Does this hold well during high wind? I have a very windy area and sometimes the wind moves patio furniture.

I would have to say no. It will probably rip the tie down that holds it to the frame

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.

We do not keep it up during winter months....going on the third year of using it. Tie it down with tent stakes. One of the best purchases we have made!!!! THANK YOU AMAZON!!

We haven't had winds that strong since I installed it but I think it will hold up if installed properly. The anchors seem very well made to me. Hope that helps.

I had mine set up next to a covered patio for two years. It handled the wind just fine; it was the constant exposure to the sun that finally did it in. The fabric became brittle but the frame was still in good shape. During high winds, such as thunderstorms, the tent would flex quite a bit but it never pulled out of the ground stakes. However, if you must take it down for winds in excess of 40 mph, that is easy to do. Just pull the support poles out of the ring with the stem at the ground level and the tent will lay flat. To re-erect it, (with the help of a friend) re-insert the ring stem, re-position the poles and it will be up in less than 10 minutes (unless the friend proves to be of little help). Make sure you have the flaps secured before you lay it flat. R-von

Mine has torn from being pulled. But the fabric is still pretty thick and tough. I'm going to buy another one for another piece of furniture. You can't beat the price on this. I would say that it will stand up to your weather, just be gentle pulling it back over the furniture.

it will stand up to light wind, we add a couple of extra tie downs to it if it gets breezy and it works great. we use the four tent stakes that come with it and then add two cords, one on each side if it gets to wobbly with wind. it stays up great!

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.

I haven't used it in heavy winds, but it feels pretty darned sturdy to me! This is a great umbrella.

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 was concerned about that myself when we purchased the shelter. We live on top of a mountain in the country and have had wind gust up to 50-60 mph this winter. We have had absolutely no problems with it. I did put it by a row of trees to help protect it and staked it down with additional re-bar and clamps. the canopy and structure have held up well.

I would use an umbrella clamp on the furniture. However, I would restrict the use to a fairly light weight clamp/umbrella, and not leave the clamp/umbrella on during strong winds. The wood does not appear to have the composition to resist strong actions.

I left two outside all winter. We had severe winds often. They are attached to my wood patio awning and a tree. No damage to the wood structure (built like a deck) however one of the shades tore at the corner. The other weathered everything and is still hanging.

I set mine up on a concrete patio to see if I could fit my tent underneath it and it seemed to work o.k. like that. I don't know if it would withstand any wind to speak of, though.

No wind problems. We use ours on wood floors. We angle the outer panels to provide additional stability.

Some wind can be withstood, but I put mine on a covered porch. That lessens exposure to wind, rain and sun. It is a nice set, but I doubt it will hold up if exposed regularly to the elements.

Absolutely. I have left mine up for ten months and there's not a tear. It has also stood up to some pretty fierce winds, but I wouldn't recommend putting it up on a windy day, unless You have some good auger stakes. Mine is on a concrete patio, and I have eyebolts going into the concrete for the tiedowns.

In any wind condition that is above a few miles an hour you will need to anchor it. It is heavy and pretty sturdy but not heavy enough to withstand any moderate to severe wind. It comes with tie downs that are built in to the canopy that you could probably extend and anchor in the yard just off the patio. Or if you want this to be a more permanent structure you could use cement anchors thru the feet.

I haven't used it in heavy wind but I don't think any umbrella is good in heavy wind. The way it is made, it should be good for wind but, again, I don't know about heavy wind.
