Anyone know what degree of winds these can withstand? Can I leave them up in 25 mph winds, how about 50 or 60 mile per hour winds?

I would think they would be fine. I'm sure mine has had 25, but 50 or 60 are rare here. It's got ample stitching and nylon ropes so they're up to it. Initially I would say yes, but as the fabric ages it's hard to tell.

Even though they are open-weave, leaving them up in the wind probably isn't a good idea. 50 or 60? definitely not. With the hardware that is included, it is easily taken down.

I move them a lot, and have not had any problems either. Sandbags can work to stabilize them i windy conditions it needed.

I don't think so. They are fairly sturdy, but if there is major (gale force) wind, you might need to weigh them down with something. But just regular breezes won't be an issue.

My guess is 25 - 30 lbs. Mine stay on my front porch year round and I have never had a problem with them blowing over. I put them in garage if there is a threat of really strong winds.

Easily! I wouldn't leave them out, they aren't fragile but the wind may take off with them. They are rather durable for how fragile they look. Unsaved them in a big plastic bin for future use. Give yourself time to fluff these, that was the hardest part. I did 12 and had a friend come over to help me for an hour.

Hello, I agree with the first reply, you will have to get anchors or something with weight to hold it in place, we use ours when camping with our RV. We have it secured to our RV and to the grounds in many places along its base, and have yet to run into problems when the winds go above 20 mph. Just figure a way to give the base of it some weight and you will have no issues. I is a great tent and we love ours. I'd recommend some anchors cemented around it and you will gain the peace of mind it is secure in place. Over kill will never come back to bite you. We,ather and the winds as front line ahead of the storms are more fierce than many years ago, the negative is the cement, its not like dirt or grass. Your issue is holding it in place to wind. Act of GOD "Mother Nature" something you can't control Think over-kill and you will have no problems.

We just had winds of 45 mph and 0 degree temps and no problem. I did make my own roof mount though. The antennae has no problem!

I live in Southern California, and so far they've been able to withstand crazy Santa Ana winds (in excess of 50 mph)...but we don't get a lot of rain and definitely no snow. They still look beautiful from the constant sun beating down on them.

They would not work with just water in them. We are in Hawaii and usually only using dry or slightly wet sand. Have had no problems. They have been the best to hold down tent in high winds.

I purchased the metal "tie downs" for this and have yet to install them. We've even experienced high winds (70+ mph) recently and had no problems.

I don't know actual wind speeds but if your anchor points are solid it can handle a good wind. Has provides good shelter in windy rain storms for us

No wind noise since they ride pretty low. You can open the sun roof to feel the wind at that point. Mileage.. Since I put them on, I've been carrying my kayak and stuff. Mileage would go down while you carry stuff.. probably not when they are empty.

Hi! Yes they are great! Mine stayed on through 80 mile per hr. speeds! Heavy rain and ice as well... Definitely recommend!

I use them indoors right now, but I would think a strong wind would knock them over. Someone else suggested filling them with sand to keep them steady.

Ours lasted through one season of arts and crafts festivals. As to the wind, I don't know, we have not been in any high winds as of now.

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.

as far as numbers I can't tell You. But I can say they are well balanced and have low wind resistance. I have seen them survive winds as high as 50 to 60 mph. Winegard has always built high quality equipment.
