Is there any issue with rain or snow entering the peak of the hinged roof?

It has never been a problem for us. The bottom is all screen so there is good ventilation.

We live in the desert & haven't had any precipitation yet, so I can't answer your question, however, I am very pleased with the design and quality of this feeder. The roof doesn't extend as far as our old feeder, and it took a few days for the birds to start using it. I would definitely recommend this feeder and am well pleased with it.

This has not appeared to have been any problem with the feeder that I got. The feeder is emptied completely by the birds, so there is no bad seed remaining on the bottom. I am certain some wet does get in though, as it would on the open bottom areas. The seed flows freely, that is a plus.

We hang it from a tree limb under a round roof-baffle thing in an attempt to foil the rascally raccoons. Rain is not an issue. Raccoons are. We are happy with the feeder; it is quite well made.

It would certainly have no issue with snow/rain etc - very good surface on the ramp. You would need to check it is long enough for your application

I kept mine out over the winter. We had a couple of heavy snowstorms. Not a problem. As far as rain, airtight so far -- have had it about a year.

Not at all - have had them out throughout the winter and all of our rain and have not had a problem.

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

I'm no expert but I think its open enough that you wouldn't need to worry about the roof holding in heat.

I also live in a windy area. I have a "Broan Nutone 636 roof cap with flap". I have not had any problems so far. Have been through a couple of storms and it has been fine.

As others have said moving your furniture to the middle is good practice cause rain will come through the sides. There are spots where bugs could come through where the roof poles connect to the sides but it doesn't seem do be a problem yet and we live in minnesota.

Heavy rain will collect and bow the top so you'll have to be careful to knock the water off the top. A little rain will sheet off the top

I'm in Michigan and it has remained dry inside after rain and snow..no leaks through the roof. You need to make sure it is slightly higher than surrounding terrain in order to prevent water from coming in at the floor.

I have had no problem either. You can put a snap hook on it if you are worried about the wind. The top fits perfectly and everything inside stays dry.

No, the slats are open to the outside and allow ventilation, but so far Rain and Snow have not gotten in.

Snow might land on top of it, but that would not interfere with the operation. I live in Detroit and we're near record snowfall this winter, but this unit is performing like a champ.

Here in Lansing, MI were still fighting snow weather. I did take it out once during the first rain we received last week, and it did pretty well. Just have to make sure the vents are closed both front and back.

I do not think this will stand up to high winds(not sure what high winds constitutes), it can take 40-50 mile winds with no issues as long as it is secured to the ground. Above that I think if anything major like hurricanes or strong storms are coming through you`d have to take of the roofing panels if you don`t want it to get damage. The gazebo is somewhat mediocre(the screws strip out very easily) but it is durable and a great price. There is no snow where I live(there never will be#southeasttexas) but I think it would be fine.

Hi Katherine,I just cleared my roof after 8 inches of snow, followed by light freezing rain, and then 3 more inches of snow. It was a little harder to push it up the roof, but certainly not impossible. Certainly much better (and safer) than going up there and chopping it all yourself!

Roof is adequate for straight rainfall. Blowing rain will be a problem. Siding is such poor quality that there are some small gaps.
