Does it need any special attention after every time it rains? How does it hold to the wind? Thanks!

This tray feeder has a screen bottom. The rain falls right through. Some debris remains if you put meal worms or fruit on the tray. I wash it off with the hose several times a month. It does swing in the wind but my feeder has never fallen off of the wrought iron crook where I have it. And it does get windy here in the mountains!

I've had it outside since I installed it with no issues. It's been through several heavy rainstorms and still works like a charm.

It holds up fine in the rain. We had a graduation party w 100 ppl. An unexpected windy rainstorm w torrential dangerous rain came and we put the food and people under it and the party continued. No problems. Just make sure you follow the tie-down directions with regards to anchoring it into the ground. It comes with everything you need.

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!

We have left this outside many times and it stands up to the rain and sprinkler system just fine. If it starts to get windy we just unhook it from the sides and bottom and closed it like a curtain. During the winter we did take it down and stored it.

Yes this tent is absolutely great in bad weather. There are 6 places where you can stake the tent into the ground and maybe 6 more places where you can tether the shell. So yes it will withstand the wind very well as well as the rain.

Definitely has a rain fly. This thing weathered a severe thunderstorm with 50+ mph winds during RAGBRAI 2012. Had a little leakage at the seams... but we stayed dry for most of it. I'll use it again.

Here in NJ, we had a storm with gusty winds, which it held up good, however if the storm got worse with stronger gusty winds, I would put the umbrella in until the storm paste, so if you plan to keep it up all the time, it is a strong umbrella, but nothing is made to with stand severe windy storms. So your choice to keep the umbrella up during a strong gusty winds storm, I would put it down and put away until the storm passed, so far I have no negative comments it is a strong, sturdy out door umbrella.

It works perfect when it raining out. Just make sure you have it blowing out and not in. I've had this a year now and I love it.

It's quite thin material so it will protect from a drizzle, if it's not too long. So, I wouldn't count on too long. Additionally, ours doesn't maintain position in a breeze, so the rectangle shape turns.

Yes, it holds up to the rain. You have to make sure the tire has good coverage of the product.

It is sturdier than other umbrellas but don't expect it to withstand super heavy winds. It is like any other good quality umbrella.

We had it in our backyard for over a month and it rained and was windy. So just mke sure you have all your stakes down and everything tied down and it should all be good!

We always close it up after use, so it has never been through any winds. No thicker than the fabric is, though, I doubt that it would do well.

I have left it up during light showers, which it handles pretty well. I have lost too many of these things to the weather, so I always take it down when thunderstorms are in the forecast. In my opinion, the build quality is what one should expect for the price; not flimsy, yet not designed for extended exposure to the elements.

From what I have experienced using it in mild to moderate gusts of winds it does stand strong but again this is a big umbrella which means more surface area and more drag in the wind.
