Does the baffle fit securely in the wind? Does it tip or flop any?

Baffle has been secure. Haven't seen any problem with it tipping or flopping.

The entire construction seems to be sturdy. Fittings are secured by substantial depth in the way parts are seated. And my baffle is regularly attacked by pigeons, and they are getting nowhere.

The baffle is very solid and doesn't move in the wind. I live in a very windy place and have had no problems with it.

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.

Ours is sturdy and has never fallen, however, it never encounters wind. It stands on shiny, slippery tiles and gets bumped every day by people passing by and adjusting it. As was stated by someone else, stability is determined by keeping the panels folded, i.e., at 90 degree angles, bunched together. We learned from previous experience with screens -- if you over-extend the screen, it will fall when bumped; folded/bunched, ours never falls.

yes it does. It will turn around and around if the wind is right. I do not mind though, it seems to get clothes dried like in a dryer.

Absolutely, and with style. The baffles mean you can use it in even windy weather with ease; no danger of it turning inside out.

It is stable in that it does not fall down even when wind is blowing quilt. Yes it moves with the wind or if someone bumped it, but it also settles back into place without adjusting if you put clip in center.

I think it's useful in the wind. It keeps the the brim from getting pushed up as easily. Some people snap up the side to make a fashion statement. Unless it's arelly stiff wind I dont fold the side brims up.

It is well constructed. I dont believe occasional rain will hurt it. I would tilt it down a bit so it would not act like a catch all.

I luv it. Very sturdy.we get severe winds and it doesn't phase it. I also like how it has a extra piece to make the holder tsller if you want.

I have never even had to worry about it tipping. I don't raft where it's very rough though. Very stable.

I live in an area of England that has high winds and have never had the cover come off--I like it because it isn't heavy and really is secure--I have a VW Jetta.

Hi Barbara,I bought mine last year and i have had zero problems with it and it is very secure. I filled mine with sand as it said you should and it worked great! I live in an area where we have a lot of wind and it did not waver a bit. I also have pea gravel over the bottom lip flush with the upper lip of the base and it has not moved in the first year yet. I have mine by a path leading up the side of my waterfall and the lights look great!! I hope this helps and thanks. Rick

I did add a baffle to mine and it's worked well. So far I've been able to outsmart the little beasts!! The pole seems to be about one inch in diameter.

The antenna will be fine in wind if you mount it properly. Don't secure it you might have a problem.

You don't have to use the dripper, it has an on/off knob, with which you can also reduce or increase the flow. It doesn't tip over in the wind as long as it is well anchored and the birdbath is well anchored, however, the wind can blow the dripper so it is twists off center and ends up dripping on the rim of the birdbath. Mine isn't in a really windy area but I still readjust it daily. The birds love it and I love the birds, so worth it to me.

it's ok in light winds, but your need a wind break for higher wind condition.
