How will screen hold up with a mild wind. Not a hurricane per se, but a romantic summer breeze? Is this durable?

Yes it seems like a good quality screen. I have it outside in the woods by our cabin. I do not have the stand, but I attach the four corners to trees with hooks. I take it down when we are done using it. We are happy with it.

A light breeze won't hurt the screen but it will move around enough that it's hard to watch anything on when it it blowing.

It does not hold up well with any wind. We usually just tie a rope to the legs and anchor it down that way.

If its properly installed it will stand up to winds very well. We have had winds from light to all day 25mph winds and storms up to 75mph we have had it almost a year no problems.

I have mine outside in the elements and it survived our Michigan winter with 50mph wind gusts and -20 temps. It will probably get me thru one more season. If you want a cover that lasts many seasons you will pay three times or more than what this cover costs.

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.

We have had one for ten years. Had to replace it last year. Not a problem with rain but the new screening comes apart. Had it replace twice already and it needs replacing again. I put it up to not quality screen used.

While this screen is fairly light, and well built, it is not meant to be moved. I actually replaced a pull down seen with this one, and you may wish to consider that, but the problem with the pull downs is that the screen develops waves and does not give you the true picture of a stationary screen.

We always set ours up on the patio and use bungee cords (2) to secure it from the top of the screen to the deck top. We only leave it up for the duration of the party due to possible issues with wind. Any reasonable wind could tweak it and cause damage. The framing is very solid, however one never knows when that freak wind may blast through.

A level surface like a hardwood floor would be a great place for the screen. Stability will be determined by how you fold the panels. If you bunch them closer together the screen is heavy enough to withstand a little wind; however, the more you stretch them out the more the more unstable it be comes. We purchased two and folded them closer together to make them more stable. They are better than we expected. Since the are heavier than most of the others that we tried, we believe that they are more stable and durable.

So far it has been great. In the last couple of weeks we have had some really bad storms here. I thought for sure I was going to come home to find the screen torn or shredded. It has worked great with the highwinds. One suggestion would be to spend the money on good zip ties . I went with some cheaper ones and now I'm replacing them.

I don't know about heat, but it will stand up to wind. We live at Catawba Island and it's super windy here and the last few weeks has been EXTREMELY windy....the cover is fine.

It only needs to be secured if it is windy. It does have things to secure the screen down. Since you would be setting it up on your patio, maybe you can tie it down to something.

I have used it in breezy conditions (but not heavy winds) and it held up. However, the canopy is quite large and it catches the wind. It will be hard to manage in heavy winds. It is sturdier than most umbrellas sold today.

Ours is sturdy and has never fallen, however, it never encounters wind. It stands on shiny, slippery tiles and gets bumped every day by people passing by and adjusting it. As was stated by someone else, stability is determined by keeping the panels folded, i.e., at 90 degree angles, bunched together. We learned from previous experience with screens -- if you over-extend the screen, it will fall when bumped; folded/bunched, ours never falls.

Yes it's solid nothing flimsy on it, although the ridge on the bottom of the screen dose mak dust very visible, so kind of have to run a finger along it too clean it every so often.The screen is pretty good imo it's responsive works great in the -30c weather so far.

Yes, it was nice for the price but it can't withstand wind very well. Make sure you anchor it down.

It's pretty resilient with the outdoor. But that's from my experience. The only thing annoying is the plastic that protects your screen. I used mine for a year. Only reason why I don't use it anymore now is because I do workout videos at home and keep my phone in my pockets.

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.
