Sorry please read "in an outdoor context".
Drmanu49 Sep 11, 2008:
Hors gel is most commonly used (mise hors gel) when speaking about keeping house temperature high enough so pipes won't freeze. I have never heard it outside of that context and definitely not for in outdoor context.

It really is totally impossible to say without more context, Julie. You have 4 perfectly acceptable possibilities already, but they are not synonyms.
Laura Gómez Sep 11, 2008:
"unable"? :)
Philippa Smith Sep 11, 2008:
Some context would be good - type of document and the sentence, for instance.

above freezing (temperature)

Cheaper models can be noisy and often give poor temperature control. ... your home still need to be heated to well above freezing to avoid freezing pipes. ...

Well, I though "anti-gel" = anti-freeze

store indoors (during the winter months)

this really depends on context, if for example you have instructions to "mettre hors gel en hiver" and assuming the 'thing' can be dismounted
