how thick are the poles and is it snow resistant?

Well the poles are arched and smooth but not real thick... As to snow? I would not recommend plus not very wind resistant either, mine lasted about one year then started falling apart! Hope this helps

Pole Diameter: Main Pole: 1.65"x 1.25"; Supporting beam: 1" Immediately remove any accumulated water, snow or ice from the roof structure with a broom, mop or other soft-sided instrument. If you fail to do so, the weight of water, snow or ice will damage your tent. It is not designed to hold the loads that can accompany wind, rain, snow or ice storms. Manufacture is not responsible for these damages. The owner of the tent has the sole responsibility. If you have additional questions, please call us at 214.491.6991 Monday-Friday 9am-4pm CST.

Go to companies that sell much higher quality units , like Shelters of America or Portable Garage Depot

It's not too thick, you can use it in the snow but you need a couple of extra layers

Hi, I cannot comment on the snow aspect [especially living in Florida] but it stands up pretty gusty winds. This actually is our 2nd King canopy,the 1st one was 10ft x12ft and it lasted 4 yrs,till the canopy gave out,not bad in our heat sun & wind.This new one is 10ft x 12ft and has a 6 pole system instead of 4,they are well made and easy to erect,we may actually buy a spare canopy $49 dollars,good to have as a spare. Hope this has been of help. Ann & Ken Owen. Florida.

No, It is water resistant as it has a coating on the top and seems to hold up to our snow but I would not call it water proof. Very solid.

Have not used it in snow yet. I anticipate that it will work fine as long as the snow is not really deep.

The pole is a heavy plastic so it is plenty sturdy. It's about 2 feet tall so we can see it from quite a distance. We bought ours a year ago to mark the spot where we buried our dog. It has worked every day since. That is important because we live in SEAlaska where we have a lot of cloudy days. I hope this helps.

We did not use our during the winter yet. We had it up in August and it survived some high winds from summer storms without any issues. I was impressed on how sturdy and easy to assemble it was for the price :) Hope this helps

That's minus the stake. There is the black plastic stake, which I would say is about 6inches long and then after that the metal part of the pole which sticks out of the dirt. It shows beautifully and I like them so much that I bought more for my garden. They do get covered by the snow though. If the snow isn't too deep the light will show through the snow and melt a circle. It looks pretty. Hope that answers your question. :)

Yes, it is. I really like mine and they were buried under 8-10 feet of snow this winter. Only one board warped and otherwise held up well.

We have not had any significant snow since we have had the canopy. We have had it for almost 2 years now and is still doing great. Withstands strong winds very well.

There are 2 bars that go across the back. I really don't know about the weight yet. We haven't had a lot of snow on it. Seams sturdy...

Due to the snowpack, I cannot measure it exactly, but, with the anchors all the way into the ground, the posts are over 5 feet above ground

It's stable. We load it up with heavy winter costs, and it doesn't tip, but the poles themselves are not solid- they're lightweight.

It is very sturdy and seems strong but I'm in South Carolina so not sure on the snow

It is pretty sturdy all right, but uncertain about snow load. You would need to ask the company about that. I have kept mine up all year with rain and wind and no damage. I love Coolaroo.

Since you use your own post inside it, it holds up like any other wooden post. Mine is anchored in concrete, so I have no doubt that it would hold up to snow plow trucks. Not that we ever see them around here.

We've had it outside the entire time, and it has done fine. It isn't very heavy, but comparatively sturdy enough to handle thunderstorms for example. We live in the south, so i can't tell you about snow, but i hope this helps
