I am tempted to buy this. Will the wind knock it over? My back yard gets really windy. Is it waterproof?

I'd say it would need to be somehow secured into the ground. I would think a strong wind could definitely blow it over. We have ours screwed down onto a wooden deck.

There are screw holes on the feet so if you need to screw it down so it doesn't blow away then you can. Mine isn't secured down and it hasn't blown away. It pretty waterproof and heat resistant. I've used it during the rain and it wasn't a problem. Although, if the wind is blowing the rain from the side, then you will get wet, so we put up a curtain.

I only read reviews so didn't think about a warranty, so can't answer that part. About the winds: I live in SoCal, in a windy part (not USUALLY strong winds but sometimes it's more than just breezy.) My problem was, the opened umbrella blew AWAY b/c, even though I had it in a table AND in stand, I didn't have it anchored down, so the wind caught it and blew it into the next county...I guess, b/c I never found it! I ordered another one, and now keep it anchored down but I also keep it closed unless I'm using it. So, I know I'm still not answering your question as to how it will hold up in wind but I would recommend having it closed during that time (actually for ANY outside umbrella). This is NOT an expensive umbrella, so I would assume it would hold up to "some" wind, but not "strong" winds. No umbrella really can.

I live in Florida near the beach and have a lot of wind. I have not screwed the unit down yet but it does make a little noise and move around a little on really windy days. I would say to just try it for a while it may depend on location. the top does a good job letting the wind through.

It will hold up just fine if you secure it properly, if the wind whips up underneath and/or is moves it will not hold up - but neither will any other cover at this price point.

We had it in our backyard for over a month and it rained and was windy. So just mke sure you have all your stakes down and everything tied down and it should all be good!

I see another person answered that the breeze goes through it because it is mesh. It is mesh, but very tightly woven mesh. It does break wind gusts. It does not block air flow 100%, but definitely would break gusts. If you want 100% air block, tarp would be probably work better, But I think I know what you are doing, and this would work fine for a garden. Tarp would work, too. Which is cheaper?

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.

No it will hold up very well. I live in a area that gets a lot of wind and it has never fell over. I leave it up out side for week. Great fence

I live in the deep South. We have wind gust sometimes exceeding 30mph. I put the swing in my yard on an existing frame. I do not weigh it downwith anything. It has enough weight that it stays secure. Hope this is of some help.it down

If the breeze is under 25 mph.... it should be okay. Hopefully it will be weighed down so as to not being lift by a strong gust

It depends. It will withstand up to 30 mph winds. Anything higher and it will blow away. I found that out when I put it up in my backyard. We had sustained wind of 30-35mph and gusts of up to 55 mph. I not only buried those tent spikes but put a couple of bricks to hold the tent down. Didn't help. Other than that, with a little wind, it seems to hold up. Just have to anchor it with some bricks or rocks on the inside. Hope that helps.

We have strong winds here in Ct also and it has never blown over. We filled the base with sand and it makes it quite heavy. I need my husband to help me move it. This This is the best birdfeeder I've ever had. Would recommend it to anyone.

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.

I would say it's heavy enough to not blow over. I use it down at the beach, which can be windy, and it works fine on my porch. It's also very stable. I'm not great at figuring weights, but I would think it weighs more than 10 lbs.

It is not water proof. Ours is under a gazebo roof that overhangs and no rain gets to it. But if the wind blows sideways, it will get wet. Hope this helps.

It will blow away. We've already lost ours to a strong wind because it wasn't staked at the time. However, there are nylon loops you could use to tie it to something. Hope this is helpful.

Pretty good depending on what type of wind, when its staked down it holds really well. There is also sand bags on each corner to add more weight if needed.
