Sheilding it from sun is a good idea.

Freezing and thawing is not good.

ice on it is not the best

animals can nest in it.

mildew ad mold form on it.

Answer 2

If its a modern canoe, it could be, but I'd shelter it from the sun and weather whenever its not in use, oh, and if you leave it outside, please turn it upside down......

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

yes i left mine out side all year long just put something under it so its off the ground also make sure its turned upside down so the water won't  get into it. in the spring i give it a wax job which makes it look like it's new

Answer 5

they can but all constructions plastic molding and the composite fiber glass (and Carbon) and wooden, all eventually suffer from frost and sunlight damage these so best practice is to store under cover or indoors,

but yeah you could leave them outside!
