Are these blinds sufficiently weather proof for winter eg snow or heavy rain?

These blinds are for sun ONLY. The instructions say to roll it up when not using it to block the sun; especially when it's windy.

I would say yes, provided the light bulb is protected from precipitation. I have mine underneath the eve of my house and they do fine. If it is out in the rain/snow, I don't know how it would hold up.

yes, they work fine in winter, if blowing snow they may need brushed off, only problem I have had is humidity and extreme heat waves during sunlight interrupts signal on long distances.

they are made of a thin nylon material. I don't know if they would be weather resistant, as I returned them due to the lights not working right.

I don't usually leave mine down, but I seriously doubt that they'd be waterproof. You might could scotch guard them so that they'd be more repellant though. They're nice blinds though; I've had mine for about a year now and they're still like new.

I have them underneath the eaves of my roof so they're partially sheltered. My guess that they would be OK with no protection from the weather. My only concern would be water getting into the battery compartment. Some type of protective weatherproof tape over the opening would work.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend - they freeze in winter conditions. Weather Tech better choice, IMHO.

I used mine on an outdoor application (not a water feature ) but they get rained on all the time plus direct sun and snow. The look the same as they did the day I installed them.

Yes, they are "so far" weather proof. The pigtails are even silicon-ed from the factory.

Yes it works well in the winter, the canopy is very sturdy and held up with the weight of snow, it didn't seem to have any problems.

I leave mine up all year in rain and snow and have no problems. I also purchased the connector cover.

I regards to them being waterproof, I have had no issue. I live in Ohio and mine have been through snow and plenty of rain. I've had no issues with this product. Just be sure to order an extention for your rear strip or its not going to reach.( No matter what you drive!)
