We often get winds of more than 20 MPH. our average is 8 MPH. will it last at all?

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!

Yes! I live across from an open field with no trees in the front yard for a wind break. My house faces the west so we almost always have a fairly significant west wind blowing in our direction across the open field. It's been 5 or six months and it's still up there with no sign of it blowing down. Make sure its secured as directed and you should be fine. DO NOT try to put it up if it's the least bit windy...it's very big and will easily get away from you.

My antenna has survived 70 mph gusts, and constant 30-35 mph winds and still performing great. John

Yes,I live on a mt. top and high winds are common and this model has held up well.We had a 50 mph wind that broke the pole holding our two ant's.and it only did minor damage to the ant.This is a great value for your money .

Hi James we get a lot of wind here to in west virgina we live on top of ridge. Its a big antenna and catches a lot of wind but so far its done great. One thing I suggest is using two inch mast pipe thu. I used inch and quarter and the wind bent it some but stayed up. I'm changing mine to two inch in spring. I live 50 100 miles to stations and I regularly get 30 to 37 channels. FREE You SHOULD INJOY IT

Yes it will as long as the pole it is on will hold up. It's a big antenna so it does catch the wind. It is built very well and strong. We get hit with the Santa Ana winds here they had no effect on the antenna.

as long as it does not get below -40. wind chill has nothing to do with it.

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.

You need to roll it in on windy days in talking 20 30 mph winds.make sure when you mount it it is secured to solid mounting very important. Dont skip secure mounting or in wont hold .

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.

I would say if the wind was very mild it should be fine. I'm using mine in my classroom so I really don't know how it would do in the elements.

It has done a nice job at highway speeds, although I had a 40 mph head wind once and I had to do a little work on it. I no longer use it because I have a 5th wheel

my fist season with this cover on my rv, am located in long island ny where it gts very windy. we just had a 2 ft blizzard with winds gusting to 60-7o mph and so far so good.

It is better than most in a light wind, gusting winds will flip it but normal light breezes it is fine.

Just make sure you anchor that baby down really well.. It can handle even 35 -40 mph winds!!!!

I have left it open for gusts 15-20 miles/hr. & it was fine. When I expect stronger gusts, I close it.

Well, depends on what you mean by wind. Normal wind, sure. Gale force, no. What table would?

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.

In my experience yes. We live in a class C wind zone and gets 30-70mph winds and it hasn't blown off completely ever on my 1970 Buick.

It depends. It will withstand up to 30 mph winds. Anything higher and it will blow away. I found that out when I put it up in my backyard. We had sustained wind of 30-35mph and gusts of up to 55 mph. I not only buried those tent spikes but put a couple of bricks to hold the tent down. Didn't help. Other than that, with a little wind, it seems to hold up. Just have to anchor it with some bricks or rocks on the inside. Hope that helps.

We just had a week of 15-25 degree days and it consistently blew about 80 degree air. Should be no freeze up as freeze up is from humidity.

I've stood on rooftops in a 20 mph wind, worked in radio cabinets with fans blowing right in my face and never had a problem. Just be sure to use the windscreens supplied with the headset. You will be amazed.
