Will this withstand snow in the winter, we'd be looking at the enclosure kit too. Thanks!

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 wouldn't let it accumulate, I had about 2-3" on and then would knock it off by popping from the inside. We don't get much snow in the Pacnorwest so it's doable but if I was back in Wisc I'd think twice about getting this cover.

While it can withstand snow, as it melts it will go right through. I keep mine on all year as it keeps away most spring to fall debris and add a winter cover on top of it. I love this cover.. great purchase.

The supports are close together so the snow should not be a problem. The first ShelterLogic I had lasted for 5 years then started getting holes in it.

I've only had this for a year. If you get a lot of snow and ice, the netting will sag. It really depends on how you use it. I covered bushes and the netting held up fine. It will blow away so you need to have it anchored.

mine has been covered in snow all winter and seems to be fine. great bench.

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

I do not live anyplace where it is going to snow on a camping trip, but based on the size of the poles and the tension that the tent is erected with, I would say it will hold up to snow pretty well.

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!

The shelter is a great product, It even made it through a freak blizzard in october. I was buried all around and 2ft of wet snow on top and it held out well. I did have to have the fabric repaired (my fault ... got a little careless with a shovel) I have a Vulcan 500 with a windshield and it fits but should have gotten the larger one as the windshield is at the top of the shelter. I would recommend you go with the larger one (it's longer and taller) and you would be very happy.

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!

That's a two part answer! It is heavy duty, not really. However if you are talking about being able to get the snow off, then it works perfectly. Snow is not the problem. The issue is if there is wet snow, sleet or rain. When water gets between the material and the car or wind shield, it will freeze there. At that point you have a greater chance for the material to rip. I have found that if you take a warm cup of water and pour it over the spots that have frozen, then you are in good shape and it will come off easier. Simply, if you know that it will just snow, then use it! You'll have no issues. If it is any other type of precipitation, then use with caution or use the warm water trick. Overall, it works for me and I am happy with it.

We covered out camper last fall here in Vermont and parked it. My husband has gone and checked on it a few times and says the cover had held up great. We have just had one of the worst winters here in a very long time.

It should be no problem if built according to directions. I have used part of mine as a chicken coop for over a year now and it's survived 30-40 mph winds and heavy snow. I also realize it's not the same quality as the $700+ models at the big box stores. Also be sure you have the tools, time and help to build this. my costs with the kit plus wood and other supplies put me over $350, not counting my time involved.

I live a few houses off the lake in NH, and it held up ok for the first year in wind and snow. I have a few rooftop units. I did notice a little tear where it clearly caught a sharp edge...I don't know that any cover would hold to that. I'll duct tape it this year and I'm sure it will be fine.

It's protected on three sides (and from the top) - the only way snow would get in the feeder is if it were blowing pretty hard INTO the opening on the front. Unless you normally get a lot of blowing snow it shouldn't be a problem for you.

It won't sustain a light snow load. We had 2" of snow and the supports between the side walls and the ridge pole all bent. Also the welds that hold the feet onto the uprights broke loose. I had a similar canopy for 20 years that never had an issue even in heavier snows. The metal part is not as heavy as even the parts of a chain link fence.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.
