If I ziptied these to sturdy stakes do you think they would help protect 2-3ft seedlings from wind? My open yard gets a LOT of wind.

Yes I think it would work. Remember to get some twist ties as they are open so that you can out them around the tree. Good luck!

Yes it should. Remember to trim the grow through branches after the top is 2 to 3 feet clear of the top. You should follow recommended pruning procedures.

Yes you could do that. If your deck gets much wind exposure, you will need to put some heavy bricks or concrete blocks on the flaps that go around the bottom of the greenhouse. This is how I kept mine from blowing away or over onto it's side. The big question is: "Will you get enough light on a covered deck?"

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'm not a horticultural expert but I don't believe that will be the issue. Keeping then on will, a light breeze will blow them off if not secured well. I have found that if you leave them outside in the sun the UV rays in summer will destroy the fabric. I will near Sacramento and we get high heat.

Absolutely. I even stapled mine to stakes for extra support. The material is so strong, the wind had little effect and I was able to reuse the same piece this winter.

I have not mounted mine at this time. I put some rocks in the bottom of the planter and then plated some flowers. We have had winds sustained at about 35 mph with gusts up to 50 and they have not even swayed.

Not that I know of ... sorry. It sounds like it could work, though. These are wooden stakes, however, so they will eventually rot, I would think.

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.....

That's certainly likely. They are very lightweight. I like them and the fact that we get three sizes in the set. If it's windy, many things will blow away--paper napkins, your tablecloth, anything plastic that is lightweight. I've most used them in the house in summer to keep away the fruit flies. Don't let the wind factor keep you from buying these. They also collapse down to flat so they are easy to store.

They are not heavy enough to withstand high winds. I attached mine to shepherds hooks and eventually they have blown off by our strong winds and broken. I would fasten something heavy to the bottom (a metal plate of some kind) to hold them in place.

The poles are made to be flexible to deal with wind force. I do not think they are strong enough to handle the weight of a tarp. Perhaps if the tarp was light.

I live in a very windy area and my solar shade is holding up well. I left a little slack when I put it over my over the top of my pergola to give a little on the windy days.

They come as 4 double cylindrical bags in the package which I use to wrap around a tent plow when stakes cannot be used in the ground. If I am picturing a table with a center hole where a large umbrella goes, it may work. If not, I am not sure what you want to stabilize.

I live in a very windy area of Texas, so I put 2 stakes in each section on each end. My trampoline hasn't budged a bit even after a couple of 45 mph sustained windy days. I like to be safer than sorry, so if it was me I would go with the 2 sets of four stakes.

I think you could do that - I use mine to protect a certain planter when it is really hot out - this umbrella doesn't work in the outdoor table that takes an umbrella - the pole is too thin

Number of stakes needed will depend entirely on wind. It's a large and tall tent, so it definitely catches air. I got caught in a strong wind storm a couple months back, and no amount of stakes would have kept it anchored. I ended up tying it to a tree, and the wind still almost flattened it.

They are not lightweight by any means and can survive winds up to 30mph, anything more than 60mph+, you should just bring them in so they do not get blown away.
