has anyone had problems with sturdiness on windy days?

No problem at all. I had my first Brabantia on my second story deck, and it was very windy. The Brabantia held up very well for years. When we moved I gave my Brabantia to my son and I bought a new one for myself.

I have mine in WINDY Mexico and it has been very sturdy and perfect. I love it!!

I have had mine for over 2 years now and it still works wonderfully. Few cobwebs but thats about it. Very solid construction.

It's solid as a rock. I can't say enough about it - it's perfectly engineered and wow it can hold some weight! We have ours attached to a post on the gazebo and it gets some wind, but never had any sort of issues at all and we've had for 3 years now.

We have 2, one at home and one at the cottage. We talked our friends into a set for their home and cottage and neither of us has a complaint about them. We find they are as sturdy as the anchor

I move them a lot, and have not had any problems either. Sandbags can work to stabilize them in windy conditions if needed.

Hard to say, we were new to this and couldn't seem to keep it in the air for more than a minute (we kept crashing it). It was very difficult to maintain in the air on windy days.

A little. but we had to close it when it was really windy. It came shaking.

On windy days I roll mine up. I don' think the metal holding the top are strong enough to hold up to higher winds. I fastened the frame to my deck rails with tie downs and that solved the problem with the wind. This winter I have kept it rolled up. Later on when the weather gets better, I will unroll it and fasten it to my deck. It makes nice shade in the summer.

It requires stacks hammered in the ground all the way around the bottom plus 4 outter stacks on the corner. With the stacks in place, ours has been ok on some pretty windy days in Oklahoma.

Hi we live in Portland Tx, Spring and Summer can be very windy here, 3 corners are anchored to the house and one on Post cemented and then anchor to a tree otherwise the post will bend, hardware used ( steel cable, turnbuckles, anchor mounts) bought at lowes... Haven"t had any issues so far, great shade cover.

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.

I fly mine outside all the time with no trouble. A breeze just makes it more fun to fly, though I've never flown it in strong winds. By all means take it outdoors.

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

I used it three times last summer, and on one camping trip the winds were going about 20 mph. I had it staked tight to the ground, and had no problems. It moved a little in the wind but had no issues of anything ripping.

I brought it to Destin, FL recently and it help up great - and it was a very windy day. The base is pretty wide and can be kind of anchored in the sand; I don't know how it would do on an uneven hard surface, but we've never had a problem with it falling over.

Hi,Not really. We had some strong winds in Elk Grove, CA. a couple of weeks ago and it was all over the backyard.My husband recently purchased some hooks to attach to the fence next time we get a gust of strong winds.For the price it is a good deal. Hope that helps.Amy

My has on several occasions. I have it stretched pretty tight, and learned a special knot (a taut-line hitch) that really does the trick -- it allows you to adjust the tension, but will not pull loose, even under high winds and rain.I have noticed the sail sags some when it's really wet - I've learned NOT to tighten it then, it'll straighten back up when it dries out.

Quite well. In fact I've had mine outside for the last couple years now - through "polar vortex" and mid summer heat and it's held up extremely well. Quite sturdy.

I've used it at Pismo Beach and it holds up well. That being said there have been times it was soo windy I didn't put it up, same as I didn't use my awning either. The wind was blowing so hard that it felt like the awning would rip off. So if it feels to windy for the awning you might want to error on the side of cation and not put up the room. Hope that made sense :)
