We have sudden gusty winds, the ad says it's durable but is it sufficiently vented to allow for wind gusts?

I have one I ordered in May 2014 and it has held up to some very gusty winds although we try to close it when it's windy, we sometimes forget. The umbrella has cutouts at the top to allow the breeze to flow through without blowing over as long as it is stabilized at the bottom. Hope this helps!

We live on the beach and it can be quite windy. We haven't had any problems due to wind, but we do have the pole secured on a deck railing as well as on the deck itself.

Yes it is vented at top. But any outside umbrellas need to be closed if a wind storm comes up. I try to do this for all my umbrellas

Yes, it can handle strong wind. We loved ours in all weather. In fact, ours did well until the snows hit. We got a foot of snow and ours crumples like an accordion. It was about 10 months old. We were very sad to lose it.

The wind flow is pretty strong even on low. The fan grilles are made of plastic so it probably wouldn't take a beating but if you are careful with it it should work for that.

I suppose strong enough winds could rip any cover but short of hurricane force winds you should be fine with this one. It is not the el-cheapo, paper thin, poly type material, more like a light to mid-weight canvas with strong seams. Not only is the bottom hemmed with an adjustable cinch cord, there are also velcro straps to secure to all four corners for added insurance against wind. For the price, I've not seen any thing else of comparable quality. Very impressed!

In regards to windy conditions, please see my 2013 review by CWH on Amazon. I haven't used this item during any windy conditions. I do not feel comfortable that it would sustain heavy winds. As for securing the umbrella in the sand, I don't think the stakes that come with the umbrella will suffice.

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.

If you just lay it out, it's great. I poked some holes in it to attach to a VegTrug frame I had, and the wind did tear it a bit in those areas--my fault. But overall it lasted the season very well. I do recommend it. Hope this helps.

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.

It is a heavy stand and should work OK for unspecified values of "normal" breezes. I would not presume to speculate about high-wind conditions.

we can have heavy winds where I live. I have had no problems with wind opening my gate. It works great after about 8 months. The only thing I need to do is make sure everything is tightened down (nuts and bolts) on a regular basis as it shares in the instructions.

I think the tent is well made , BUT I it would not hold in 50 + MPH wind That is a very high wind you are talking about. You will need a tent made for high wind and harsh weather I hope this helped

Yes - we used the tent in 20 + MPH wind at the beach last year during our week's vacation. Tent held up well and we will be using it again this year. To make this work till the sandbags and maybe add a cooler or two against the wind

I believe that's a vent. I haven't used mine in a few months, but whatever it is, it's covered and weather-proof. We love this tent!

We haven't. We get some good gusts, but nothing sustained. I think it's heavy enough that would be a feat. Unless you're in a very high windy area.

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.

Yes..so far I haven't had any issues with it in heavy winds and rain.Thanks

I would say no. although this is a sturdy shed I would only suggest moderate wind,unless you attach to the cement or ground somehow, I would even maybe say not even that I could see the top blowing off in major wind.
