Would this crack if filled with very hot water and then taken to a barn in the winter when very cold outside?

I cannot say for certain. It is a heavy duty plastic and very sturdy/stiff. With that said I'm not sure how flexible it would be for hot/cold change. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

I've seen freezing water burst metal pipe so I don't think I would depend on that part. However, I use this for the plumbing in my fish pond which just came through another nasty winter with no damage to this piping. I believe the reason is that I keep one end of the pipe open during the winter and make sure there is no water in the pipe above the waterline of the pond. This gives the ice room for expansion while the pond is frozen over.

Unfortunately it hasnt been cold enough so I haven't had this issue. But I am sure wherever the heat blows it will be fine. The part where the heat comes out of however is not very strong nor very wide

I'm not sure if this can be use as outdoors?For the iron part I don't see why not, but for the wood tray top I think it may crack through the cool winter years.

Yes, but don't put cold things in it when it is very hot. That could crack it. Just put your cold liquids in it when the tea pot is at room temperature. I hope this helps.

Live in PA, I left it out over winter. It almost made it through, but when it blew over post-winter, it cracked in 3 separate places. Leaving it out definetly affects how brittle the plastic gets. I'm still here looking to purchase another though, I'll take it in this winter.

It is rather stiff tubing that I buried in several places. Not sure that it would withstand freezing in winter but other than that I would bury it. It uses barb type connectors, any hardware store would have adapters to match any tubing size to any other size.

Ours (both of them) arrived cracked from Amazon, so honestly I wouldn't recommend for indoor or out. We kept one because temperature was around 0 degrees F. and it was kind of an emergency. It is kept outdoors under an awning of shed and has seemed to work fine.

I bought this item this past Spring. I do not think it would crack in winter but I would not cut the back off. It would lose the support it needs to be used as a step. If the top step were level with the floor and resting on the floor and only the bottom step used then cutting the back off might work.

Possibly if you are mounting it to the exposed brick inside your house. The product is not meant for exterior use (water will get the holes if its not sealed properly and through freeze thaw cycles will most likely crack the wall of your chimney). You could try masonry anchors (there are many different kinds) carefully drilled into the brick/mortar joint so you do not crack or break the bricks. I would epoxy the anchors and the screws in for added durability but keep in mind once they are epoxied they are not coming back out later. I hope this helps but I would recommend installing this to a stud in the wall in lieu of the chimney. Possibly if you are mounting it to the exposed brick inside your house.

Hi Nafeesa, This really is a lovely birdbath, but I wouldn't leave water in it if the temperatures are below freezing. The ceramic can crack. I will sometimes put water in during the day and empty it out at about sundown. Hope this helps!

The cold has caused mine to crack and I am so disappointed. The water pours out and I don't know you would have it fixed. It was so pretty but not made good. Gloria

Absolutely. As soon as you apply it, you'll hear the crackling as the ice begins to melt. Same as you would if you threw road salt onto it -- except this is more environmentally friendly.

I wouldn't chance it. The glass gets so very hot that if it were subjected to cold water it may shatter.

I wouldn't think so. It is made very well however it would be breakable if that cold. I bring mine in during late fall.

Chris, I love this product and have used for years. This product is rubber and rubber will burst in too cold conditions. I really dont suggest this use of the product.As it shoots 1000' ft of water you could burst your own pipe. If you can see the ice try a oil dipstick heater it will melt it. Good luck

My guess is that the plastic tank might melt in heat or crack in cold and the bowl part although stainless steel might get hot or freeze in cold. I personally would buy something that's made for outdoor use and skip this.
