Seems too big to move into storage, how does it hold up in the snowy winters in northern states?

It is very sturdy but heavy so we're leaving it out this Winter, I won't know what to tell ya til Spring but we do love the swing.

It is large, and a bit cumbersome to move, but the awning does come off if needed. We are in the South, so snow is not a problem for us. Maybe you could store in under your deck to protect it from the snow? We LOVE this swing and use it all of the time. So glad we bought it.

I live in Minnesota and here's my suggested protocol for winter storage. Take off the canopy and store it, the 4 canopy support rods, and the head pillow in your garage. That's it. I leave my swing outside, uncovered, all winter. I've never covered it, and the snow and cold haven't created any issues. However, I learned the hard way. The first year I left the canopy on (against instructions) and the weight of the snow caused two of the canopy support rods to splinter. I ordered two replacement rods and they were supplied quickly by Sunset Swings. Hope this answers your question.

I live in the High Desert of Caif. We do get some snow, but not a lot. I think it would hold up fine, but I would take the umbrella off

Hi, we had to detach the canopy for us to store inside a boat house. We didnt want to leave it outside. However we havent checked on how it's holding up. Ontario, Canada

I don't know due to I never had set up all year or in snowy weather. I mainly used in November for thanksgiving so it was chilly out. It did hold up good in rain and fair winds. I think it would be ok in light snow but anything heavy may be a problem. The frame is really solid. The tarp material Is not real heavy like it could be. I would suggest if you wanted year round for a carport is go to a Harborfreight Tool store and purchase a big tarp and add to the roof. would give more stability for snow.

It's like a fiberboard. I wouldn't recamend leaving out in the weather. You have approxally 22" long and 16" wide of storage space. I really like the trailer.

I live in Mass and it has survived the winter!!! And I happen to live in the country's "snowiest city" this year. No one is in it right now, but it's in my chicken run and my girls use it as a large nesting box. I will be using it for spring chicks this spring, but it is too small to house large breed chickens. I used to keep 2 silkies in there who I no longer have. I'm shocked actually. i can't promise it's weather proof as far as drafts go, my girls don't use it as an actual coop anymore. But there's a good 3 feet of snow on that thing and it's held up well.

I live in Maine and my shelter just went through its first winter without any noticeable problems. I did push snow off with a broom from the inside when it was more than 5 or 6 inches deep. I recommend you shovel it away from the sides of the building too. I use it to keep my firewood dry.

Mine is in winter storage, but it is a good 14" to 18" above my patio table, which is 29" high

I'm planning to use it year-round (although I'll throw an extra tarp over it when it snows). Seems sturdy enough to withstand.

I don't know why it wouldn't, it holds up well out here in AZ. Heat doesn't bother it. I don't know about freezing winters, might need to store it, or just cover it.

I've used it through 2 winters and at times it was buried under snow. No problems.

I have never stored or left mine outside. It is very well made, very well insulated, and doesn't get stiff or crack when laying in the snow and very cold weather!!! You would have to seal plug connections, but in my opinion, it should serve your purpose!!!

The cold I can speak too, but the snow only to a certain degree... The unit has managed fine in sub zero temps, and due to the completely insane weather in the NE this winter it has managed well during temperature swings of 40+ degrees on a day to day basis.We've only gotten a maximum of about 6 to 8 inches of snow and its handled that fine. The slope of the lid helps a bit as well. Not sure about 2 feet...

yes it is very stable. does not have to be tied down inside. I am using it outside. live in NJ and winter has been cold with snow. It is holding up fine

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

We just got ours 2 weeks ago, but were very pleased with how sturdy it is, I think it will hold up for years to come. And yes I think it would handle the snow no problem. It's also very spacious for a 2 to 4 bird coop, we are very impressed with the house.

I doubt it would even hold snow. But if the snow did some how build up then no it wouldn't hold.

It stays in the semi for overnite deliveries. Definitely too big and thick for compact storage. As others have stated-probably need to find an upright storage along a wall.

I only bought mine earlier this year so it hasn't been through a cold snowy winter here yet but I think it will stand up to it quite well. It's a very thick two ply plastic with mesh between the layers. I think it would do great in SC.
