How stable is the screen when it's setup outside? Will wind make it sway or fall down easily or is it sturdy enough to withstand some light wind?

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!

Sorry, I will not recommend for outdoor at all. minor wind will get it easily fall away. it is sooooo light weight. I actually return it, lots of wrinkle like bed sheet.

No it is not that stable when in the open. If in the open you may have to do few things to keep it stable. 1. have a sturdy base for the base is just a simple mesh that connects to the top2. if you have a rod that is long enough to run through from the back of the screen left to right, then secure it to your base this will ensure that your screen does not move.

Hi Scott,...In all the years that I have had this stand,it has never become loose,or cause a tilt.I have really big winds here,too,..thought you would like to know that.Happy looking,and good luck finding just the right stand for you.

I had mine set up next to a covered patio for two years. It handled the wind just fine; it was the constant exposure to the sun that finally did it in. The fabric became brittle but the frame was still in good shape. During high winds, such as thunderstorms, the tent would flex quite a bit but it never pulled out of the ground stakes. However, if you must take it down for winds in excess of 40 mph, that is easy to do. Just pull the support poles out of the ring with the stem at the ground level and the tent will lay flat. To re-erect it, (with the help of a friend) re-insert the ring stem, re-position the poles and it will be up in less than 10 minutes (unless the friend proves to be of little help). Make sure you have the flaps secured before you lay it flat. R-von

Down should be fine. Mine would never stay tilted up, the weight of the screen pulled it down. Then it broke b

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.

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.

It did fine in the wind. We had one day with strong winds that would make the tent bend a bit but it never pulled loose from the stakes in the ground. We didn't even used the sandbags.

You should be fine with your outside options. We mounted our screen onto a wood frame (like a picture frame) and then hung it from the ceiling. Hope this helps!

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.

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 live in the NW- By Seattle,WA. We get high winds mostly spring and fall-winter. So far, My screen fence has withstood the current high winds- Mine is Doubled up for extra privacy- facing West- to East secured on my side of the chain link. Mine billows like a sail and so far handles wind just fine- Single layer Vs wind ? should work fine. Some sunlight will show thru. kinda sparkles in late afternoon sun. Hope this helps- I've only had mine a month + D.Durham

I've had this product for about 6 months now. I use it as a back drop for my living room. If you plan on placing this product in a place where it won't get bumped around then you should have no problems with it falling down. It is a little light weight so if you place it by a window the wind will knock it down. Otherwise you should have no problems with it.

we have this gazebo but we put cinderblock or paver stones to hold down the legs - this allows it a little play in case of winds - unfortunately these gazebos can get winder underneath and get damage - it does help to keep the screen open to let air flow thru - but I usu keep ours zipped -

Only if the wind is not blowing. Other than that the screen room is very sturdy

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.

Stands by itself with no problem. I recently took the screen out of my studio and used at my outdoor wedding reception. I've had no problems with it. Let me know if I can answer anything else.
