Does anyone know how the cover works with lots of wind?

We get a lot of wind and lots of strong wind gusts . We never put anything on the cover, and it has never blown off.

There are some small holes in the cover that allow some water to lay on top and prevents the wind from getting under it. Also, I like to lay a pool net and a pool brush over the top when it gets really windy.

Hopefully my information will help you. Ours measures 112" Long, 71" wide (from middle to side, making it 142" completely across) and 35 1-/2 " high. It is big and we tie extra nylon rope around the bottom to keep it from flapping. It has never come off in the wind, but we are just extra careful. One thing the site does not tell, is that there is mesh material that is 4-1/2 inches wide that is 17-1/2 inches from the bottom on either end of the cover. My guess is to keep air flowing so that if it is windy the cover won't blow. Also, there are heavy nylon ties on either end (that was not mentioned in the description). We are very please with ours - it has proven better than any others we have purchased. Hopefully my information will help you.

Florida can be very windy and it is holding up well. Yes, the breeze goes through the mesh.

More than likely it will blow off. We fastened with straps and so far it has made it threw 60 mph winds. Good luck

I have not had a problem with this cover. I live in Columbus ,OH. We have 5.5 " of snow on it right now . Wind chill factor is 7*,so I haven't been out much.

I set mine up on a concrete patio to see if I could fit my tent underneath it and it seemed to work o.k. like that. I don't know if it would withstand any wind to speak of, though.

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.

I do not have high winds in my area however it is a mesh type fabric and the air passes through readily. It does not move much here.

I have 2 of these blinds, when the wind gets up over 20 mph it will shake around. it will blow away if you don;t keep some weight in it.They work very well.

It copes with a reasonable amount of wind IF you set it up properly. The front needs to be as curved as possible to provide rigidity.

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.

Mine is under a pergola (which is attached to my deck) and have never had a problem with wind. I actually have 3 shades under there and not a problem all season.

No it's pretty much open it works great but under heavy winds I dunno. I've noticed the nature of the fabric really holds stuff in place well... kinda like herb velcro.

Ours has been outside since November and is doing well. It is sitting on a shelf of an outdoor bar table and has some cover, but still gets wet if windy and it gets windy a lot...plus a lot of humidity here on the coast. An overhang would provide similar protection.

I've had the cover on the hot tub all summer and haven't had a problem with the wind blowing the cover off or even moving the cover at all. I was expecting to have to weigh the cover down and planned on using small sand bags since the hot tub is situated in a windy corner of the yard but nope, it hasn't needed any anchoring yet.

Sorry to be so long in getting back to you - Yes there is a buckle on the bottom of the cover to keep the cover from blowing away. We had some high winds here 25+ miles an hour and the cycle was knocked over by the wind but the cover did not come off. I hope this answers your question.

This is very thick, and additionally with the elastic around the bottom it prevents wind from getting up underneath and blowing the cover off. (Although the elastic around the bottom does make it somewhat of a challenge to get the cover on and off by your self - but it is worth the small hassle due to the improved protection.)
