Is it sturdy enough, and heavily grounded for wind resistance.

it's heavy enough it's not likely to blow away, especially if you,attach the bottom on with screws.Ive never have one move in them wind with two of them sitting up against my house. it's. Very sturdy & Insulated too

Yes, it is awesome. I put one of those snuggie beds inside it and if you reach in you can feel how warm it is, like there is a heater. My cats love it!

The kitty Kat Condo has not blown off the deck even in storms. The condo repells the wind. The cat gets in there to get protection from the wind. I have the condo setting on top a small table so I thought the wind might take it off the deck but it has not moved even moved it. I think with the rounding of the house it resists the wind. It faces into the wind on the deck.

Yes it is, though I did put mine up against a bush. If you have 60 mile an hour winds, no guarantee's.:)If you are using this for a outdoor feral, or semi-feral cat, I would find someone who could drill a hole in the back. Does not need to be as large as the entrance. Feral cats need an entry and an exit to feel safe. I also suggest, SnuggleSafe. They are round disks with a fleeze pad. The disk can be micro-waved, put back in the pad, and under a blanket in the igloo. They stay warm for quite some time! Meow:)

Well it is pretty lite weight. It would be ok if the wind does not hit is directly I think. However I think I would anchor it to be sure.

I didnt Support it when I first got it and heavy wind it blew over but didnt break. After I mounted it to on one side and a bouganvillia grew up the other side its sturdy and secure. It's pretty thick so if your are mounting the bottom of the legs with or in concrete I would say yes no issue. Or if the fence thats in concete is being attached to the sides of th arbor.

We haven't had winds that strong since I installed it but I think it will hold up if installed properly. The anchors seem very well made to me. Hope that helps.

The dowels that hold it up are made of wood and come in two parts - a top and a bottom. Although I don't think this is really made for outdoor use, I guess if you somehow secure the top part of the dowels permanently to the bottom part and then somehow attach something to the bottom of each dowel to secure it into the ground it "may" withstand some wind. Frankly, I don't think it would work. but that's just my opinion. Good luck!

It's solid as a rock. I can't say enough about it - it's perfectly engineered and wow it can hold some weight! We have ours attached to a post on the gazebo and it gets some wind, but never had any sort of issues at all and we've had for 3 years now.

have left it outside all summer in all conditions, tied around two brick posts and one line drilled into a wood board, and have never seen any problem with the wind. however, that is in an area that is protected from wind by a two story building and brick walls, so that may not be a good test. it seems to be quite sturdy material.

I used self tapping screws, burried 6" in the ground and used dirt to go around the outside ( im only 15 miles north of Ok, state line, so i dont know what it woulda done but it did survive 67 mph gust with 45 mph sustained winds, for the money it wasnt bad.

It is a heavy stand and should work OK for unspecified values of "normal" breezes. I would not presume to speculate about high-wind conditions.

Wind will be a problem, it is not sturdy. We love it but it is more decorative than anything. I find the bolts loosen with frequency and need to be tightened regularly. Nice piece though. Hope that helps.

Yes, but it is designed to be staked into the ground for stability in wind or other weather, so you may want to weight the legs with sandbags or something heavy.

it will stand up to light wind, we add a couple of extra tie downs to it if it gets breezy and it works great. we use the four tent stakes that come with it and then add two cords, one on each side if it gets to wobbly with wind. it stays up great!

In any wind condition that is above a few miles an hour you will need to anchor it. It is heavy and pretty sturdy but not heavy enough to withstand any moderate to severe wind. It comes with tie downs that are built in to the canopy that you could probably extend and anchor in the yard just off the patio. Or if you want this to be a more permanent structure you could use cement anchors thru the feet.

You should contact the manufacturer to get specs on what MPH winds it has been tested to withstand. From my perspective, as an engineer, I think it is very sturdy. The main hinge is made out of sturdy aluminum and the two side support struts are made out of about 1/8" thick aluminum with sheet metal screws holding them on.

It's a great screen but I think with a lot of wind you are going to need to buy some stakes and pound them in, it's pretty fluffy so I imagine the wind could reek havoc on it.

Yes, it is. Make sure you bungie cord the front and towards the middle where the grommet holes are. Will withstand high winds too.

It is well made for a pop-up canopy of this type. It can be anchored both at the feet (large spikes for this included), and by guy lines on the corners of the canopy. So it should hold up well in the wind, if you anchor it properly.
