Is there anything that can be done to secure the cover in the case of strong winds? I think the cover would fly away

The cover comes with a substantial section of Velcro attachments on both ends. Therefore you can tighten the cover or leave it as loose as you want. Also the cover is tailored to fit.

We have had ours for 10 years and never had a problem with wind. If you are buying it for the applicable Weber grill model it should fit well and wind won't be a problem.

There are Velcro straps attached to the kettle end of the cover that help assure a snug fit.

Ironically, we have had very high winds with storms over the past two days. No problems with the cover what so ever.Works like a charm.

In my experience, no. The cord around the bottom does not tighten the entire cover, only the ends of it really. We had to put something on top of it to keep it from blowing off in strong wind.

I don't think that it would blow away, its pretty heavy. I have it on a Gazebo (nothing under it) and I do not have it tied down. We have some pretty good winds here and it doesn't move.

The frame can be left up, but I would take down the cover for the winter or if you are expecting a storm with high winds.

Yes, I would advise securing it somehow, or maybe not leaving it in harms way during extreme weather conditions.....

No, but I'm not sure why you would need any. The cover hangs so low that there is no way for the cover to accidentally come off, even in a very strong wind.

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.

It has to be removed because it has a tie down string in the back... but I never used it except when we had high winds

Yes but you will need to secure it if there is much of a wind otherwise it will tip over which is what mine did and break.

It will blow away. We've already lost ours to a strong wind because it wasn't staked at the time. However, there are nylon loops you could use to tie it to something. Hope this is helpful.

The cover is fine in the wind. You do need to secure the heater with the cover to something that will prevent it from falling over. I use my fence poll and a single string. Work well for me.

I leave mine up with the canopy off- just the poles- through the winter and if winds are strong. We tape the connections with electical tape- it stretches and comes off easily. We also have it tied down to our deck. I'm in Norfolk, VA. If a hurricane or Nor'easter threatened I'd take the whole thing down. It's pretty big so it catches a lot of wind. I would say just use common sense. Replacement parts are available. We had some poles bend in a strong windstorm and just bought PVC pipe to put over the poles. It slipped on tightly ,was secure, and not too heavy.

The cover is very strong and would easily hold a child. The only issue I have is that there is no positive means to secure it to the window well.

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 am having the same problem. I plan to anchor it by placing a roped Brick O block to each corner post and lay one block on each side and back to prevent wind from getting under it. I have not tried it , but plan to.Please let me know of any ideas you get from others

How is it secured to resist wind? Guidelines? Weights? Do either come with it and if not where are they available?
