We have a lot of wind here. Is this good in 20+mph winds?

You can stake it down but still not great in wind. I take mine to baseball games for my kids and take it down when the wind kicked up so it does not get destroyed. We are windy here too. Colorado Springs and Denver area. It does work better than the sports brella in the wind. My Sports Brella got destroyed in a sudden gust of wind before I could take it down. I was staked so it just ripped it backwards. The Lightspeed canapy aleast gives me a chance to react.

If you had all the sandbags full and maybe use the stakes as well it would be ok... We used this on Myrtle Beach with just the sandbags and sand around the bottom floor without any problems. We didn't use the stakes on the beach - it has a bottom that holds your stuff also that helps to hold it down..

It does have sandbags and anchors which would probably hold it. I don't know for sure

If you tie it down very well - more than the 4 with the kit. The set up is quick but since there is no window in the back for cross ventilation (beyond the bottom part), there is a lot of wind drag.

Yes - we used the tent in 20 + MPH wind at the beach last year during our week's vacation. Tent held up well and we will be using it again this year. To make this work till the sandbags and maybe add a cooler or two against the wind

As long as you use the anchors in good ground you should be, we spent four days at the gusty beach with no problems; good anchoring is key.

Yes, if you use the stakes that come with it. I live in the high desert and have no problem as long as I secure it.

I don't know actual wind speeds but if your anchor points are solid it can handle a good wind. Has provides good shelter in windy rain storms for us

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.

No wind problems. We use ours on wood floors. We angle the outer panels to provide additional stability.

As far as winds, it can handle up to 15 mph as long as it is attached to a fixed object like a fence. One thing I notice is that the sun really beats it up and there are holes all over the top of it after just two years of exposure.

Ours lasted through one season of arts and crafts festivals. As to the wind, I don't know, we have not been in any high winds as of now.

I haven't used it in heavy winds, but it feels pretty darned sturdy to me! This is a great umbrella.

Have only had winds around 25-30 mph and a fence protecting one side... but so far so good. I have had it set up for over a year and no problems.

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.

For me great. I live in south Florida . Now the wind noise is another story ... It's pretty loud at 75+ mph

I was concerned about that myself when we purchased the shelter. We live on top of a mountain in the country and have had wind gust up to 50-60 mph this winter. We have had absolutely no problems with it. I did put it by a row of trees to help protect it and staked it down with additional re-bar and clamps. the canopy and structure have held up well.

No way. It's more for fall and mild winter days. Perhaps 20 above with slight breeze.

I would have to agree with Rock Ridge answer, I live in Oklahoma and no problems with the wind. My first season to have it up as well.

Hello, I agree with the first reply, you will have to get anchors or something with weight to hold it in place, we use ours when camping with our RV. We have it secured to our RV and to the grounds in many places along its base, and have yet to run into problems when the winds go above 20 mph. Just figure a way to give the base of it some weight and you will have no issues. I is a great tent and we love ours. I'd recommend some anchors cemented around it and you will gain the peace of mind it is secure in place. Over kill will never come back to bite you. We,ather and the winds as front line ahead of the storms are more fierce than many years ago, the negative is the cement, its not like dirt or grass. Your issue is holding it in place to wind. Act of GOD "Mother Nature" something you can't control Think over-kill and you will have no problems.

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.

No. It is really a good quality. We have some really strong winds in the high desert and it holds up really well.
