We live in a very windy area. I was wondering how heavy this set is?

The set is heavy, we live on the ICW and it made it through Hurricane Arthur without a problem on our porch (house on pilings). The set was a good value for the money. The only negative is the seats seems shorter in length for the seat to the back of ones thighs making them not as comfortable other sets we have had, though those cost twice the price. I am looking to purchase thin seat cushions to make them more comfortable. Overall a decent dining set. Hope this helps

The set is a good weight. It has made through several storms without any problems. Yet, the chairs are still light enough to easily maneuver.

We have only had our table for several weeks, but it is fairly heavy and has had no problem with wind gusts close to 50 mph.

I wouldn't use it if it's too windy or more than a slight breeze. Those reflectors will catch the wind. I don't know how much they can withstand, but intend to be cautious with my stuff. I do place it on the floor of my deck and not up on a table. I don't want to risk it falling. BIf limit use to gentle breeze or less. Stuff breeze and above, I wouldn't want to risk it.

We haven't had much wind since we put it up. But, the frame is very sturdy. When we put it in it's permanent location, I plan to place it in a heavy ABS sleeve embedded in a one sack, reedy mix cement. Then slip all four legs into the ABS sleeves. If you can't do that, I'd probably do the same method but put the concrete in 5 gallon buckets. This thing is big, it's sturdy but it could easily become a big sail. m Hope this helps.

Our chairs are on an open patio. It has been very windy on several occasions and the chairs have never blown over. We had 40 mph wind gusts last week and still no movement.

I know what you mean, we used to live in North Carolina and the winds got bad out there. It is not heavy but not light either when I hold it in my hand. I stood up on a scale with it and it weights 5 1/2lbs. Id say it will stay put during regular winds. During bad winds like 40 mph, even our big swing was flying. I really like this crocodile and so do my boys - 4y and 19 m. When only one of them wants to use it, he sits in the middle, both of them on opposite sides, and when a friend comes over, all 3 of them have a seat. I would recommend it because it is not that big or heavy to put it away during high winds, it is very easily wiped clean, nowhere for spiders to make webs, and the handles are smooth, unlike other seesaws on which I red reviews for. The kids have it inside or outside as they please. If you want to, I would set it out front next time its quite windy, which is often on our hill by the ocean here in Hawaii, and Id let you know what it did.

I would worry about the light weight of this fan. It would tend to blow over if you had any wind at all. I would go for a heavier weight more stable fan,

We haven't. We get some good gusts, but nothing sustained. I think it's heavy enough that would be a feat. Unless you're in a very high windy area.

it is a pretty heavy stand and sturdy, we do get occaisional wind gusts during thunderstorms and even when up we don't have a problem but the patio is partially blocked from the wind from the house.........

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.

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.

All I can say is they are very heavy. The set was just put together last Saturday, and it looks beautiful and sturdy.

Yes, it is very strong . We used it when it was windy and it was ok and as we can change the position it is very convenient to be able to be protected against the wind

We are on the Texas coast and its almost always windy here. Our shade sail is working just fine for us. We use it at our daycare playground and I'm very satisfied.

It's heavy. I leave it on a deck and it doesn't move around. Light enough to move to the car but if wind is strong enough to move it you'd have other things to worry about.
