would this hold up for snow in winter?

Yes, but depends on how much snow. It will sag under heavier weight. I usually just sweep off the top after a snow storm to get most of it off (I don't use a shovel because it could puncture the tarp). Between snow and wind I usually have to replace the tarp every 2-3 years for Utah winter weather.

I live in Northern Ontario. I've had two bad winters with this top and there doesn't seem to be a problem at all with the snow. I do remove the snow before I drive it and on occassion, when it's sitting in the driveway. The top still looks brand new and it is still very tight.

I believe it will. We live in a very cold environment during the winter, it usually gets around -15 below and this mat held up just fine. Made of flexible rubber material not stiff.

It's sturdy and the surface area of the roof is not that big. I don't think snow load is an issue. Can't say how it will do long term in very cold temps. My brother has a similar unit he has owned for probably 10 years. He has moved it 2x. It is holding up great. He is just north of NYC so below zero is not common. It is not hard to put together, but my 10 y.o. helped and he had to kick something to get everything to line up and he broke off a small piece. It is still sturdy despite that. I am very happy with it.

Got one last winter. Sets on our deck out of most of the weather. Seems to be holding up good and still looks like new. Would not suggest for extremely cold weather.

Mine held up to a rough Michigan winter. You're supposed to knock off excess snow throughout the season but I only did that if it was more than about 4 inches at a time

IT does seem to hold in warmth. Its great for winter. The only ones that are not as hot are the dense 3"...which I have not been able to find.

I am using mine for the second year. I live in Michigan so it held up through a brutal winter uncovered! I believe it will last for at least 5-6 yrs!

We did not use our during the winter yet. We had it up in August and it survived some high winds from summer storms without any issues. I was impressed on how sturdy and easy to assemble it was for the price :) Hope this helps

I wouldn't want to count on it. The roof fabric is quite thin but it served us well during a recent church event.We live in coastal South Carolina so snow has not been an issue.Good luck!WBG

Has held up very well -- went through a very tough winter and still looks new.

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!!

I owned one for about 5 years. It will not hold up to snow. Rain yes. We had it in the mountains of NC. We used it to have a semi-permanent campsite. It stayed up from April to Nov. There was no problems even after 3 years. One year it snowed a heavy wet snow and it came down. The weight sagged the canvas and buckled the legs. We just replaced the canvas and two legs and used the rest for another couple years.

This winter was a true test! It held up pretty well. There is a tiny tear in it, but consider

I am using it indoor. Not sure whether it can resist the cold weather or not.

Mine has held up very well this winter...velcro is strong. No issues w/ the 6in or so of snow I've had on it. I've had a few different covers over the years in this price range; this one is easily the best.

It's good in sun and rain. But I'm unsure about snow. The wood it's made out of is treated to be weather resistant, but it's soft so I would worry about it sitting in snow for long amounts of time. The roof piece is shingled so it shouldn't leak. I hope that helps!
