I need a heavy duty canopy that may have to stand up to sporadic high winds on a playa for Burning Man. Wil this canopy hold up to winds that may exceed 60 mph.

I do not think so. The poles are not steady and mild wild will bring the canopy down. Mild winds and rain made this canopy fall apart. My personal opinion is that this item is not worth it, but if you want you can buy it and make your own judgement.

I have used it in breezy conditions (but not heavy winds) and it held up. However, the canopy is quite large and it catches the wind. It will be hard to manage in heavy winds. It is sturdier than most umbrellas sold today.

Once you put the canopy on the frame and loop the straps over the eyebolts at the bottom of the legs, it will hold together very well. Mine blew off my deck in a strong windstorm because I didn't have it secured down. It stayed completely together in spite of rolling several times. Much easier putting up with 2 people, but you can do it alone.

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.

I would not bother setting it up if the winds are high for it will pull it up from the ground. The strongest winds I personally tested mine in was about 15-20 mph. I wouldn't really recommend it though.

I do not have high winds in my area however it is a mesh type fabric and the air passes through readily. It does not move much here.

I set mine up on a concrete patio to see if I could fit my tent underneath it and it seemed to work o.k. like that. I don't know if it would withstand any wind to speak of, though.

More than likely it will blow off. We fastened with straps and so far it has made it threw 60 mph winds. Good luck

Number of stakes needed will depend entirely on wind. It's a large and tall tent, so it definitely catches air. I got caught in a strong wind storm a couple months back, and no amount of stakes would have kept it anchored. I ended up tying it to a tree, and the wind still almost flattened it.

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.

We live in Miami and have fairly windy days in the summer with heavy rain. We have installed our canopy using aircraft cable to trees at the perimeter of our yard, tightened up with turnbuckles and removable using lockable steel caribiners at the canopy corners. We just didn't want the look of giant poles, so our canopy looks more like a floating sail overhead. :-) Also, if you use a post you actually need to sink the poles deeper than 3 feet...the rule of thumb is 1/3 below ground, 2/3 above. So for a sail mounted 8' high, you would need a 12' pole with 4' buried. Steel pipe 3.5-4" is recommended, especially for bigger sails in a windy area.

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 dont think it will withstand wind without some kind of support Even if you put sand bags on the legs I would think you should still tie down to keep it stable at the top.....

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.

Hello, yes if it is really windy the canopy top could move a little bit. Please remember to keep the umbrella closed when not in use to prevent damage. Thank you.

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.

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.
