Would this be usable in a basement during winter? We have a door hoop that keeps breaking.

I didn't end up keeping this product because all the parts were not included. It is rather large, though, so it depends on how much room you have in your basement. It goes to 7.5 feet, I believe.

In theory, yes, but I don't know how well the plastic will hold up if the sun beats on it or if it gets extremely cold. There is a 3M product that I referenced in my review that I used for the outside of the door.

We don't live in a heavy snow fall area but I moved here from my, so I understand the fear. I think it would be fine. The shed actually comes with three cross beams that the roof is a to. Also, while putting ours together, it fell over and we had to say out portions of it. It's still fine. It did rip in one corner but it was our fault for not screwing it down to something when it git to windy to be out finishing it. So, if it still up after the wind knocking it over, I think the snow will be no problem. Plus it's short enough you could use a broom to just push the snow right off. No problem. Anyway, the cross beams are made of aluminum but they are strong cause they are i beams.

I have found it absolutely effective in summer to keep it much cooler inside but have not noticed a difference in the winter. If you do use it, be sure to read the reviews on installation, especially the part of having two people, using lots of lubricant (slightly soapy water works fine), and using the clothes pins to weight it down. Install the least visible door first, so you can learn by your mistakes. Be aware that you can pull too hard and stretch the material, and wind up with creases as a result.

I left the slide attached to the swingset, but have not used it during the winter months. The slide appears to be quite sturdy, but not sure how it would hold up through really cold temps. I believe the coldest it has been this winter is approx. +8 F. Not sure if you are in a colder climate. Not sure this info helps.My daughter has had a lot of fun on the swingset. Hopefully this ends up being maintenance free.

I would have to believe this doorbell would work in cold weather. I am sure the company has thought through on the elements. Over time, in any kind of weather either with the cold or the heat the doorbell will be effected. Sun shining on it .... bitter cold attacking it .... will cause something to happen.

Hi Jackie,I'm not sure can you about the climate issue, I only use this for our basement facilities. For outdoors, I would suggest deadbolt, definitely more reliable.

I have it put away til i need it next. I would not think it would hold up to winter conditions.

Hey I just attached to my any door frame in ground floor. It does not have any issue. You can try it in your basement.

I'm not sure I would. Some of the pieces are hollow & if they fill with snow & ice, even though this is metal I'm afraid in extreme winter conditions it might crack. I've actually had my bench blow over.

I have not used it outdoors in cold weather. My basement area does get down to 36 degrees or so and there has been no problem at that temperature.

I have not had the experience with the unheated basement in winter time. But it does operate fine down to about 45-50 degrees in the spring and fall.

As long as there's not a lot of traffic by the door. I use mine outside and had to be creative to keep it from going off every time the wind blew anything around it. Hope this helped :)

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!

Yes you can. BUT you have to install it very well not to have a slight opening/a crack, so to speak, that lets in cold air. Must be aligned perfectly which we couldn't quite achieve. So we wound up putting strips of clear weatherproof tape all down that crack which meant we can't slide open the door without tearing lose the tape. But, it is so convenient for the cats, we are living with a door that can't be open.

I'm not an expert, but based on how it's assembled, I think that'd be fine. It uses pressure to hold in in place, so you'll end up with a ring on your floor. To fix that, after you remove it just throw some ice cubes on the ring, let them melt and dry. it should fluff it back up.

Yes, but it won't fit through a doorway so you'd have to assemble it in your basement and take it apart if you ever wanted to move it. It's about 8 feet talk so you'd need at least 9 ft ceilings
