We get some pretty severe winds here. Would this cause damage to our deck if it got caught in wind? Or does the wind not cause many issues with it?

I do not have high winds in my area however it is a mesh type fabric and the air passes through readily. It does not move much here.

I live in Oregon and it does get wind here. If the wind shold ever tear down the sail, it would not damage the deck.

Mine is under a pergola (which is attached to my deck) and have never had a problem with wind. I actually have 3 shades under there and not a problem all season.

I left two outside all winter. We had severe winds often. They are attached to my wood patio awning and a tree. No damage to the wood structure (built like a deck) however one of the shades tore at the corner. The other weathered everything and is still hanging.

I haven't used it outdoors. It comes with tiedows but the stakes are small. I would suggest using some weight on the bottom of the legs. Still a strong wind could potentially damage the frame. The pipes are not made to withstand a lot of pressure. the screen itself could also tear should a strong gust come up. Wouldn't suggest using if winds were over 7-10mph. Great for indoor use and on a fairly calm night outside. I wouldnt risk it.

Hi, Not really. We had some strong winds in Elk Grove, CA. a couple of weeks ago and it was all over the backyard. My husband recently purchased some hooks to attach to the fence next time we get a gust of strong winds. For the price it is a good deal. Hope that helps. Amy

Absolutely not. Wind, rain, pretty much any element is an issue. I'm on my third one and my review is changing as I realize how few things it stands up to. It's perfect for what you are describing but if the wind is heavy you are in trouble. I have anchored it down but then came the rain and it caved in.

We personally have never had any issues with ours. We recently had over 70 mile an hour winds an no problems.

I live in the NW- By Seattle,WA. We get high winds mostly spring and fall-winter. So far, My screen fence has withstood the current high winds- Mine is Doubled up for extra privacy- facing West- to East secured on my side of the chain link. Mine billows like a sail and so far handles wind just fine- Single layer Vs wind ? should work fine. Some sunlight will show thru. kinda sparkles in late afternoon sun. Hope this helps- I've only had mine a month + D.Durham

I'd be a little concerned about it if there was any wind. While you can stake it down I don't know if it will hold if it was windy. Hope this helps.

Pretty good depending on what type of wind, when its staked down it holds really well. There is also sand bags on each corner to add more weight if needed.

Moderate wind. Mine has never fallen over and I leave it on a table on the deck during the worst of storms. But I would imagine if we had a strong tropical storm it would probably tip over.

it will definately cause water damage as it is a porous material. weight is another question and would depend on the structure of the deck.

It will blow away. We've already lost ours to a strong wind because it wasn't staked at the time. However, there are nylon loops you could use to tie it to something. Hope this is helpful.

I was concerned about that myself when we purchased the shelter. We live on top of a mountain in the country and have had wind gust up to 50-60 mph this winter. We have had absolutely no problems with it. I did put it by a row of trees to help protect it and staked it down with additional re-bar and clamps. the canopy and structure have held up well.

Haven't tried outside... I imagine it would work fine if there wasn't much wind. Works great though....

As long as they aren't too awfully big I don't see a problem. We are out in the middle of nowhere so these things aren't a problem for us. We do have lots of strong winds and it seems to be doing OK with that. Looks great too. Good luck.

Hi, Mary! Yes, I placed mine on my deck and have had no problems with it. It doesn't need to be anchored down because it is sufficiently heavy to remain in place. I suppose if you live in an area with extremely strong winds things might be different but it hasn't been an issue for me.

I live in the deep South. We have wind gust sometimes exceeding 30mph. I put the swing in my yard on an existing frame. I do not weigh it downwith anything. It has enough weight that it stays secure. Hope this is of some help.it down

we can have heavy winds where I live. I have had no problems with wind opening my gate. It works great after about 8 months. The only thing I need to do is make sure everything is tightened down (nuts and bolts) on a regular basis as it shares in the instructions.
