How much does it weigh? Will a normal wind blow it away?

I am guessing about 4-6 lbs. I have it sitting on top of a large ceramic pot as the base and it does not move in the wind nor when birds come down to visit. It is easy to clean. I have a small (bird bath size) solar powered pump in it so the water gurgles most of the day.

It's not heavy at all. I've never had a problem with it blowing away.but I don't have it sitting on a pedestal. It fit perfectly in an old metal table I had laying around. The only bad thing was the middle coloring peeled off but it still good. Purchase a solar water wiggled that sits over the spot.

It is very light weight but I don't think a normal wind would blow it away especially if you have water in it.

I have had it for quite a while and it has never blown away. As long as water is in it, I would think it would take a gale force wind to blow it away.

I have mine in for the winter so I just weighed it, it is 3.11 lbs. We get some pretty gusty winds here in the northwest and it doesn't budge, the weight of the water helps keep it in place. Mine sits on a large glazed pot and a raccoon was able to shift it off center a little (didn't tip it though) so I used some museum putty and nothing has moved it since.

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.

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

Easy for 2 or more people cause it is pretty big. It does NOT do well in wind, since it is a fan/blower system, it is pretty low pressure and will flex pretty badly, but on a still night or with a light breeze, it's great!!

If you're in a large enough area, it'll handle a little wind. It's light enough that it can get tossed if the wind picks up. We live where it's pretty windy for a good part of the year, so it ended up not being a really practical gift for my husband. The helicopter's a little big to be used inside, but a little small for medium to high winds. I got it because I was assured that it was a great helicopter for beginners to learn how to fly, and it is... if you have good weather. It flies like a dream on calm days.

I have had this unit on my back porch for three weeks and it withstood winds that blew a 12 foot plastic pool across my yard and tree limbs down from trees last week in Midlothian Virginia. I estimate winds around 25-30 miles per hour. Enough that my storm windows were slapping in the frames. The GH did not rip or blow apart. It is not anchored, it just has the weight of starter seed trays with mulch on the top and middle shelves. It is located on my back porch and one side is protected. Happy, Happy, Happy

I don't know how much it weighs, but I've had mine for a year, and it is heavy enough that it hasn't ever been moved by the wind, and I don't believe that it will ever blow over.

Moderate wind. Mine has never fallen over and I leave it on a table on the deck during the worst of storms. But I would imagine if we had a strong tropical storm it would probably tip over.

I'm not certain how much it weighs, however, we've had them for years and they have never blown over! They have good weight to them. I hope that helps!

We have an especially windy back yard and with blocks on the base it has been fine. As long as you take it down in high winds it is OK. We used 16 inch flat paver stones to weigh it down.

I would say it's heavy enough to not blow over. I use it down at the beach, which can be windy, and it works fine on my porch. It's also very stable. I'm not great at figuring weights, but I would think it weighs more than 10 lbs.

It's quite heavy and stable. I can't imagine it would blow over in less than tornado or hurricane winds.

It's not really heavy, but the nylon liner may act like a sail in heavy winds. Haven't had any issues with wind personally.

It's a decent size. It's light so becareful on a windy day. Not sure what you were looking for. I would say maybe 4.5 feet tall or more.

Two piece unit weigh 14.5 pounds. Generally too heavy to be blown over by wind. Always buy one size larger than you think you need. My Boston terrier when stretched out fits the medium size perfectly.

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.
