I live in NW GA (Atlanta), so the maximum temperature isn't likely
worse that what you see. Just more days above ~90F (and more humidity,
which is irrelevant in this case).

Do you you live in an area that gets snow? (If you mentioned it, sorry, I
missed it.) If you do, how do you remove the snow, assuming that's an issue?

It was right there...he's in Hotlanta...not _much_ snow.

I think you're missing (the other) Keith's (Nuttle) post. Not sure
where he lives.

The facility to be able to not have to go over or around is useful where
is snow, however, "trudat!".

For light snow, sure. For a foot or three, it's going to be hard to
get it under, too. At some point it's easier to go over. ...or wait
for spring.

Not true. Regardless of the amount of snow, you can always take some off
the top and toss it side to side until you have a path to the under-rail
opening. Then it's just a matter of knocking the sides down into the path
and pushing it through. BTDT lots of times.

I've sometimes had enough snow on the deck that I've opened the sliding
door and started shoveling from inside the house, tossing the snow side
to side until I've got enough room to get out on the deck and close the
door behind me. If I would have tried to step out, I would have knocked
snow backwards into the house.

Waiting until spring is not really an option for me. Even if I don't
clear the entire deck after a snowfall, I always shovel a path to the
grill. ;-)
