I'd say covering your plant with frost cloth to protect from cold weather is easier than moving around a giant 50+lb pot!

It will take the heat ok, just make sure it has enough water. A sprinkler on a timer will keep things cooled off just fine in the extreme 100+ heat.

And a frost cloth won't help as much if it dips below 40 for more than a couple days, of course me being the scientist I am, i'd just stick a little space heater underneath the frost cloth for prolonged cold protection!
