is it sturdy enough to withstand mild wind?

I use it more as a decorative feature but it seems to be fine in a mild wind.

I would say if the wind was very mild it should be fine. I'm using mine in my classroom so I really don't know how it would do in the elements.

Yep! We take it down when it rains and when the winds are bad - but it's fine for mild winds.

It is pretty sturdy all right, but uncertain about snow load. You would need to ask the company about that. I have kept mine up all year with rain and wind and no damage. I love Coolaroo.

I didnt Support it when I first got it and heavy wind it blew over but didnt break. After I mounted it to on one side and a bouganvillia grew up the other side its sturdy and secure. It's pretty thick so if your are mounting the bottom of the legs with or in concrete I would say yes no issue.Or if the fence thats in concete is being attached to the sides of th arbor.

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.

Holds up great to wind. We have it over a pergola. We have had a couple severe thunderstorms come through Virginia with no issues.

It is. So if you can put it in a place your confident the wind won't grab it, then yes this will work for you.

It is pretty strong,has held up with high winds, I do think grommets might be better with some extra material . The mesh might not hold up w/o. I hope this helped.

The umbrella holds up just fine. The suggested base was not heavy enough to withstand the force of strong winds so the entire unit at times would fall over. I bought a heavier base and haven't had any more problems.

It is well constructed. I dont believe occasional rain will hurt it. I would tilt it down a bit so it would not act like a catch all.

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

The cones are sturdy, they've held up well to all kinds of thrashing by a toddler boy, but I don't know weight-wise if they'd hold up to strong wind.

You should contact the manufacturer to get specs on what MPH winds it has been tested to withstand. From my perspective, as an engineer, I think it is very sturdy. The main hinge is made out of sturdy aluminum and the two side support struts are made out of about 1/8" thick aluminum with sheet metal screws holding them on.

I'd be a little concerned about it if there was any wind. While you can stake it down I don't know if it will hold if it was windy. Hope this helps.

have left it outside all summer in all conditions, tied around two brick posts and one line drilled into a wood board, and have never seen any problem with the wind. however, that is in an area that is protected from wind by a two story building and brick walls, so that may not be a good test. it seems to be quite sturdy material.

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.

Seems like a pretty sturdy shelter. For wind I wound add some extra tie-downs and use screw in stakes. Having said that I am not sure any shelter will stand up to a lot of wind and snow.

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.
