Will this stand up to heavy north michigan snow if it is next to a fence that will protect one side?

Good question. The top of this canopy is a thick canvas and the base is connected by bolts. Though it has held up for me very well over the past two years, I doubt this will fair well under snow loading.

This is designed to be a temporary canopy. The manufacturer says to take it down when stormy weather comes. It is not rated for snow. May hold up if you go out every day and remove all the snow from the canopy. But don't let high drifts pile up against the legs. Take a drive around your area and see if anyone up there has a similar light weight fabric canopy installed -- probably not very many. If you want a more sturdy and permanently installed canopy, look at the all metal types.

It is extremely heavy duty, but we remove the canopy in the winter, it is the best canopy I have ever bought,great product

it's primarily meant to use in the snow, I don't see how you would break it using it there. it is built pretty well.

high winds? Yes, if it is anchored down. All structures should be cleared of to much snow, small amounts it will handle.

I live in the south so I don't know about snow. I used this product for the first time this year as a barrier around a 12"x12" garden. I reapply after a heavy rain or about every 3 weeks. I live in an area with significant deer and so far my summer and winter garden appear protected.

I would suggest dissembling it for winter if you aren't going to use it. It stands up well, but it doesn't hurt to keep it out of the elements when you can!

With proper ventilation (to keep your roof cold) and insulation (so house air doesn't warm it up) you shouldn't have any ice damns so will be OK. I redid all that on my place before installing the guard, so don't know how it does with heavy damning. Without damning it has held up fine in the snow.

Sorry, it's covered by snow right now....if you ask me when all the snow melts I'd be able to help out. If you measure from the connecting hole for the next fence on up you should be within an inch

Good question, but I'm not the one to ask unfortunately. I purchased it in the fall and it been freezing and cold here in the N.E. Based on its construction, which is fairly heavy duty plastic of a honeycomb type nature (its not solid plastic but has cavities between the inner and out layers) I would imagine it would hold up well.

I would not plan on it for winter. The posts are strong enough for it but the covering MIGHT last one winter. My personal advice is do not plan on for winter. Heavy rains oh yes as we've had some already!!

don't know because i haven't used it yet. no snow. maybe someone else can answer. my best guess would be no. ask again in a couple of weeks, & i'll probably have an answer................

I have mine outside in the elements and it survived our Michigan winter with 50mph wind gusts and -20 temps. It will probably get me thru one more season. If you want a cover that lasts many seasons you will pay three times or more than what this cover costs.

I don't know why it wouldn't, it holds up well out here in AZ. Heat doesn't bother it. I don't know about freezing winters, might need to store it, or just cover it.

Yes. Ours was left outside with cover thru brutal northeast winter and it held up beautifully.

You would need to cut down a standard 4 x 4 to the dimensions of 2.75" x 2.75" in order to "sleeve" these picket corners over a post: This is my third such corner, and the previous two have stood up to northern Minnesota winters for nearly 15 years now, without shifting noticeably....

I'd say you will have no problem. I'm in Chicago, and last winter was absolutely terrible. I have 2 of these and they survived just fine. Mine are in a corner protected from wind however

Yes, it closes solidly. Now if you have snow pack up against it, there may be some water leakage around the edges.

I didnt Support it when I first got it and heavy wind it blew over but didnt break. After I mounted it to on one side and a bouganvillia grew up the other side its sturdy and secure. It's pretty thick so if your are mounting the bottom of the legs with or in concrete I would say yes no issue. Or if the fence thats in concete is being attached to the sides of th arbor.
