We live in windy city Chicago. Can the shade withstand really strong wind like 20mph?

The shade is light weight and one solid piece, so I would think it would be able to. Also, the ties can secure a knot pretty well. I love this shade, it's very useful for is here in sunny So Cal.

It copes with a reasonable amount of wind IF you set it up properly. The front needs to be as curved as possible to provide rigidity.

I bought a maroon colored one and I would think that it would be fine outdoors. Don't know how well it would handle a wind!

Yes, it can handle strong wind. We loved ours in all weather. In fact, ours did well until the snows hit. We got a foot of snow and ours crumples like an accordion. It was about 10 months old. We were very sad to lose it.

We have our gazebo on the rooftop deck in Chicago (think windy city), while it is vented very well, in high winds it did start to shake and move, so we ended up screwing it to the deck and filling the hollow columns with sand (about 1 80lbs bag per column), the combination of the sand and the screws makes it rock solid. In the winter we take the canvas down so not to get snow build-up. If your not in as windy a place, you might just try the sand trick.

the Mesh doesnt affect the shade unless it is Morning or late evening sun, and that kind of light isnt hot like midday sun. For the price this is a really good Shelter...if your going to a beach be sure to use sand stakes...4 minimum, 6 if your going to be in winds above 35mph...with 6 sand stakes this thing isnt budging in a gust...we sheltered in ours from a squall that blew in on the Virgin Islands, with more than 25MPH gusts...

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.

Yes, it is very strong . We used it when it was windy and it was ok and as we can change the position it is very convenient to be able to be protected against the wind

I don't think it will handle the wind in a hail storm or hail larger than a dime size. the sides hook into one another and can be snapped off and apart if the wind is really hard.

I can't imagine it could withstand wind, if it is above the windshield. I'm short and I like the way it makes the visor go further down the windshield and block the sun. The small piece can be moved back and forth for extra darkening. I like mine. Hope this answers your Q.

Yes, we had 20-30 mph one day and this worked out great, my umbrella had been out too.

No they are not., but with the front and back cross tied the shelter can handle 15mph winds.

It did fine in the wind. We had one day with strong winds that would make the tent bend a bit but it never pulled loose from the stakes in the ground. We didn't even used the sandbags.

I would think you could with a steady 20+ mph wind. This kite has kicked my ass at 30+

Hello! Absolutely not. Do not purchase this product. I live in Central TX, the winds can get up to 20mph. I've come in to work and have seen this flag across the street, down the street and the string that's supposed to keep it secure failed. I kept trying and put it in different places on the block, in GRASS, but it didn't matter. I don't think it really matters what company you go with. Just try to maybe get a longer steak. good luck.

We live in Arizona where the winds getting pretty strong... so far it has not had a problem... you might want to use a wire coat hanger to keep the reflectors stiffer

We have only tried all the way up and all the way down. we usually keep it down so that we have a little extra space around the canopy on our deck. The best thing about this canopy I would say is that it has been sturdy in 20+ mph winds. beyond that wind speed we just lower the legs so that the canopy stands about 5ft. high and then we add some weight to the tarp itself (plant pots.,etc.) so that the canopy stays in place.

I do not think this will stand up to high winds(not sure what high winds constitutes), it can take 40-50 mile winds with no issues as long as it is secured to the ground. Above that I think if anything major like hurricanes or strong storms are coming through you`d have to take of the roofing panels if you don`t want it to get damage. The gazebo is somewhat mediocre(the screws strip out very easily) but it is durable and a great price. There is no snow where I live(there never will be#southeasttexas) but I think it would be fine.
