what about when snow is wet and deep against sides? I've used full cover for 14 years and no rust, perfect shape..

I had no issues with snow drifts and unit is still in fine shape. The largest open area (the top) is covered and I was advised not to fully encase a unit for possible problems with moisture when no air circulates. In short, I am very happy with this cover.

Most experts I've spoken to, agree on not covering the entire unit. The cover is designed to keep debris from getting inside, it's not about moisture.

Hi there, I haven't tried it yet since I received in the spring. I'm hoping it will be ok!

Usually there is some protection under the eves. As far as I can see, this unit is quite well made and well painted. I suspect you would get 10 - 12 years before rust would show.

I found this lock to be durable. I used mine throughout the winter and its yellow protective covering to be effective against rust. The length of the lock is a plus, it makes it easier to access.

I have had it outside for a year now in the Pacific NW and its rust free. I cover it with a tarp when it rains.

I would say not. Once rust starts its hard to keep it from coming back. It may cover it for while but it will come back

Hello,I've had my potting table for about three years. We do not have snow, but plenty of rain, and there is no rust. I am very pleased with it.

I live in the south and have mine on a Honda 14 model for about 6 months now. Was real happy at the ease of installation and durability. I routinely put stuff on the top as I am unloading the back of my truck and think it would probably do OK with a snow load provided it wasn't the real heavy wet snow like we get in the south.

Yup! Couldn't be happier w mine. Bought it over the winter and it's still like brand new, no rust, nothing. I have it on my ez loader boat trailer for my 23' maxum

It holds up fine as long as you scrape the heavy snow off it. That is until the material degrades which in my case only took a few years.

I like mine. It is still being used. It was covered in snow over winter and has some rust but I am going to use your idea and go to home depot and get fire-resistant paint.

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'm not sure, I live in Oregon we have rain, snow, heat over 100 degrees for weeks at a time. I installed these 2 years and they have zero rust, they still look new. Be aware I have only used the boat in fresh water.

Water does bead. My bike is outside all year round and stays dry. After two years its stood up to cold rain and snow. Color is fading though but integrity of cover is not deteriorating.

That is a question the manufacturer would have to answer. We have owned ours for 3 years and remain very satisfied. It is outside, but under cover, so I am unable to comment about how it weathers.

I'm hoping it will last me for at least a few years. We have experienced a lot of rain and it is holding up just fine. I'm just worried about heavy wet snow.
