Are there any type of weights to keep it from slapping around in a breeze?

It comes with ball end bungees and hooks to attach to your siding for tieing it down. No weights, though.

They come with 2 shock cords which are attached to the ends of the lowering bar. The cords can be secured to the decorative wall anchors which are supplies with the unit.

no weights really, but it has a bottom rail, & the rail end has tie downs, so it does not flap around, I have 3 of them on my house. Love them!

No the cooleroo has 2 bungy cord attachments at the bottom that keep it in place on windy days.It's a nice feature... you just lock them in to the brackets and attach the cords. There's a ball l at the bottom that locks into the wall mounts. It's nice and stays in place.Richard in Texas

Just the weight of the fabric. The slapping dose not seem to be as bad as I had wondered my self and has not caused any problems so far.

If it is not through a table which stablizes the base somewhat. Find the heaviest base you can. Here, we get some fairly strong winds.

Not heavy enough to keep the umbrella (not supported by a table) from falling over when a stiff wind comes up!

I just ordered another one-so the answer is no. Hope that two will keep the umbrella from falling over in the wind, but we do have alot of wind.

No wind problems. We use ours on wood floors. We angle the outer panels to provide additional stability.

Anchors. This thing could blow away in a strong wind without them. Make sure anchor it.

It's heavy weight plastic but the wind would worry me. It comes able to stake it to ground I think but you'll need to come up with something to protect it from weather I would assume. Weighted tarp?

The weights worked fine for us on a New Jersey beach in July. Not real strong winds, but there was a breeze every day, and the weights kept it stable. We used the stakes and lines included with our canopy on the first two days, but didn't bother with them on the next five days and had no problems with movement at all.

Not heavy enough to keep the wind from blowing it over constantly. And because of its hinges, it is difficult to move around.

It's done great in NJ through some of the major summer storms we have had. If it's on a patio definitely get the weights, they make a big difference!

There aren't weights but I haven't had a problem with these blowing inward during shower use.

Absolutely not. Wind, rain, pretty much any element is an issue. I'm on my third one and my review is changing as I realize how few things it stands up to. It's perfect for what you are describing but if the wind is heavy you are in trouble. I have anchored it down but then came the rain and it caved in.

The unit does not come with rope or anchors. The unit heavy if you are experiencing light wind you will not need to strap it down

Mine is on a covered deck where the wind is limited. I have not had a problem but the furniture is pretty light weight. You could add some Velcro to the cushions to try to help keep them in place. If it is a high rise and the wind picks up enough this would not be good up there. The furniture is sturdy but does not weigh a lot.

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.

I've used mine lakeside where it was fairly windy, but you need to be sure to stake out the guy wires. You can add weight straight down from the corners, too, such as bungee to your cooler,etc.

We used ours on grass, dirt, asphalt, really just about everywhere. Yes, you will need to buy weights. When it gets windy, it will shift dramatically without them.
