We have had this solarium for about ten tears now, it has held up very well. We've had small hail storms over the years and the roof has held with out pitting or such. It's south facing so once the sun hits, it does get very hot with out windows open for a cross breeze. We've added shantex eco-tiles on the floor (cement slab). I've cut and framed a dog door on a side panel, so it doubles as a large dog house lol. To clear the snow off, I use a small windshield squeegee (rubber side down lol) screwed on to a painters pole The only beef I have with it when we assembled it by the instructions, the door slides open on the out side. The bottom "door track" is exposed to the weather, and gets clogged up if not kept clean. I've had to use a flathead screwdriver and a mallet (hammer) to un-clog it.
