How much does this weigh? My clay Chininea blew over in a wind storm last week and broke. If it does blow over, is it likely to break?

Heavy enough it won't blow over- I can't see it breaking, it's well built. Mine has never tipper over...

This chiminea is really solid. We have had pretty strong winds come thru with storms and it never moved. We keep ours on our back deck on the mat. I researched these a lot before purchasing this one. Very heavy. I would recommend it. It's a little more expensive but as they say, "you get what you pay for."

Hi Daniel, I think this Chiminea is about 50 lbs and seems pretty sturdy. It survived "Sandy" without getting blown away or damaged (standing in a corner on our deck). And I highly doubt it would break should it get blown over. We really like it and I'm glad I bought it. I definitely recommend it. Hope that helps!

Not sure how much it weighs. I can pick it up without a problem. it is made of cast aluminum and should be stronger than clay.

Hello Brian: I live in the Desert and it gets pretty windy here. I have not had an issue with the cushions blowing away. However I am about 210lbs and I will tell you that I wish the cushions were a little firmer / thicker. I do love the set and would by it again if I could get a thicker cushion. They really are a great company to do business with. Hope this helps.

No.I had to add weight to prevent umbrella from tipping over in 15-20 mph wind.If no wind,it works fine

I don't think that it would blow away, its pretty heavy. I have it on a Gazebo (nothing under it) and I do not have it tied down. We have some pretty good winds here and it doesn't move.

I don't think it would be heavy enough. I like mine a lot but use it after I have roughly turned over my vegetable beds to break the clay soil.

I know what you mean, we used to live in North Carolina and the winds got bad out there. It is not heavy but not light either when I hold it in my hand. I stood up on a scale with it and it weights 5 1/2lbs. Id say it will stay put during regular winds. During bad winds like 40 mph, even our big swing was flying. I really like this crocodile and so do my boys - 4y and 19 m. When only one of them wants to use it, he sits in the middle, both of them on opposite sides, and when a friend comes over, all 3 of them have a seat. I would recommend it because it is not that big or heavy to put it away during high winds, it is very easily wiped clean, nowhere for spiders to make webs, and the handles are smooth, unlike other seesaws on which I red reviews for. The kids have it inside or outside as they please. If you want to, I would set it out front next time its quite windy, which is often on our hill by the ocean here in Hawaii, and Id let you know what it did.

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.

It blows over rather easily. You'd have to weight down the bottom shelf, but keep in mind there's a definite limit to how much weight the shelves can hold. I have it protected on two sides by walls and when filled, I don't have an issue with winds.

Probably fifty or sixty pounds. Unless you have a really bad windstorm, you shouldn't have to worry.

If it is full the weight has kept it from blowing over. I suppose it could but I have never had a problem. The base is pretty wide and solid.

We installed ours straight into the dirt. Our dirt is somewhat softer, not clay. We placed a piece of wood over the top and pounded into dirt. It is working fine and seems stable enough. As for strong wind, I can't really remark on as I placed this in a location where somewhat sheltered by the house ( cabin) But, since it is a rotary dryer, wouldn't it just spin if hit by strong wind? On another related note, at my main house our soil is much denser and I have installed a PVC sheath into ground for a thick Tetherball pole, no cement, and that also has not moved even with the hitting and swinging forces on the ball/pole. I hope this comparison Helps. We installed ours straight into the dirt. Our dirt is somewhat softer, not clay. We placed a piece of wood over the top and pounded into dirt.

The top portion comes off (top lip right below the yellow sticker). If you have it outside it will blow off in any wind. Actually, the whole thing will blow around the yard if it is not weighted down with rocks. I plan to put rocks in it and glue the lid on to keep it from blowing around. Indoor use is best if it is for storage - I bought it for my male dog to pee on outside though :-)

I don't know the actual weight, but it's very light. I can easily carry it across the yard by myself, and if it's not anchored really well the wind will blow it across the yard too.

Wind will be a problem, it is not sturdy. We love it but it is more decorative than anything. I find the bolts loosen with frequency and need to be tightened regularly. Nice piece though. Hope that helps.

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.

I use this when making clay dolls that are baked. The armature is positioned after the clay is applied then baked. The clay is the supporting material not the aluminum armature. If you are going to use this for limb flexibility in a fabric decoration, my guess would be ounces. I don't think it will support anything with substantial weight. It is very flexible.

It's pretty light weight and will blow over if any wind. I doubt if it will warp, but I bet it will fade and I do not think it could handle rain. I really think it's meant to be indoors. Sorry.
