Is this house heavy enough so it doesn't blow over in high wind?

Yes it is heavy enough . Just put the hay in it and the cat will be fine . It is built very sturdy

Yes, it is rather heavy. It could use extra straw. My ferals do use it. I put it on a porch off my barn. Cozy.
388084
No, it is kind of light weight. It might come with spikes to anchor it down with, but I don't recall.

I have mine in a sheltered spot on my porch so can't answer to how it stands up to high wind but being round with feet on front and back and right on the ground I don't think it would blow over. Good little house but I would try to shelter it from the weather.

I have mine sitting on my covered porch. It also sits low to the ground. I would guess that if it is in a backyard where it's going to have snow/rain you should elevate it on something and possibly tie it down with a bungee cord/something on top. It has some heft to it, but mine is plastic with a wooden bottom. It's good, but if you need heavy duty, the Kitty tube is much stronger and heavier.

I dont think it will withstand wind without some kind of support Even if you put sand bags on the legs I would think you should still tie down to keep it stable at the top.....

It's quite heavy and stable. I can't imagine it would blow over in less than tornado or hurricane winds.

If the breeze is under 25 mph.... it should be okay. Hopefully it will be weighed down so as to not being lift by a strong gust

First season, so no fall clean out yet, but the whole front wall swings up so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm in Kansas, lots of wind, absolutely no issues. Solid house.

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.

Moderate wind. Mine has never fallen over and I leave it on a table on the deck during the worst of storms. But I would imagine if we had a strong tropical storm it would probably tip over.

This looks exactly like ours. We have not had a bit of trouble with the one we have. It is mounted on the north side of the house, so does not typically get a lot of wind or rain (since we are in Texas). However, we do get occasional intense downpours, and it does not seem to have affected the unit.

Ours is in the garage. I believe that if it has stuff in it (of course the heavier things toward the bottom) that it would stand up to a good bit of wind. I don't think I would stand it out in the middle of the yard but would put it against a wall or side of the house, garage, etc. Yes. It's very sturdy but high profile.

Yes, it was nice for the price but it can't withstand wind very well. Make sure you anchor it down.

I'd say it would need to be somehow secured into the ground. I would think a strong wind could definitely blow it over. We have ours screwed down onto a wooden deck.

I live in the deep South. We have wind gust sometimes exceeding 30mph. I put the swing in my yard on an existing frame. I do not weigh it downwith anything. It has enough weight that it stays secure. Hope this is of some help.it down

Yes but you will need to secure it if there is much of a wind otherwise it will tip over which is what mine did and break.

I have not had any problems even in high winds. I just raked out the dirt a little deeper, pushed it in the ground and covered it with the remaining dirt. The bottom has two prongs formed like an H and it is very secure. I planted flowers around the base and it is just beautiful!

I don't think so. They are fairly sturdy, but if there is major (gale force) wind, you might need to weigh them down with something. But just regular breezes won't be an issue.

I do not think this will stand up to high winds(not sure what high winds constitutes), it can take 40-50 mile winds with no issues as long as it is secured to the ground. Above that I think if anything major like hurricanes or strong storms are coming through you`d have to take of the roofing panels if you don`t want it to get damage. The gazebo is somewhat mediocre(the screws strip out very easily) but it is durable and a great price. There is no snow where I live(there never will be#southeasttexas) but I think it would be fine.

In my opinion no shelter of this sort will withstand heavy winds. It would need weights tied on to keep down or spikes in the feet of each pole. On a fairly calm day just bury a few inches in the sand and it would be fine.
