Does anyone own this that lives where the winters get extremely cold? I live in North Dakota, and curious if this would hold up during cold temps???

It is a terribly flimsy item. It can not hold even a 115 pound pre teen with out creeking and crying and everything in it gets wet. I haven't had it long enough to know if it will winter. I intend to throw it out when I close down for the summer.

I live in Washington and just got this but others at my location have them and seem to like them.

Not sure about winter but plastic is kinda thin so it might not with stand extreme cold

I don't see why not. The heat makes it warp slightly. If it rains hard, it'll likely get water inside. I don't think cold temperatures would hurt it.

From North Dakota.. this is the only heater in the family room and keeps it toasty warm! Been very happy with it.

As I bought mine a few weeks ago, I don't have a full winter's use of it, yet. We've had very cold weather and relatively lots of snow in southern New Jersey. It's done the job. I put a water-resistant cover where the heater's plug connects with the extension cord. The less expensive deicers I've had in the past haven't lasted more than 2 winters, but this one seems much sturdier.

I left the slide attached to the swingset, but have not used it during the winter months. The slide appears to be quite sturdy, but not sure how it would hold up through really cold temps. I believe the coldest it has been this winter is approx. +8 F. Not sure if you are in a colder climate. Not sure this info helps. My daughter has had a lot of fun on the swingset. Hopefully this ends up being maintenance free.

I should have brought it in to the gardening shed...but forgot. We live in mid-Michigan and had a very bitter winter with a lot of snow. I left it out and no problems - have already begun using again, now that we've had an unusually warm early Spring. It still looks great! No signs of damage. I don't plan on pushing our luck next year.

I used mine all winter long in the basement here in central il. Havent had any issues and the thing works great! Ive unplugged it a few times but for the most part it runs 24/7. I know for sure it ran alright around 50°f maybe lower.

This is my second winter using it and I love the thing. As far as I'm concerned it was worth the price. I haven't had any issues with mine.

This thing is amazing, it's been up for two really rough winters here in New England! This past winter was unreal, it held six feet of snow till we could reach it with a roof rake, still strong as ever... highly recommend. Ours is on a cement slab.

Hi, We live in Chicago and it has been working just fine in the cold weather. No Problems! We have already had 10 degrees and its perfect. Its really worth the money.

I live a few houses off the lake in NH, and it held up ok for the first year in wind and snow. I have a few rooftop units. I did notice a little tear where it clearly caught a sharp edge...I don't know that any cover would hold to that. I'll duct tape it this year and I'm sure it will be fine.

Keep in mind that this is inflated heavy duty plastic. Like most plastic things when they get too cold, they crack. I wouldn't risk it in really cold weather. We live in Florida and take ours down in November. If you want one for colder weather, you'd have to go with a hard sided one. That will be my next choice.

I have not had that happen to me and I live in ND so have experienced a lot of cold weather this winter. However I have only had the dog for 1 year - this being the first winter. We have 3 large dogs that are constantly going in and out as well - love this door!
