You stated that on grass, this was good only for light breezes. What is the max MPH winds will it stand? How many ropes are included for sand bags?

10 and ropes will not help becouse the pipes will pull apart. The only thing I found to hold it down is ratchet straps across the top.

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.....

We haven't had much wind since we put it up. But, the frame is very sturdy. When we put it in it's permanent location, I plan to place it in a heavy ABS sleeve embedded in a one sack, reedy mix cement. Then slip all four legs into the ABS sleeves. If you can't do that, I'd probably do the same method but put the concrete in 5 gallon buckets. This thing is big, it's sturdy but it could easily become a big sail. m Hope this helps.

It has several tie down cords for the corners and grounding stakes. I have had mine in 20-30 mph wind gust with no real problems.

Very light weight. It does stand up in the wind if you use the supplied pegs or throw your beach baggage, water bottles, or any weight inside it.

It has stakes for use on grass, but it also has pockets on the side that you can add sand into while on the beach. I had no trouble with it in the wind on the beach in Destin.

In any wind condition that is above a few miles an hour you will need to anchor it. It is heavy and pretty sturdy but not heavy enough to withstand any moderate to severe wind. It comes with tie downs that are built in to the canopy that you could probably extend and anchor in the yard just off the patio. Or if you want this to be a more permanent structure you could use cement anchors thru the feet.

It will do OK in wind. My previous one was anchored to the ground by burying the feet and held up OK in 70 MPH gusts. heavy snow can be a problem as they get older and the tarp starts to sag a little. I tend to go out with a broom and bump off the snow from the underside if we get more than an inch or so.

We did purchase some longer stakes and a mallet, which was helpful for one high wind day. If you look close at the photo, you'll see 4 built-in 'sand bag' pockets (2 in the back and 1 on each side). We were rather amused at ourselves for not initially realizing their purpose. Filling those with sand was very beneficial in managing the shelter under windy conditions, provided you have reasonable expectations of what constitutes "windy" (LOL!).

We haven't had winds that strong since I installed it but I think it will hold up if installed properly. The anchors seem very well made to me. Hope that helps.

Wind is going to be factor of how well you stake out the tent. If you are going to be in a lot of rain, you'll want to use the little ropes included to pull the fly away from the tent so water drains off. I recommend getting some MSR stakes as those are much hardier compared to the cheap ones included with the tent.

it's ok in light winds, but your need a wind break for higher wind condition.

We use sandbags tied to the middle that hang down and it works perfectly. We love Ina very windy place and they haven't tipped over yet.

In a moderate wind, it'll become a sail. If you sandbag the legs, it might be ok for a light breeze. If it's breezy, it's best to have an assistant hold the reflector rather than put it on a stand.

We have fairly strong winds too, but the mesh was thinner than I expected and ended up doubling up the mesh. This worked for me and as long as you tie it up well it should hold up. It's not very porous so it should hold the dust back, but again, you'll likely have to double it up. I hope this helps.

I am not sure if you are just putting this up for an event or keeping it up for an extended period of time. If it is just for an event, then I would use sand bags tied to the bottom of each of the poles. I live in Vancouver, Wa near the Gorge and we get High winds about 4 to 5 times during the year, and my canopy is set up year round and acts as another room off my patio, and we have the canopy bolted to the house in several places on one side of the canopy and several steal stakes in the ground on the other side where we taped the poles to the stakes. It has servived 2 springs one summer, and a winter. I am very happy with this one, and over the years we have tried several other canopies. Hope the sand bag idea is helpful, dress them up if this is for an important event. 20 lbs per pole is my suggestion. GOOD-LUCK !!!!

Yes the anchors with sandbags has worked perfectly for me. I live on an island and it tends to be pretty windy all the time but once I anchor with sandbags I have no problem!
