If this is wet and I fold it, and then it freezes, will the plastic become brittle and shatter (want to use @ farmstand as a wind block on cold days)

I have use the same one on my green house for three years. I will be putting a new one after this winter. I have also build another green house this year and I put the same one on it.I have the new roll aa ready to redo my first green house. It`s a great plastic.

First, I in no way speak for the Warp Brothers company. However I would roll the sheeting on a piece of pvc pipeand have no sharp folds. Store on end to drain rain and out of the sun when not in use.

We live up in the mountains in colo. & we used it for a green house this summer & its still up . it is about 24F & lots of snow so we went out to check it out for you & its very bendable still in good shape hope this helps you out .

I assume yes as long as you cover the table and store it somewhere that not much snow and ice accumulates on top otherwise the plastic may bend and brake!!!

I live in Maryland and it freezes here. I spoke to the manufacturer who said you must remove them for winter, or a prolonged deep freeze could cause ice build-up on and inside the plastic parts to split the seams of the parts. It will also create uneven ice formation possibly damage the structure of the pool itself, potentially to the point of failure. I'm taking mine out, even if I need to hire Hercules. They were too expensive to find them damaged next spring!

As long as it doesn't fill with water, you should be fine. The plastic is weatherproof, but will be more brittle with low temps.

The pole is not solid. It fits into a sleeve you set into the soil and turns/spins freely within that metal sleeve. If the wind blows with cloths on it, it should spin around. Look on YouTube for videos too! We are not gentle people, but only use this seasonally at a lake cabin. It holds a lot of clothes and is very easy to install, use and we lift out a store away in the snowy winters. Put a cap over hole of the sleeve. All included. A cover too.

The material seems strong but I don't know how it would react to freezing. Plastic may be better.

I was actually surprised with the durability of this plastic. It withstands the wind well as long as there are no sagging parts or loose ends for the wind to grab. However it does not withstand weather during the winter in colder places, mine became brittle under freezing conditions but i think it would work fine long term in a tropical environment, hope this helps.

It will break the windshield, but because there is a layer of plastic in the middle the windshield will shatter but not actually fall apart. Short answer is NO.

It is a very heavy plastic. I think it would take alot to break it. I have two of them and am very pleased with the product, and it has gotten as cold as 14 below zero here.

It should be able to be rolled. Folding would create a crease on the edge that might leak. The biggest issue I would see is how to keep it from unrolling. You would most likely have to brace it. I do love this mat though. It holds a ton of water and keeps it off the floor. I've been very impressed as we've had a lot of snow and rain and street gunk. I just squeegee the water out. It's great!

No, I'd shy away from that. Plastic will become hard in water and potentially crack. The changing of the weather will likely ruin it.

I also keep mine on a heater in winter, so it's never cold enough to crack from dropping. Now--if I didn't warm it, the water inside would freeze (as it does occasionally on the edges, even with the heater), and then you'd be dropping a frozen chunk of ice. I guess the fount could crack under those circumstances, but the only issue I've had with cracking is the base (red part) because it's not supposed to be placed on a heater.

I have had it outside for a while in the rain, with no issues. However, if gets cold enough to freeze, the lock stiffens up quickly.

I have just installed the box and haven't been in winter weather with it yet. I am planning to install a sheet metal cover over it and will be o.k. if I keep it dry.

It fits securely to the ground. I don't know if it becomes brittle in extreme cold but my gas mower is covered in 100º+ full sun and very strong thunderstorms with absolutely no weather concerns . I was initially skeptical because price was very reasonable so even if I replaced it every couple years it is so worth it. I do not believe I will have to though

I'm doing it. Even freezing temperature shouldn't effect it. It floats, keeps debris out, adds insulation, and it has been unaffected by two months in the water under our winter cover.

Very durable. I use mine for picnics on my motorcycle and carry it on a rack exposed to wind and strapped down with 2 small ratchet straps. It will not retain water if you use ice, but I use the frozen gel packs. Good product for short term.
