We live in the desert south west where we see winds in excess of 50 miles per hour regularly in spring. Will this cover withstand sun and wind?

It does have two hooks on both sides however, I removed them because when removing the cover, it gets stuck all the time! All I use is a bungee and put it from peg to peg over the cover of course...

I am sure it will however when we have high winds we add extra bungee cords

We live in AZ, not much rain, but what rain we did have it was great! Also holds up in wind and dust storms. Very happy with this cover.

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!

The cover is made well, but make sure you do have it tied down well. I have someheavy winds and it ripped. It will fade from the sun as well. But for the price, its not bad. Life about 2 years plus.

It may deflect some of the wind, most certainly bugs & rocks. I would check all the bolts on the hood hinges to insure they are tight.

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.

No, with the wide brim it catches the wind like a wing. That has really limited the days I can wear it here in the windy desert.

I would think so. Obviously there is a gap at the rear or you could not put the cover on. But if headed into the wind direction most common, it should not be a problem. I live in Colorado and it is working well so far.

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.

Yes so long as its not a really windy day the cover doesn't seem to hold very well with high wind gust constantly coming off

I can't answer that because I live in Hawaii...it's sunny here nearly every day. I have the unit mounted under the open beam ceiling of my patio so it doesn't come into contact with the elements except the wind, if anything. Sorry I couldn't help much.

I have not had it up in heavy wind. I'm no expert but I would think anything tent or umbrella like will not hold up well in heavy wind. A beach breeze is no problem though with both sides open for ventilation. Does that help?

Is fine in our back yard with strong winds, have placed small bricks in corners, but have had no problems. It comes with small tent pegs, but I wouldn't trust them to strong winds. No cover for the front. Live in high desert, so rain hasn't been a problem.

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.

We have had it for a few months and it is a very nice heavy duty cover. I would assume if it will be in the direct sun every day it might fade some.

Yes this tent is absolutely great in bad weather. There are 6 places where you can stake the tent into the ground and maybe 6 more places where you can tether the shell. So yes it will withstand the wind very well as well as the rain.

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.
