We camp both in November and April/May on the shore of Lake Michigan. How does this hold up against heavy rain and wind (25mph+)?

Very well. Use the guy lines and you are good to go. Our tent has been up and down the washington coast in a week of rain without one leak.

Can't help you with the rain issue but I've had this tent in 40 mph sustained and 55 gusts. I Double staked and kept all guys tight. Held up like a champ. I really believe it would keep you dry as well

We have used it for extended periods of time and it has held up well. I would take it down in the winter months , or if your expecting high winds.

I live in Colorado and have had both snow and heavy rain and had no issues. I did built a shelving system inside though just to be safe in the event that water somehow came in the bottom (hasn't happened as of now). I can't speak to wind as I placed the shed right next to the house and it's fairly protected. I will say though that after you get it built and have it loaded with garden stuff it becomes pretty sturdy. Hope that helps.

Yes this tent is absolutely great in bad weather. There are 6 places where you can stake the tent into the ground and maybe 6 more places where you can tether the shell. So yes it will withstand the wind very well as well as the rain.

It holds up fine in the rain. We had a graduation party w 100 ppl. An unexpected windy rainstorm w torrential dangerous rain came and we put the food and people under it and the party continued. No problems. Just make sure you follow the tie-down directions with regards to anchoring it into the ground. It comes with everything you need.

It will be fine. I use mine without tying it down all the time. If the wind picks up I put my heavy back pack in it. I've put it on the beach, in the woods on pine needles. I've tossed it up on my driveway several times to show people how easy it is. I love it, if the wind does pick-up to about 15-20 knots, even with the heavy back pack in it, it will twist and maybe scoot a little.

I was camping last month. Lows down into the low 30s. Had the vents and fly shut down tight and was very warm. I haven't been in the tent during a wind storm yet but have had 3/4 inch of rain in an hour and not a drop got in. I love this tent.

I have had mine for a couple of years now and I live in South Florida. It has held up much better than I expected in the sun, rain & wind. I would not hesitate to purchase one again when mine finally dies.

Yes, it holds up to the rain. You have to make sure the tire has good coverage of the product.

I've personally had it down to -17F in Michigan and was toasty warm. I was in a tent with no wind blowing directly on me and the bag isn't like a weather proof shell or anything. Inside a tent though with a good cot or ground pad and you'll sleep like a baby.

I don't know how it would hold up in heavy rain, but it's great shelter for mild/moderate rain. I live in Oregon, and mostly use it for a sun shade, but have also spent time out while raining.

I was concerned about that myself when we purchased the shelter. We live on top of a mountain in the country and have had wind gust up to 50-60 mph this winter. We have had absolutely no problems with it. I did put it by a row of trees to help protect it and staked it down with additional re-bar and clamps. the canopy and structure have held up well.

We live in New Mexico with similar climates it sounds like. It holds up well. However we plan ahead with cases of strong wind and lay it down on it's side in the mornings before we leave for work or at night before bed. My sister has one as well for her kids, and they have it filled with a sand and water mixture, and the don't lay it down like we do. Hers has not fallen. Hope that helps.

Used ours for an extended trip recently. It held up fine to all weather including rain and hail.

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
