Does the lid stay put when it is very windy, or does it fly off?

So far, so good! We've had a couple pretty windy spring storms and the lid has remained intact. However, it probably would be prudent to weight the lid or bungee cord it if you will have the sandbox in a location where it will be exposed to strong winds.

The lid stays very well, we've never had it fly off. It keeps rain water out too.

We had ours out for 2 days and had a windy storm in which the lid flew off. There is no way to properly secure the lid to the sandbox. It may depend on where the sandbox is, or how windy it is, but a rock or brick placed on top of it would be your best bet to keep it secure.

The lid stays on the cup that I have. A small rubber gasket thing on the lid is what holds it in place.

This blanket doesn't have any hooks, but it is sturdy and heavy duty. I don't think you will have any problem with it flying in the wind...at least we didn't have any issues when we used it at a windy concert.

I have one I ordered in May 2014 and it has held up to some very gusty winds although we try to close it when it's windy, we sometimes forget. The umbrella has cutouts at the top to allow the breeze to flow through without blowing over as long as it is stabilized at the bottom. Hope this helps!

I have two of these and the lids are very secure, though they do not screw on. There is a slight bulge that catches the lid to help it stay on.

I've never tried to take the lid off, but it has never accidentally come off.Wind is definitely an issue. You need to either set up a wind screen by the stove, or set up the stove in an area sheltered from the wind. I reccomend buying one that has the side screens built in.

I have never had a problem with the lid staying back while drinking. The lid is pretty sturdy and once you pop it up, it stays up.

Mine stayed on all summer throughout storms and such. We also put an extra bungee around it, but it really didn't need it...it pulls tight to the boat. It's a great little cover.

No it stays on but u can't see it until u open the lid. But it stays warmer if u keep the lid closed. Beat thing I ever brought.

The lid slides off when you press in the button on the side of it. That same button helps air escape when you put the lid back on.

The lid comes completely off. It snaps on, but sometimes it's hard to get it to let loose.

Yes the lid comes off. The edges are all smooth and don't stick out. The screen itself is slightly below a plastic lip, but I don't think would impede anything.

Ours is sturdy and has never fallen, however, it never encounters wind. It stands on shiny, slippery tiles and gets bumped every day by people passing by and adjusting it. As was stated by someone else, stability is determined by keeping the panels folded, i.e., at 90 degree angles, bunched together. We learned from previous experience with screens -- if you over-extend the screen, it will fall when bumped; folded/bunched, ours never falls.

Also, the lid is not necessary to keep the bag in place. It stays on nicely even without the lid.

The lid doesn't latch or anything but we have had ours for just shy of a year and the lid has never blown off. Some water has gotten in but I live in Washington so rain is prevalent. I am very happy with this purchase and would buy it again!

I have had no problems with wind blowing it out. A strong wind will slow down the cooking time a little but not much. I am very satisfied with the grill.

It has a small wind release. Very small. Not really noticeable. Doesn't do much to help with wind.
