How heavy is the trash can? I want something heavy so that the wind will not blow it away after it is emptied and before I get home.

It's a lot heavier than the regular trash cans. Not as heavy as the garbage companies issued garbage cans though. We are very pleased with the purchase.

The grill weighs about 120 pounds. It would take a strong wind to blow it over. I have never had a weber grill blow over and we do have some strong wind gusts durring summer storms and winter blizzards.

It is made of steel so it's kind of heavy, more than 5 lbs. I kept it out all winter and even with the blizzard winds it didn't fall over.

The unit is very heavy metal & won't move until you get to the last few feet. Be careful about getting Heavy duty hose. There is just enough room to wind without hitting on the ground . Good quality unit.. Bill

Probably fifty or sixty pounds. Unless you have a really bad windstorm, you shouldn't have to worry.

Maybe a typical thin blue tarp to keep the wind out. There's not a lot of support, it folds up on itself in one piece. You might be able to put this in some sort of container if you want to try that. I didn't have to worry about the wind because we have it in the garage.

Sorry I returned this immediately because it was super flimsy! The wind could easily blow this! You would probably hear it flapping around due to cheap aluminum.

I have mine in for the winter so I just weighed it, it is 3.11 lbs. We get some pretty gusty winds here in the northwest and it doesn't budge, the weight of the water helps keep it in place. Mine sits on a large glazed pot and a raccoon was able to shift it off center a little (didn't tip it though) so I used some museum putty and nothing has moved it since.

Yes it's pretty easy to empty out and it's plastic, so not very heavy. You can try to use thin trash bag liner to keep it cleaner, i didn't and so there was a lot of paper dust and particles stuck all over the place. I'm sure it's easy enough to rinse off if it bothered me enough, but it's been fine as is. Hope this helps. =)

Mine is sheltered against a wall in my garden. However, it would take a high wind to blow it over once it has a few gallons of water in it, I believe. That said, it is quite lite when empty.

Easy for 2 or more people cause it is pretty big. It does NOT do well in wind, since it is a fan/blower system, it is pretty low pressure and will flex pretty badly, but on a still night or with a light breeze, it's great!!

I live in So Cal on a lake where the Santa Ana winds can kick up to 60 mph+. I have three of these units around my pool and backyard. Never have they blown over. They have a rather wide stance and while not HEAVY do weigh a reasonable amount. Would not consider the wind a concern. Only concern is that the inside is not smooth so if you over stuff the garbage bag in the unit is difficult to get out.

I use the base from my previous umbrella, it is all iron and to me heavy. I have had no problems with it even during high winds. Coolaroo allow most of the wind to pass through.

Not heavy at all, unless you fill it full of heavy tools. I lift mine all the time. I totally love this thing as I can put 2-3 flats of annuals in it and pull it around the yard and don't have to make several trips to the garage to get them when I need them. This is the second one I have had as after about 10 years I broke the top. It still rolled around fine, but I could not pull it anymore with the handle.

I would say that depends on how much wind it's subject to but I have it in a small plastic base (under table) that I put sand in to weight it down. Even table free, I would say a light weight one would be fine. Def 50 lbs or less.

I bought a bade from Home Depot to hold it. It's basically weight. You can always use sand bags

I don't know the weight but it is heavy and well built. I doubt that it would blow over in a high wind.
