I would certainly not keep water in it through the winter. I bring my rain barrel inside--either my garage or my storage shed. I think it would make it through he winter if empty but I do not plan to do that.

Dont think they will wait til spring if you put them out now not for sure. I have kept mine in frig until i was ready theydone just fine.

The stabilizers do a great job on ice and snow. When you wear them in on a hard floor you might keep in mind that you can slip.

I didn't put them out til Spring...but it was a cold Ohio Spring. I think they would be fine..just make sure you drill holes in them for drainage. They look really nice.

Not in the winter. They don't like it below 40 & frost turns them into mush because they hold a lot of water in their fleshy "leaves". Even covered with straw or other mulch, I don't think they could survive Wisconsin winters. One solution is to plant in containers & bring them inside at the first frost warning.

Yesthey will withstandwarm temps and hard rains but not harsh winters that's below 36 degrees you will have a short window to pick them once they've ripened

NO! they wouldn't work in the summertime. I don't see them working in the winter time

Oh yeah! It'll work perfectly. Just don't leave them on during winter. I ruined two that way.

I keep them outside for entire year. I live in Minneapolis area so we had a pretty rough winter and they look pretty good. They could use a power washing but have no signs of break down. I recommend.

Can't say for sure, we got them toward the end of winter and they did fine with some snow and ice, but they have not been exposed for an entire winter season. We are in the mid-Atlantic area.

Its very long. But one thing I don't think they are meant to be out in the very cold temperatures. I noticed the plastic is starting to crack. My suggestion is to bring it in for the winter.

I wouldn't if you live in the north. I'm in Ohio and will bring them for winter, If you live in warmer areas you probably could but freezing and thawing ,Ithik would damage them. Hope this helps

Short answer yes. But, water expands when freezing and will crack and break pavement if you pull them in winter and leave holes exposed to snow, rain, and ice. Just be smart about your installation.

As long as your temp doesn't drop below zero very much or for very long they will keep. Once they are tall and thick bunches it will be harder to kill. After last winter I'd say no, but most winters(I'm in VA) aren't too bad.

Yes, they can break, I've broken the 'fit together clips' on two so far. The first one broke freeing a snow plough pick up truck and the second one broke on my car in snow deeper than its underbelly. Originally I was going to throw out the broken ones but instead I'm going to try wiring them together with heavy gauge wire. I can't see why the won't work, its just a different way of connecting them. The clips are like interlocking plastic hooks.

Not likely, unless you load them with bricks or lead ingots, than they may fail. I've never have one fail after 5+ years of all weather use.

Not sure....I put them back in the house before snowfall. Sorry. They are definitely worth the effort.
