Is it a tough exterior? My daughter is a farmer.

I have to beg to differ. I have a 5 acre property with two horses, I ride at another barn where I keep my own horse, and then I work at a barn with 18 horses. You get the picture, lots of barns, lots of wear and tear. This coat has held up incredibly well, washes extremely well, and is still just fine after a few years of near daily fall and winter use. I am looking possibly get another "non-barn" jacket here.

I wouldn't recommend it for her, because it snags pretty easily. As my husband said, "It's no Carhartt".

I don't believe it is particularly 'tough' if you are asking if it would hold up to repeated abrasive wear. It has the same texture as a windbreaker. That, combined with the reflective interior material, makes it very effective though.

It is thick and heavy. Living in south central Texas, I think it would withstand my weather which is hot and humid.

Eleanor, I got this for my mother. She has it up against the side of her house with heavy pots in it. She hasn't had any problems but it is in a somewhat sheltered area. We were both surprised with the quality of the greenhouse when we got it. We were not expecting much with the cost and packaging. My mom has been very pleased and it is serving its purpose for her.Hope this helps.

Our backyard is protected by a fence. There have been winds of perhaps 50 mph and the entire structure is still standing, no damage. We have experienced over 3 ft of snow and it continues to be intact. In a few weeks we hope to be able to get out in the back yard and start enjoying it again. The kids used it this winter to jump off of into the snow. Very happy with our investment

We have a large concrete patio and tile throughout a majority of the house. My daughter doesn't seem to have trouble with it.

Yes it is very good protecting against wind, rain and snow. The seat is very sturdy for 2 children? We love it!

This coop is great for the suburbs! I have had this coop for 2 years and have no problems with the wood or construction. It is very sturdy. The hinges have a small bit of rust on them, but not enough to replace them. I live in a suburb and have not had a problem with any prediors, so I don't know how it would hold up if raccoons or foxes were trying to get in. The wood is softer than oak or decking wood, but no structional problems at this point. Fits my 2 Plymouth Rock hens wonderfully. I live in Kentucky and so far it has stood up to 2 hail storms, a 10 inch snowfall in one day, ice and temps in the low 100's in the summer. The only wear and tear is on the roofing tiles from the hail. Good luck! This coop is great for the suburbs! I have had this coop for 2 years and have no problems with the wood or construction.

Hi, we don't walk through the woods, but she does walk through some tall weeds along the end of yards and her mesh doesn't snag. The mesh is tightly wove and feels like nylon and has a slick feel so I don't think walking in the woods would be a problem.

Its good all around. A footprint would help the lifespan of the shelter though, but your good for rain.. Its the moisture that builds on the inside you have to worry about

We have used it a little outside. When we did it was fine. Word of advice do not let them stand on it.

We haven't had any issues with it, and we haven't put sand or anything in it, but it does sit under our table on a patio that doesn't get too windy! It's very cute. The edges are a little sharp. We like ours, especially for the price!

MIne is indoors, but the product design appears to be able to withstand the outdoor elements. Love it!!

The place where I am is very dry.... but from finish it appears it can take the outside porch mid East coast weather.. it is very sturdy and very well finished. .. I guess until you have this soaked in rain regularly, this will do fine. .. Good luck. .

I think it's tough. Seams are well built. Mine is full of bug out gear, without sagging or stretching.

Yes, it is sturdy and well made. It should not be exposed to pouring rain or lots of direct sun for the finish will be ruined, but Zi had mine in a screened in porch under heavy shade trees.

We live in New Mexico with similar climates it sounds like. It holds up well. However we plan ahead with cases of strong wind and lay it down on it's side in the mornings before we leave for work or at night before bed. My sister has one as well for her kids, and they have it filled with a sand and water mixture, and the don't lay it down like we do. Hers has not fallen. Hope that helps.

Seems to be. I mounted it on my tractor a couple months ago and it has been rained on several times. No problems so far.
