Can this be left out all year in snow?

I own 2 of these and both were along a house and a business year round and were just fine!

I'm not sure I would. Some of the pieces are hollow & if they fill with snow & ice, even though this is metal I'm afraid in extreme winter conditions it might crack. I've actually had my bench blow over.

It can be left hooked up over the spring, summer and fall seasons, however, like all hoses it must be unhooked for the winter. I live in the Midwest, you cannot leave hoses attached over the cold winters. The box stays outside, never gets weathered and has stayed in great condition.

Yes indeed. I have had mine outside in rain and snow for the past year or more. Just make sure it is snapped closed!

Absolutely. I left it out all year and I live in Boston. No issues. Great purchase.

Mine is in a tree so it's protected from total exposer. However the snow can freeze and cause a small layer of seed to fuze together. Not really an issue. I still love mine - tried many and this is the best one!

I doubt it's ability to withstand significant snow and will be taking it down in the winter. Otherwise, I'll keep it up most of the year.

I have had mine for one year now. I brought it under the eaves for the winter and it was fine. I think too many years in the snow (especially like we had in the north east this year) would do a number, so I would have at least put a cover over it. Note that stink bugs can get in it easily so if you bring it inside you will have to clean it out.

Hi, Tracy. We live where it freezes and snows all winter, so, no, we do not leave it out then. If it were drained, it might be okay, but it is portable enough for my husband to carry it to the basement for winter storage. This is our second summer using this pump and it is still pumping strong.

Yes. Ours was left outside with cover thru brutal northeast winter and it held up beautifully.

I leave mine outside all year round. I plug it in as soon as there is a nip in the air but as others have said it does not "heat" the water, it just keeps it from freezing. Our temps this winter have been well below zero and I noticed some ice on the water but usually it is OK. It is exposed to all types of weather elements from heat to rain to snow and there is no trouble. Racoons, possums, birds, and cats have all come to get a drink from the bowl all year. You do have to monitor the water level.

It is not designed to be a seasonal product, but if you live in a place that gets heavy snowfalls, you might want to remove the panels of the roof since they would not hold much of a snow load. And they might just get brittle enough to crack if the temps get very cold and stay that way in winter.

You can leave it outside, but I do turn mine over to avoid freezing which does not allow it to work during that part of the year.

I leave mine out year around in Zone 9 climate, so no snow, but did put pavers down per other suggestions in a 5'x5' square. Also serves as the floor. As for the playhouse itself, it has a hard plastic roof that over-hangs and only the wood sides touch the ground, so I don't think you'll have a problem leaving out year around in your climate zone.

My husband seems to think you could. Ours is in our window, year round. It is too heavy for us to remove every winter. You would need good support on the outside wall. There is only about 3-4 inches inside and the rest is outside.

Yes I have left it out even with the bad winter we had in Pennsylvania last year

It clearly says it on there not to leave it out. But I have no where to store it so I have left it out for 5 months, but I also live in California where we have no seasons. I am sure for the price you pay, you probably want it to last so keep it in the garage :)
