Are the rockets top heavy? Are they less likely to get pushed around in the wind?

I dont think they are top heavy the go on a stand but I guess they would be pushed into trees or such if it is windy.Havent noticed much drifting of course a five year old is playing with them,Hope this helps

The whole rocket is light plastic and foam, with just a bit more weight in the top (nose). If you have a moderate wind, the rocket will be pushed downwind as these are not model rockets and meant to be used by children around 8-10.

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

I would worry about the light weight of this fan. It would tend to blow over if you had any wind at all. I would go for a heavier weight more stable fan,

The rockets are soft and not heavy, but it could damage any valuables in the house. It would be similar to throwing an inflatable ball in the house.

No problem with light winds. Flies well with light gusts. I have had mine up in 5 mph winds and it handled it just fine.

Depends on the rocket. These are rather thick slabs (I use then for the base of DC powered air propelled cars in engineering education) and unless you have a large model rocket, these would not likely work all that well. Too much weight and fairly thick for typical model rockets.

I live in So Cal on a lake where the Santa Ana winds can kick up to 60 mph+. I have three of these units around my pool and backyard. Never have they blown over. They have a rather wide stance and while not HEAVY do weigh a reasonable amount. Would not consider the wind a concern. Only concern is that the inside is not smooth so if you over stuff the garbage bag in the unit is difficult to get out.

I know what you mean, we used to live in North Carolina and the winds got bad out there. It is not heavy but not light either when I hold it in my hand. I stood up on a scale with it and it weights 5 1/2lbs. Id say it will stay put during regular winds. During bad winds like 40 mph, even our big swing was flying. I really like this crocodile and so do my boys - 4y and 19 m. When only one of them wants to use it, he sits in the middle, both of them on opposite sides, and when a friend comes over, all 3 of them have a seat. I would recommend it because it is not that big or heavy to put it away during high winds, it is very easily wiped clean, nowhere for spiders to make webs, and the handles are smooth, unlike other seesaws on which I red reviews for. The kids have it inside or outside as they please. If you want to, I would set it out front next time its quite windy, which is often on our hill by the ocean here in Hawaii, and Id let you know what it did.

The supercub is a good size plane. You wont have a problem with light winds.

I have used them a few times to hold down a 10x10 canopy. They seemed to work well, but we never had terribly high wind with them. They are supposed to be better because they hold the legs at the bottom and not the top which compromises the strength of the canopy. They weigh more filled up than what I was using previously so I will keep using them. It does make it hard to put your sides on if you have to close up for the night though.

I would say yes to the wind, but not sure about people pulling on it. They are pretty strong, but flexible enough to break under extreme loads.. Sorry not much help

I got them last summer and they are great. They have not move in the wind but I also have them in a back yard that is well protected by land scape. I was impressed with how sturdy they are.

Just a note. the hub that the legs connect into as well as the legs are steel and not lightweight at all and quite heavy duty. That is what makes the tent so heavy. The first time I set mine up in my yard a strong wind came along and blew it 2 houses down. It was in a pile and I figured the legs were destroyed, but there was not so much as a slight kink in the legs. They are pretty beefy.

The cones are sturdy, they've held up well to all kinds of thrashing by a toddler boy, but I don't know weight-wise if they'd hold up to strong wind.

They aren't particularly heavy, but are heavier than composite material chairs. Ours are on a deck and have never blown over.

They are lightweight, but because they are mesh, air can pass through them. Therefore, they wouldn't be as prone to being blown away by wind as an equally large object of the same weight, shape and surface area that is made of a nomporous material. With a strong wind it could stil happen, and the height and weight of the item that is covered would also figure into the equation, since the mesh makes it unlikely for the cover to gain lift.

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.
