I wouldn't leave any summit or aluminum stand out in the elements over night. I love summits but I sent 4 of them back to the factory for replacement before I found out what the problem was. every stand I got would eventually stay making a creaking noise. It wasn't super loud but it sounded loud enough I'd been busted a couple times.

A summit rep finally told me that leaving the stand out for days would allow the metal to expand and contact with temperature changes and eventually lead to microscopic cracks in the welds. He also said if it rained water could get in the tubes and freeze causing the welds to crack enough to be dangerous.

I never had that problem with steel stands but every aluminum stand I left out for a week or longer would have that problem.


That's weird. I left my Goliath in a tree from mid January until the following September and it's never popped like that.
