Would this be able to be left out all seasons even in harsh Ohio winters with lots of snow and extremely cold temps?

This is our first winter with the item. We've had a bad new york winter and we have been satisfied with the purchase

I don"t know. I put it in the basement for this hard awful winter we have had. (northeast). I know with heavy rain it didn't have any problem. Sorry i can't help more.

Hi Davis ,I wouldn't , I thought about just leaving out , but changed my mind . If you room to store it for the winter , I say do it .

No. I wouldn't think but I keep mine in 40 degree temp in winter months. You should be able to down load owners manual to be for sure.

I have only had the unit a little over a month. I only use it on hot days, therefore I don't think I would be using it during the winter. I store it in my truck cabin when not in use, such as nights and cloudy cool or cold days.

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, in fact you can leave it in the window the whole winter. It might let a little cold air in however. If you do a good job of sealing the hose you should be fine.

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.

I live in Northern Ontario. I've had two bad winters with this top and there doesn't seem to be a problem at all with the snow. I do remove the snow before I drive it and on occassion, when it's sitting in the driveway. The top still looks brand new and it is still very tight.

maybe under a covered porch. depending where you live, you may not want to leave it out during winter

Either way should be fine. If your winters include snow, take it down for that season.

Great, we installed it last fall and this was a harsh winter. The snow falls right through!

I had no issues with snow drifts and unit is still in fine shape. The largest open area (the top) is covered and I was advised not to fully encase a unit for possible problems with moisture when no air circulates. In short, I am very happy with this cover.

Tom I live in central upstate NY also and u don't have any more snow and ice than we do here. If it breaks you'll have hood damage to I would think. It is very well constructed and I would never worry about it breaking.

The instructions state that you can leave it on all year long. Don't see why you can't leave it on. Purchase this just prior to winter, so i haven't had it that long.

IMHO, Absolutely! I have used mine for over a year...outside. It is mounted on the corner of the house, beneath the over hang from the roof. It has snowed, hailed and experienced negative Fahrenheit temperatures this winter with no trouble at all.

Mine held up to a rough Michigan winter. You're supposed to knock off excess snow throughout the season but I only did that if it was more than about 4 inches at a time

Yes. It can be left outside in all weather. I left mine out all spring, summer and fall and had no issues with the weather.

I used it all last winter in Northeast Ohio. Had many nights below 10° below zero. It was under a roof but side of building open to outside. Worked well ..... You do have to top off every few days due to evaporation....
