesn't snow a lot here but when it does, it holds up very well. I've had absolutely no problems with mine. No regrets making this purchase.

It is sturdy and well-made. I have not had mine through a winter, but I don't think I would leave it outside with water in it - - anything might crack if it freezes where you live.

I had no issues with snow drifts and unit is still in fine shape. The largest open area (the top) is covered and I was advised not to fully encase a unit for possible problems with moisture when no air circulates. In short, I am very happy with this cover.

I wouldn't recommend this tent in the snow or the wind. This Tent NEEDS to be staked down to stay up (not sure it would hold the weight of snow or gusts of wind. But is has a nice water proof base that comes up about a foot on the edges, so rain is ok.

Yes, it is waterproof and strong. I Use it as a canopy cover. Has withstood 8 inches of snow and 60+ mph winds

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....

I use it for outside. It's plastic, so weather won't affect it all that much, although it could crack from extreme heat or cold. Then again, any plastic will do the same thing. It seems well made, and holds a lot of weight, me.

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

Yes, it can handle strong wind. We loved ours in all weather. In fact, ours did well until the snows hit. We got a foot of snow and ours crumples like an accordion. It was about 10 months old. We were very sad to lose it.
