Will this shade hold up to mid-south stormy weather?

If its properly installed it will stand up to winds very well. We have had winds from light to all day 25mph winds and storms up to 75mph we have had it almost a year no problems.

I don't believe it is weather resistant. Depends on how protected your porch is from wind and rain.

The place where I am is very dry.... but from finish it appears it can take the outside porch mid East coast weather.. it is very sturdy and very well finished. .. I guess until you have this soaked in rain regularly, this will do fine. .. Good luck. .

a little bit - it will probably hold up in a sprinkle, but not a heavy rain.

We have used this at the beach. No rain but I think it would work pretty well. We really enjoyed it for the shade!!

Mine has been outdoors since I purchased. It has weathered hail and storms with high winds. No damage and is still in great shape.

I expect that it would weather well, however we have ours mounted in a porch covered area. Ours looks as good as the day we bought it.

The fixture will hold up fine with wind and ice/rain if installed securely. It is a strait forward simple design. The shade is not deep so the bulb would be exposed to a driving rain. I use an indoor outdoor decorative bulb. Fixture is all metal, baring a direct hit from a wind driven projectile I expect this fixture to last indefinitely..

Hello! Yes, the rain goes right through unless it rains very heavily. It can sag somewhat so we put up a pole in the center to raise it slightly. We like that look also. We used the Shade Sail Hardware Kit (Square) ordered from Amazon for $15.76 plus shipping. Nice heavy duty hardware. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Gary

I have used it in the rain and it was fine, but I wouldn't use it in a heavy storm or anything--it's very pretty but doesn't hold up to strong winds.

Yes. Been thru some really bad storms with high winds and some large hail, not a sign of any damage.

I imagine so. It's very sturdy, as well as attractive. I don't know about leaving it out in bad weather, although even that might be ok.

Well I'm not sure. This cover was fine up until winter and then it ripped apart in the wind. The material is very thin so I doubt it would hold up well in harsh sunshine.

I think this product will hold up well. We live in Texas and the heat is quite intense. That said, we normally don't use this cover to protect from the sun.

If you put it up using good quality fasteners and then remove the branches as they fall I would think it would be fine. I have had my shades up for a few years now and have had no problems

I don't think you have to worry about covering it for a few rain storms and a lot of sun, BUT...It will most likely look better and last longer either 1) covered or 2) under porch overhang

I used this sun shade last summer with excellent results. There are indeed grommets in each of the corners through which you can thread a rope to suspend it over your patio.
