Should this be protected from rainy and snowy/icey weather? Not sure if I have enough room in my shed for winter storage.

Mine are outside under a covered porch but the rain blows in on them and they are in full southern sun all afternoon. About 6 months so far and they look brand new. The material looks like it will survive anything, The finish may fade eventually and they may rust. I wouldn't have any concerns about leaving them outside with a cover.

My furniture will most likely stay outside as well and we plan to protect it from the elements. Next year we plan to put a sealant on it.

I live in northern New England and while my chair sits out from April to November I do store it away for winter. That said the temp extremes up here can be significant even in those months so I suspect this chair will survive the winter.

I would have to say "no" to that. This tent will no keep out the cold, but the rain, and if its set up properly it can withstand wind. Hope that helps.

Hi, I live in Mn so I will not be leaving it up in winter. It will be dark here by 5:30 so not much sun. It is not like a patio umbrella that would protect you from the rain. You could stay under the shade in a light shower but not a full rain. It does block wind. Your patio will stay cooler because the floor, patio furniture etc. will not get hot, therefore will not radiate heat. Very durable. I added extra grommets for more support. I use bungee cords to hang mine. Definitely recommend.

We don't know at the moment as it is under 7 feet if snow. No exageration. But when we put it together we caulked the seams with bathroom sealer. It is the best storage container bar none. I think it would fit a regular size lock like one on a shed. bigger than the ones on a school locker.

Personally I think keeping this in a location subject to weather 365 daya a year is not a good idea. Mine is in a semi-covered area and I covered it in plastic to prevent winter snow and ice damage. I also do not store potting soil directly in the soil area, partly because I also use as a server on my deck for parties. Rain does get inside even on the side with the solid cover.

We just bought the table this year, but I plan to store in a shed for the winter. It is made of wood so it must be water proofed.

It was a good fit. There are compression straps at both ends, so I believe it will fit the range of sizes stated. I don't believe the material will hold up in a windy environment, as in many western states. Best suited for indoor or somewhat protected storage. It does shed rain & snow well. The question is durability under adverse conditions.

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 went to Lowe's and found one that was similar to this, but mine is huge. If you are going to let this sit outside, I would get some sort of waterproof cover because of it being metal, but if you are going to store it inside a shed or garage, I would just get a generic cheap cover.

We left ours outside in Ohio through the winter. I was surprised how well it held up through all the snow and ice. There are some evidence of wear but that comes with the elements of being outside. It is small enough that you could bring in the garage in the winter but I do not think that would be nessecary. When it rains sometimes the windows do not shut because the wood expands, but they always go back to normal once it dries up. Good Playhouse for the price.

We are using it on our uutside deck it will remain there throughout the year. We will cover it when the weather get cold and nasty. It may be a good idea to put a protective coat on it

I have mine outside but I live in a dry high desert setting and anything I have goes inside for the winter. It does rain but not often and that would be the worst weather I would leave it subject too. The rain has not hurt it working. I do have it hanging under the eve of my patio.

The top is solid and hinged and the bottom is solid. The sides are slatted but it is all enclosed. If protected, the surface should she rain well although, it is flat. We have had children's toys in it all summer, rain and shine. I did cover it with a kind of varnish: TCP 315.. I don't have that right but it is a treatment for wooden roof shingles.. I think it should be fine outdoors in snow and in snow melt. (be careful when assembling. They anticjpate errors that people seem to want to make .... including me.. chuckle.

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!

I have mine on an open air porch so it gets a little bit of rain on it. I haven't had any issues with rain bothering it. It wouldn't hurt to put a coat of protectant on it if it will be outside though.

With proper ventilation (to keep your roof cold) and insulation (so house air doesn't warm it up) you shouldn't have any ice damns so will be OK. I redid all that on my place before installing the guard, so don't know how it does with heavy damning. Without damning it has held up fine in the snow.

This generator, like most, is not suitable for exposure to rain/snow. I use a BBQ grill cover when not in use, for storage outdoors. There are many creative and inexpensive ways to protect this unit from rain while operating.
