How does this screened shelter hold up in the wind? I need to buy a new one as the one I have collapsed in the winds at door county.

When it encountered its first wind, a pole broke making the shelter unuseable. It would be a possible easy fix with a replacement pole, but Coleman does not have replacement poles for this Coleman model. For the price and poor poles, its not worth the money. Not recommended!!

I have been in 2 thunderstorms with some winds and it has held up. I used the 4 corner stakes, 4 rope tie stakes provided which are attached, and I use an extra top tarp over the back of my truck where I sleep anchored with bungee cords to my roof rack and then anchored to front of Coleman Screen room with bungees for extra water protection. Without proper securing I'm sure it would fly in the wind as it is very light weight. I love this product but for camping long term and to endure all weather conditions which may arise I do secure it very well.

I've had it up all weekend in high winds. Staked it down and it didn't budge. Everyone else's EZ-ups were airborne.

I set it up in the Utica, IL area...a State Park on the Illinois River. Winds blew in with rain storm...heavy, quick. The screen house was on a 30 degree angle with the windstorm. It was staked down. Ten minutes later, storm passed, screen house was standing, no damage done. I'm very pleased. Hope this helps.

Ours has been outside since November and is doing well. It is sitting on a shelf of an outdoor bar table and has some cover, but still gets wet if windy and it gets windy a lot...plus a lot of humidity here on the coast. An overhang would provide similar protection.

I had lived in places with high wind in the past, so I would say any covers can get ripped depending to how strong the winds are. With that said I think this one has better chance of staying put, due to its material of construction and elastics at the bottom, also it has a vent which could move the air through it. It is better than any other ones I had in the past and I paid almost twice as much for those.

The Coleman sports quite a lot of nylon stretched over a fairly light weight frame. A thunder storm last year with high wind gusts was enough to bend and break some of the steel supports, including one of the poles. I don't know for sure, but I expect any similarly designed shelter would fare the same. I would recommend staking the corner poles and adding the staked support lines off each corner of any of these devices.

With those winds, at the very least the frame will distort and deform. Mine is staked down and located in an area sheltered by trees and a deer fence, and when I leave the door up, any significant wind pushes the frame out of shape. It does better when the door is down, but I wouldn't think of using one in 65 mph winds. I'm beginning to believe the disclaimer printed in the instructions that these are for temporary use, meaning a couple of years at best.

I don't know about heat, but it will stand up to wind. We live at Catawba Island and it's super windy here and the last few weeks has been EXTREMELY windy....the cover is fine.

Not that I see, and I've had mine in some pretty high wind when some bad storms pushed through one day and it was not coming off in any way. It fits the grill pretty snug as is. I think if a draft of wind strong enough to lift it was to get under the cover, it'd probably take the whole grill out and you'd probably need to be taking cover in a storm that bad. :)

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 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

Mine is hanging and has been for 4+ years. In wind, in rain ... all that fell off was the "welcome" sign over the door.

We found our fence to block the wind effectively, even strong winds, it held up pretty well. I actually have no unfavorable comments, it's done well for the price. We looked at a company doing our privacy fence and got price of 250.00, with the same fence, paid a neighbor to put up for 25 bucks!

I have it placed in my yard so it does not get direct wind. We have had wind gust up to plus 30 mph and have had no problems. I made 4 stake out of 3/8 x 2ft rebar and placed them on the corners with no tie downs. If you are going to place it in direct wind I would plan on getting bigger stakes and tie down line. The frame looks like it will hold up to high wind. Hope this answer your question.

I left two outside all winter. We had severe winds often. They are attached to my wood patio awning and a tree. No damage to the wood structure (built like a deck) however one of the shades tore at the corner. The other weathered everything and is still hanging.

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.

Mine did not hold up well at all. First time I set it up and used it under what I would consider moderate winds (12-15mph with gusts to 20 mph) and I had a pole snap and tear open the tent material. All lines and pegs were used. I bought it last fall for family Christmas, used it in June (can't return) and not sure what to do with a torn tent with a broken pole. I am pretty disappointed with this Coleman tent.

It has lasted through several storms here in Iowa without any issue. It's ok open in the wind/rain but I have kept it closed when I'm not using it.

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!
