If I leave this outside year-round (in Charleston, SC) how many years to you think it would last?

I only bought mine earlier this year so it hasn't been through a cold snowy winter here yet but I think it will stand up to it quite well. It's a very thick two ply plastic with mesh between the layers. I think it would do great in SC.

Not sure about number of years. I'm in New Orleans, LA. I put mine up last year, November 2013 and it is doing fine thru a very cold winter and now a very hot summer. It appears to be just like it was when I put it up short of a bit of algae on the door which I have left rolled up in the open position since the weather became hot. I love this green house. It is a really good, durable material.

No I would not leave it outside indefinitely. If it doesn't blow away the UV rays will damage the canopy. This tent is made for temporary shelter like craft fairs etc.

We left it outside all summer long. We brought it in for the winter. We live in New England. It is still in good shape. It will probably need to be stained at the end of this summer. LOVE this table.

The metal on the top and bottom already has a "rusted", aged look to it. But, I wouldn't think the wood trim would last very long outside. I live in Houston with high humidity. I bought two and put them on either side of my buffet in my dining room. I love the way they look. I've looked at local stores and never found anything I liked better than these. The wood trim has a hint of burnt orange mixed in with the wood color and black. I hope this answered your question.

No. This would not last outside. The top is wood and the metal is not sturdy enough for out side.

I think so, as long as it's not left to the elements. Not sure of your climate but I wouldn't leave it outdoors in extreme weather, like summer here in FL or winter up North.

I would not recommend you leave this outside, the wood would probably warp and likely the metal will rust over time.

I've had it for a year on a covered, outdoor, back porch and have no rust. It can get wet or snowy if it is blowing hard enough.

I have had mine a couple years and leave it out in the winter, too. So far, I have not seen any deterioration in how it looks or its performance.

As long as you keep it cool and away from light it will stay usable for at least a year..Refrigerate and it'll last even longer..

I have had mine for 2 years & leave it out through Chicago winters. No rust yet.

I've owned mine for close to 4 years and used it hundreds of times. Even though I run it outside (in Florida, where the humidity is high), I have not had any problems with it. Overall, I'd say it's built really well.

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.

It would depend on amount of use and how well you take care of it. I expect mine to last 5 years at least.

I have mine on a covered porch and used it daily-one just like it for about 8 years. Outside if left up it would probably deteriorate much faster. Also buckles on shoes that might catch and cause a tear, are NOT a good idea.

It should last you several seasons. I use it along with homemade compost and Black Kow compost.

I think it can last up to two years. If you don't smell the cedar, you can sandpaper it so it will release again the smell.
