does it hold up in strong winds

I would not bother setting it up if the winds are high for it will pull it up from the ground. The strongest winds I personally tested mine in was about 15-20 mph. I wouldn't really recommend it though.

Canopies of this type are not intended to be left standing when storms with winds are forecast. Even with very strong, weighted tie downs, wind will twist the frame or topple over the canopy. I have owned several different brands and they are all temporary shelters. This brand is the easiest to put up and take down of all the ones I have had. It only takes one person to do it and I am a senior citizen female.

We have been through winds and rain exceeding 50 mph. It did stay up but you need to have better stakes than what comes with the tent. So far we have been in 4 to 5 rain storms with little water in the tent.

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.

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.

We have fairly strong winds too, but the mesh was thinner than I expected and ended up doubling up the mesh. This worked for me and as long as you tie it up well it should hold up. It's not very porous so it should hold the dust back, but again, you'll likely have to double it up. I hope this helps.

I think it does pretty good. Strong winds are very tough to navigate but very mild winds are ok. Just have to put it in the more aggressive mode and more pitch to compensate.

In regards to windy conditions, please see my 2013 review by CWH on Amazon. I haven't used this item during any windy conditions. I do not feel comfortable that it would sustain heavy winds. As for securing the umbrella in the sand, I don't think the stakes that come with the umbrella will suffice.

Hi, Not really. We had some strong winds in Elk Grove, CA. a couple of weeks ago and it was all over the backyard. My husband recently purchased some hooks to attach to the fence next time we get a gust of strong winds. For the price it is a good deal. Hope that helps. Amy

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.

No. It is really a good quality. We have some really strong winds in the high desert and it holds up really well.

It does not hold up well with any wind. We usually just tie a rope to the legs and anchor it down that way.

We have some pretty high winds and ours is only anchored with four. So far it has not budged. I hope this has been helpful.

We did not use our during the winter yet. We had it up in August and it survived some high winds from summer storms without any issues. I was impressed on how sturdy and easy to assemble it was for the price :) Hope this helps

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.

Yes, but it does not hold up very well in strong winds. Additionally, our shade came with a couple of parts missing in the assembly hardware that they send to you.

I don't know about strong winds, but I've been in 20 MPH winds and there was no problems with the top down. When I opened the top, there was no issue.
