I live in an area with heavy rainfall. How does it hold up in wet, windy weather

Awesome! We live in the South and when it rains here, it pours, literally! And lots of strong gusty winds, too. We've had the shade up for 4 years and it's still going strong. We recently purchased another to cover more of our deck.

I've only experienced light rain over it while using an umbrella, but it held up pretty good. It was wet in the outside and dry inside.

I'm hoping it will last me for at least a few years. We have experienced a lot of rain and it is holding up just fine. I'm just worried about heavy wet snow.

You are out in the elements. The rain cover does help but if outside long enough, it will get wet.

I've only used it in a light drizzle, and it worked fine. I wouldn't recommend it for a heavy rain because it is made of a cloth blend and probably wouldn't repel water very well. This will work fine in light rains, though.

We live in New Mexico with similar climates it sounds like. It holds up well. However we plan ahead with cases of strong wind and lay it down on it's side in the mornings before we leave for work or at night before bed. My sister has one as well for her kids, and they have it filled with a sand and water mixture, and the don't lay it down like we do. Hers has not fallen. Hope that helps.

I haven't used it in the rain but it is of sturdy construction so I would say you should be fine in the rain.

If its properly installed it will stand up to winds very well. We have had winds from light to all day 25mph winds and storms up to 75mph we have had it almost a year no problems.

It is constructed of a hard plastic - so rain would not be problem except for the non-slip padding on the top. It would probably wear more quickly in the sun/rain, etc.. Unsure about stability in strong wind.

Mostly. I have two units in our yard. Same brand. One has taken wind and weather with NO problem, the other seems to get a little finicky when wet. Maybe one is more exposed to a certain direction of wind or rain, who knows. But once it's dried out again it works just fine.

Yes, it holds up to the rain. You have to make sure the tire has good coverage of the product.

I have left it up during light showers, which it handles pretty well. I have lost too many of these things to the weather, so I always take it down when thunderstorms are in the forecast. In my opinion, the build quality is what one should expect for the price; not flimsy, yet not designed for extended exposure to the elements.

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.

It holds up pretty good but if its to windy you can put stakes at the corners of the stand. They come with the umbrella.

As long as it is pulled tightly, it keeps my patio dry. Mine has been up through many showers and the patio underneath had stayed fairly dry. Of course, it does get wet around the edges when the wind blows the rain under. Also, you need to be sure to have it tilted slightly to let the rain run off.
