On a windy day will this shade "stay put" (is it attached in any way?); Or will it tend to blow open or off?

I would think it'd be fine in wind. The over-all cover has elastic sewn in so it makes for a snug fit over the car seat. The screen/mesh is built-in to that part. Then there is a separate piece (sun/wind cover) that you can pull down that is attached at the top. It also has elastic sewn in the bottom so that is how it is attached to the seat when it's down. It also fits pretty snug so it shouldn't come up when windy. I had twins with an Evenflo car seat and a Baby Trend car seat and it fit both well.

I have mine in a sheltered spot on my porch so can't answer to how it stands up to high wind but being round with feet on front and back and right on the ground I don't think it would blow over. Good little house but I would try to shelter it from the weather.

I live in Florida near the beach and have a lot of wind. I have not screwed the unit down yet but it does make a little noise and move around a little on really windy days. I would say to just try it for a while it may depend on location. the top does a good job letting the wind through.

If its properly installed it will stand up to winds very well. We have had winds from light to all day 25mph winds and storms up to 75mph we have had it almost a year no problems.

Pretty good depending on what type of wind, when its staked down it holds really well. There is also sand bags on each corner to add more weight if needed.

I would say no. My umbrella stays put when it's folded and tied shut but if its open, the wind will take it away. The screw to tighten on the base to hold the umbrella tight is a piece of junk and doesn't tighten. I would honestly go to Walmart and find a pretty concrete one on clearance for $19 like I did. I should have looked there first. Good luck!

Hi we live in Portland Tx, Spring and Summer can be very windy here, 3 corners are anchored to the house and one on Post cemented and then anchor to a tree otherwise the post will bend, hardware used ( steel cable, turnbuckles, anchor mounts) bought at lowes... Haven"t had any issues so far, great shade cover.

Mine is always set up in a lower portion of our deck so there is not too much trouble with wind, But... When I do need help, I put a small bag of sand along the inner supports .

We live on the beach and it can be quite windy. We haven't had any problems due to wind, but we do have the pole secured on a deck railing as well as on the deck itself.

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.

It did fine in the wind. We had one day with strong winds that would make the tent bend a bit but it never pulled loose from the stakes in the ground. We didn't even used the sandbags.

It is solid. During hot days we normally slide the shade as high as it will go and bungee the center to allow the breeze to blow through.

If you're expecting a good wind, yes. Best to tie it down. Overall a good product and we're very happy with ours.

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 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.

very easy to install. It will take 4 holes, two per side. Yes, you should find something that can handle the weight of the shade, especially in the wind.

The shade could be attached to the wall of a house or garage using "screw hooks" but they need to be very secure to hold the shade in windy conditions. Same with poles; they would need to be braced very well.
