What do you do with it during the winter? Leave it out? Or take it apart. We live in MN.

We have kept it under an awning in the back without breaking it down. We will have it a yr this Aug and it has kept it's color and everythng so far.

Since this is a great product for kids, I would take the time to remove the pads and the trampoline netting then reassemble in the spring.

I don't know exactly, but I am going to take off the foam and protective barrier and put a tarp over the trampoline and springs. Then shovel off the snow periodically to save it from rotting out.

We leave it out - we live in Southern California. It is only exposed to heat and sun, and it hasn't cracked, and only has faded minimully. Sorry, not sure how it would hold up to real weather.

One additional thing on this - the website for the manufacturer states it is OK to leave outdoors. I live in MN and have no plans to bring it inside...too tall even if I wanted to.

You could probably remove it but I used it under freezing conditions in Maryland with no problem.

We left ours outside in Ohio through the winter. I was surprised how well it held up through all the snow and ice. There are some evidence of wear but that comes with the elements of being outside. It is small enough that you could bring in the garage in the winter but I do not think that would be nessecary. When it rains sometimes the windows do not shut because the wood expands, but they always go back to normal once it dries up. Good Playhouse for the price.

Yes,you can leave it out in the rain on, works fine. But you should put it away for winter before it freezes.

I packed up the pump and stored it indoors for the winter. The freezing and thawing will not be good for the unit.

I leave mine out year round in central Illinois. I've had it for over two years, and the frame finally cracked today while scooping with the weather in the 20's. I've used it many times in the cold weather, though, so I think this was likely due to a combination of its age and the cold. I feel like I got my money's worth out of it, so I am ordering another one.

It snows a bit here where I live and we leave ours up all year. Just make sure that you winterize yours with the proper chemicals, before covering for the winter. It makes life a lot easier come spring time.

We live in Nebraska and we left the furniture outside over the winter. We left the cover on and it was fine. I will probably move it indoors next year (its super light and easy to move) to reduce wear and tear. However, it looks great this spring and seems quite durable.

Removal is simple. I took it down before the winter snows in a matter of five minutes. By myself, it took longer to fold it up for storage. It is a quick and easy job.

we take ours down during the winter. Never see any around. I honestly forget!!

Hi there- I just use it for the winter. I'mafraid to leave it on while I use the air conditioner.

Sorry, I'm out of the loop. Just had it 4 months before I stored it for the winter.

Ah, in that case, I would leave it up. You probably have the best weather in the nation. Keep it up if it's not in your way and if you plan on using it all year long! We can only use it about 3 months each year in NJ.

Since we r in CA. I just empty all the water out of it and let it sit out in the sun. You could also use a blow dryer.

You can take it apart. We live near woods and have raccoons in the area and have not had a problem

We had alot of snow and dirt last winter. Often I had to use wet/dry vacuum. But it contained most of it and was nicer than not having anything to catch it.
