How well does this block the wind?

My experience has been, if it's a light wind then it does pretty good. However we had high winds a couple of days ago and the screening was practically ripped completely off of the fence. So basically I would say yes it does block light winds but beyond that I would say no.

had strong winds the other day and it did well, but should a hurricane come i am sure we will open sections for the wind

I feel that it does block the wind, but I used this in as a privacy fence for my pool screen enclosure, so I actually have it layered as pool screen, privacy fence and then lattice on the backside as well. I can say that there is still wind passing through so the air in my pool area is not stagnant, but I haven't felt like a major gust of wind or seen any rips. I absolutely love this and my boyfriend agreed once it was hanging. Excellent for the price and we did it ourselves. You can definitely see threw it as well. I hope that helps!

We found our fence to block the wind effectively, even strong winds, it held up pretty well. I actually have no unfavorable comments, it's done well for the price. We looked at a company doing our privacy fence and got price of 250.00, with the same fence, paid a neighbor to put up for 25 bucks!

Yes, very well. I have used it in a back yard surrounded by concrete block fence, in Nevada, subject to winds, and it works.

Yes, it is very strong . We used it when it was windy and it was ok and as we can change the position it is very convenient to be able to be protected against the wind

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.

We don't get a LOT of wind at our house. However, on the times that it has been breezy, this fabric doesn't let a lot through. If I had to guess, I's say that it only lets about 1/3 of the air-flow through. However, that's normally quite enough to keep the air fresh and allowing hot air to be pushed out. We've never found it stuffy.

It tends to get windy here as long as you have it anchored down with all the doors and windows closed you should be fine. We had wind gusts over 40 mph with no issues.

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

Have only had winds around 25-30 mph and a fence protecting one side... but so far so good. I have had it set up for over a year and no problems.

I see another person answered that the breeze goes through it because it is mesh. It is mesh, but very tightly woven mesh. It does break wind gusts. It does not block air flow 100%, but definitely would break gusts. If you want 100% air block, tarp would be probably work better, But I think I know what you are doing, and this would work fine for a garden. Tarp would work, too. Which is cheaper?

The wind noise canceling is effective. But it won't work against stronger winds. It's still great for normal breezes and the like. Just keep expectations realistic.

It will hold up just fine if you secure it properly, if the wind whips up underneath and/or is moves it will not hold up - but neither will any other cover at this price point.

I would say it is wind proof however if there is a cold breeze it will cool the fabric and you will feel that but no wind pushing through the fabric that I noticed

We have had a few good wind storms maybe 40+ mph and it has held up well no issues except the cover comes with little boots that you tie onto the gutter spouts before the cover goes on and one of them came off and caused a small hole. Most likely my fault. Just need to find a better way to tie on the boots. No complaints though.

It's impervious to the weather. If you use the clamps that are provided with it, there is no concern for the wind.

it's heavy enough it's not likely to blow away, especially if you,attach the bottom on with screws.Ive never have one move in them wind with two of them sitting up against my house. it's. Very sturdy & Insulated too

No it's pretty much open it works great but under heavy winds I dunno. I've noticed the nature of the fabric really holds stuff in place well... kinda like herb velcro.

It stood up well in a night-long rain/snow mix, though I had it covered with a plastic tarp. There was some wind, maybe 15 mph, which is why I used the tarp for warmth. I have not used it in a 30 mph wind.
