Is there a way to secure the cover so it don't blow off in the wind? Thanks, Chuck

Mine did not come with tie-downs or anything like that, but I think you should be able to rig up something fairly easily. Mine is like an envelope with a slit in the back to fit over the mount and cables and it slides down over the TV. It is used with a 51" TV and there is plenty of coverage at the bottom to cut some holes and use those to tie it down or get some adhesive velcro.

The cover has elastic straps that go under the TV, so it would take a pretty good wind to blow it off.I've had mine on an outdoor TV for the last several months with no problems.

I just lie a tarp over mine, if it is windy I suggest you do that and maybe use stakes or something on the corners so the tarp doesn't blow, but take your blower inside, because if it rains or is windy water/dirt can get inside your blower

How is it secured to resist wind? Guidelines? Weights? Do either come with it and if not where are they available?

I've had the cover on the hot tub all summer and haven't had a problem with the wind blowing the cover off or even moving the cover at all. I was expecting to have to weigh the cover down and planned on using small sand bags since the hot tub is situated in a windy corner of the yard but nope, it hasn't needed any anchoring yet.

Hi we live in Portland Tx, Spring and Summer can be very windy here, 3 corners are anchored to the house and one on Post cemented and then anchor to a tree otherwise the post will bend, hardware used ( steel cable, turnbuckles, anchor mounts) bought at lowes... Haven"t had any issues so far, great shade cover.

The cover fits just fine, but only has a drawstring to tighten it. As such, if you live in a windy area, it does not stay down very well.

Mine has been up in some crazy Colorado winds and done just fine, but I have the sand bag weights attached to it or it would have blown away. This is my 2nd year having it up.

It keeps the tent from blowing upward if it is windy !!! Trust me...you need them !!! We just did a party without them and wham...the wind came up and there went the tent right up and over people and cars !!! It was ugly and we will always from now on use them !!!!

I'm sorry, but I really don't know. I secured mine with some thin string to a gazebo-like structure. It held throughout our horrible winter with winds sometimes up to 35-45mph. Could you possible tie it up with long string to a nearby window?

No while sitting in the chair on a winding day I was blown over and hurt. After anchoring it down it was fine. Before that it would blow over on a windy day. Better safe than sorry anchor it.

Partially collapse the frame, put on the cover, it will not fit the hole, just lay on top of it, and open the umbrella. We could have cut a larger hole, but this method is working. We've had our umbrella over a month, 2 months, and have lots of wind, and it is just fine. No problem with it just laying there.

I bought one...no Velcro or anything securing the corners. We have had 35 mile winds today and it has stayed. So far!!

I have not had it up in heavy wind. I'm no expert but I would think anything tent or umbrella like will not hold up well in heavy wind. A beach breeze is no problem though with both sides open for ventilation. Does that help?

There are two eyelets on the bottom of the back side of the cover that can be bungee corded together by a cord you supply. I bought a pack of bungee cords that had different length cords so I could find one the proper length to connect the eyes. Once secured, the covers stay in place and won't blow off. They're fairly easy to install but it does require you to lay on the ground and reach behind the tires so you can put the cord hook through the eyes of the cover. Hope this helps.

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

In extremely windy conditions, I collapse mine and tie it. Any umbrella will catch a very strong wind and blow away.

No, I had to use bungee cords to hold it down. In large wind gusts it still came off.
