How ofter do you replace the covers and what climate conditions you live in? Do you take it down every year for storage?

Last cover lasted about 5-6 years or so. Heavy snowfall last two years really wrecked it hard though. Bungee cords rot faster, have to replace those every 2-3 years or so. Typical south Jersey weather is what it sees. Nothing too drastic.

The top cover lasts me about 2 to 2-1/2 years. I live in So Calif, warm summers mild winters. I do not take it down for storage. The sides last aboyt 3 to3-1/2 years. The metal frame is very strong with no wear in 6 years. I did lag bolt it down to my concrete driveway so a heavy wind would not bother it. I also ran some cheap tie downs from Harbor Freight across the top, lengthwise, to secure it. Cost was about $30.

I would get a whole different cover. We bought ours last year, we have trees above our pool that drop seeds. When the sun hit the pool the cover fell into shreds. It was floating in pieces on our pool? We had to open our pool in March.

I keep mine in a front room that was a garage, ideally it should be kept at a lower temp but i would only seeing it affect its life at that temp. Perhaps get 1 year or so out of it vs. 2-3.

You will need a special wide cover, which is available here. The original cover is essentially garbage and won't last long.

I wouldn't leave it outside over the winter especially with the winter we had last year. Extreme temps cause things to wear out faster and can affect how they work. I'd store it in a garage or shed so it's not exposed to the elements. Coleman recommends keeping it covered when not in use as rain can also cause the parts to deteriorate and rust.

I have had mine less than a year, so not sure. I keep a cover over mine when not in use as well.

I do keep them outside all year. This past winter was particularly bad, and the covers are holding up quite well and the furniture is well protected. There is some fading of the color of the dark green cover; other than that minor cosmetic issue, no complaints.

The frame will be fine, mine has been up since I bought it. However the cover will not hold up well to heavy snow, strong winds, or extended weather. If you plan to leave the cover on year round be sure to securely fasten the frame to the ground and expect to replace the cover the after a couple years.

This is the second year that I have used my cover. It hasn't cracked or dried out. They have a 3 year warranty. Go to the vendor website for more information. I even called the vendor and they were very helpful in answering my questions. FYI - we live in the Blue Ridge Mtns of Virginia. Winter here this year was pretty cold and damp.

I leave it outside all year. We have snow in the winter months so I put plywood on top of the opening and cover with a tarp. Then in the spring open and air out and its good to go.

Not really. The cushions can be removed and stored. Or you can buy all weather covers. I live in Florida and they have been in intense sun and rain for two years with no problems.

No, it doesn't hold up to the weather. I'm on my second one in two years after the first one was replaced because of it ripping to shreds. The second one did the exact same thing. Save your money....

I wouldn't do that. I would recommend storing them in a more climate-controlled environment-- a storage shed, or a garage, where the tempurature isn't going to fluctuate so much from season to season. Just to be safe!

I had mine for two years so far. Empty them after the growing season and store them. Seems to be durable. I fill them and move them once to there final resting place in spring

I leave mine up and use it like an extra room. Mine was up for months and held up to storms. It had a rip after a heavy ice storm, but that is my fault for not taking it down. Also, I never had it collapse like the cheaper models do.

Mine is outside all weather in Pennsylvania all year. I don't store my bike because I don't stop riding it when it gets cold. The water resistance lasts about a year. After that it's a dust cover. For the price you can afford to buy a new one each year.

Personally I think keeping this in a location subject to weather 365 daya a year is not a good idea. Mine is in a semi-covered area and I covered it in plastic to prevent winter snow and ice damage. I also do not store potting soil directly in the soil area, partly because I also use as a server on my deck for parties. Rain does get inside even on the side with the solid cover.
