I have not mounted mine at this time. I put some rocks in the bottom of the planter and then plated some flowers. We have had winds sustained at about 35 mph with gusts up to 50 and they have not even swayed.

as far as numbers I can't tell You. But I can say they are well balanced and have low wind resistance. I have seen them survive winds as high as 50 to 60 mph. Winegard has always built high quality equipment.

I don't go by watts but my amps. I have mine on an amp meter and watch it all the time. I when it reaches about 25 amps, that is the max and that is about 25 to 30 knots of wind. To me what is important is how many amps it puts out in 8-12 knot range and it's not much, but more than most. I believe at 10 knots it puts out about 3 amps and at 15 knots about 6 amps.

Call the company directly and they will tell you which one to order. They are super helpful! We replaced ours and it holds up to -30 and 20-30 mph winds in Minot, ND! Buy with confidence.

You can buy a wind speed indicator, or use the Beaufort Scale http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/scales/beaufort.html

Sorry, don't know. but mine broke in the wind and i had to return it. I was then charged a hefty return postal fee. lost over 100.00 in 2weeks.

We haven't. We get some good gusts, but nothing sustained. I think it's heavy enough that would be a feat. Unless you're in a very high windy area.

It stood up well in a night-long rain/snow mix, though I had it covered with a plastic tarp. There was some wind, maybe 15 mph, which is why I used the tarp for warmth. I have not used it in a 30 mph wind.

I will give the installation a "5" rating. I live in Fort Worth which experiences wind gusts of more than 50 mph. I use some heavy concrete blocks to stabilize the system I did not want tn put a permanent anchoring system as it would probably bend the metal structure. My grand kids use mu set to learn to play not only golf but also baseball. The older ones practice their tennis serve.

The Heavy Duty Windstream uses , I think 2.7amps and 120 watts. These fans are powerful but don't use a lot of electricity like an Air Conditioner does. I often keep mine on all day long during the summer and run one upstairs and one downstairs for my dogs.

It has several tie down cords for the corners and grounding stakes. I have had mine in 20-30 mph wind gust with no real problems.

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.

The manufacturer does not state a wind load capacity other than the brake pads are tested to 70mph. You can see more details on the following link from the manufacturer. http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?PROD=TDP2

I would say about 5 pounds you hang something heavy and a wind comes up it might break

I don't see a wattage rating on the fan. It's as strong as any other fan I've used in this size. I run it about 3 feet behind me and it moves plenty of air on low setting.
