How does this handle wind?

I have 2 of these blinds, when the wind gets up over 20 mph it will shake around. it will blow away if you don;t keep some weight in it.They work very well.

It has several tie down cords for the corners and grounding stakes. I have had mine in 20-30 mph wind gust with no real problems.

Pretty good depending on what type of wind, when its staked down it holds really well. There is also sand bags on each corner to add more weight if needed.

We have strong winds here in Ct also and it has never blown over. We filled the base with sand and it makes it quite heavy. I need my husband to help me move it. This This is the best birdfeeder I've ever had. Would recommend it to anyone.

If there is ABSOLUTELY no wind AT ALL, then it works ok outside. Or, as well as it does inside, anyway, which isn't all that well....This thing is challenging to control under ideal conditions, add a breeze to the equation and you should plan to spend more time hunting for it in the trees than actually flying.

We get a lot of wind and lots of strong wind gusts . We never put anything on the cover, and it has never blown off.

I have used it in heavy wind, it did great. I was using it in Tennessee, we had rain for 12 hours straight, it did not leak unless you touched it which is what happens in any tent, where you touch it will leak. It does great

I have been in 2 thunderstorms with some winds and it has held up. I used the 4 corner stakes, 4 rope tie stakes provided which are attached, and I use an extra top tarp over the back of my truck where I sleep anchored with bungee cords to my roof rack and then anchored to front of Coleman Screen room with bungees for extra water protection. Without proper securing I'm sure it would fly in the wind as it is very light weight. I love this product but for camping long term and to endure all weather conditions which may arise I do secure it very well.

It gets fairly windy at my house and I've never had an issue. I keep the weber cover on it also if that helps.

We have had a few good wind storms maybe 40+ mph and it has held up well no issues except the cover comes with little boots that you tie onto the gutter spouts before the cover goes on and one of them came off and caused a small hole. Most likely my fault. Just need to find a better way to tie on the boots. No complaints though.

If wind gusts are a problem I would set the turbine inside of a screen box so as to limit mother natures ability to whip the turbine. I believe it will handle up to 60 MPH winds if mounted properly.

If you're expecting a good wind, yes. Best to tie it down. Overall a good product and we're very happy with ours.

Yes, it does wind up and down. The action of doing so is a little loud, but it works well.

I don't know about strong winds, but I've been in 20 MPH winds and there was no problems with the top down. When I opened the top, there was no issue.

If you're in a large enough area, it'll handle a little wind. It's light enough that it can get tossed if the wind picks up. We live where it's pretty windy for a good part of the year, so it ended up not being a really practical gift for my husband. The helicopter's a little big to be used inside, but a little small for medium to high winds. I got it because I was assured that it was a great helicopter for beginners to learn how to fly, and it is... if you have good weather. It flies like a dream on calm days.

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,

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 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.
