How about rain and snow? How does the structure hold up?

I have mine under a covered porch, which is what I recommend. It is not a winterized structure, but the electronics are waterproof and chew proof

we kept this under a porch. Did really well. We used an outdoor electric cord and had no problems. We are still using it

I didn't use it but the instructions said it needed to be in an enclosed structure

I bought two of these K&H; Heated Kitty Houses last fall. They're made of very durable waterproof material, so hold up very well. To set them up, I placed the 2 houses end to end with about 8" between them atop a deck box covered by a stiff plastic tarp. The cats were able to access either end or go between them to get into a house. My cats seemed to love their cozy beds during last winter's snowy Ohio weather!

it seems to stay pretty dry inside, but i wish i had ordered the larger size so there would be more room away from the open door when it is raining hard out. for the winter i put them under our wooden picnic table and covered it with a tarp to keep the wind and snow off them and that worked well. they don't work well in blowing snow without additional cover.

The house does hold up very well in rain and snow. It was outside in the open all winter. My only complaint is that the openings are much too low and the very nice pad inside does get very wet. I have modified the two openings by adding a plastic cover over the bottom part of the opening. There is still plenty of room for the cat to enter/exit and the pad inside stays drier. I like the house so much I am ordering another for a recent stray that has been hanging around.

Our kitty house is on an open porch with a roof overhead. We live where we get rain and snow and the kitty house has held up without problem.

We have not had the Kitty house over winter yet, but it works good in rain.

It has survived monsoon rains and light snow so far. It obviously doesn't always stay dry inside because water can easily splash in but it dries quickly.

I don't know to be honest but it has held up well against the rain and snow.

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 had problems with sustained winds and rain. So I imagined lots of snow but also be a problem. The side that has the single support will move around a lot in the wind and get weighed down by water.

I would say mostly. We keep ours under the eaves on our deck. In winter, because if snow, Ina shed. We had some good Tstorms this summer & it seems to have held up well

With the arch it does well in wind, snow and rain. I am very happy with it. It will take you longer to set up than they tell you. The second one would be much faster. Sorting all the parts is the hardest. Would recom to all!

It is designed to be used outdoors. I have not had an issue with it in the rain or the snow.

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!

Not sure about really rainy conditions but I can tell you that it holds up very well through cold and snowy Canadian winters. I'd think if it can handle that the rain shouldn't be a problem.

Cold weather and rain has been no problem for me. The unit is weather tight.

We haven't tested rain and snow...but we did drop ours in the river. We managed to get it out after a few minutes. That was over a year ago and its still working.

My Shelterlogic held up very well against the snow. I would go out and shake off the snow, but at times there was at least 3-4 inches on roof and never caved in.

I live in the Houston, TX area so I can't comment on how well it holds up to cold but mine have been through a lot of rain with no problem. gary

It never gets rain in it, but I can't answer for snow as I live in the desert. I love it and it's held up wonderfully.

Been up almost two years and it has held up well. Winds don't faze it and it handled snow well. The recommend filling the posts with peas gravel! Do it! Makes the structure very sturdy. Love it!

I used my item in the summer rain and it held out good. It was still working when I put it away in November. I would cover it with plastic(a bag) if you plan on using it in the snow,...just to be safe.

It would certainly have no issue with snow/rain etc - very good surface on the ramp. You would need to check it is long enough for your application
