How does the tent with 3 sides in place hold up with wind? What is the thickness (denier) of the material? Will this tent last? TY

No matter what tent u have to secure the sides. We used straps that hooked to cement blocks and only had 3 sides on. Believe it or not the front part helped with the wind and rain. I just have to make sure it dosent keep water. The thickness is pretty good. Not not thin like most of the ones I have looked at. It's not as thick as I thought it was going to be from the add. Yes I think this tent will last. I also like the fact u can put it at different hights and still have the sides on.

Yes to all your questions. I love my easy up tent. It is built very strong and with weight bags it stays in please. I have been very happy with mine.

Ours lasted through one season of arts and crafts festivals. As to the wind, I don't know, we have not been in any high winds as of now.

I've had my canopy for one season of outdoor shows and it has held up well. The walls are durable and good protection from the light wind I've experienced. I use homemade weights which keep the canopy in place on an asphalt surface. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase of this product.

We purchased the text last season for festivals and fairs. The tent is very durable. The sidewalls are average. I would give the tent an overall rating of 4 stars.

Not sure about that. There is a vent in the top that might allow dust to enter if blown in by heavy winds, but other than that, no more so than any other tent. Also, it's got a large profile to wind, so if that's your concern, might be an issue.

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.

Hello, I agree with the first reply, you will have to get anchors or something with weight to hold it in place, we use ours when camping with our RV. We have it secured to our RV and to the grounds in many places along its base, and have yet to run into problems when the winds go above 20 mph. Just figure a way to give the base of it some weight and you will have no issues. I is a great tent and we love ours. I'd recommend some anchors cemented around it and you will gain the peace of mind it is secure in place. Over kill will never come back to bite you. We,ather and the winds as front line ahead of the storms are more fierce than many years ago, the negative is the cement, its not like dirt or grass. Your issue is holding it in place to wind. Act of GOD "Mother Nature" something you can't control Think over-kill and you will have no problems.

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

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.

We camped for four days, two of which we experienced heavy constant downpours. With a tarp underneath, it held up well. The fly does not go down the sides at all, so you must be very very careful to not allow anything to touch the sides or it will leak. Also, the little stow pockets on the side will leak if you have anything in them during rain. It was only moderately windy and it held up well.

I have used my Kodiak in Alaska for months at a time due to my job. I have experienced probably all the weather conditions you can imagine. In strong winds I just take the awning down and the tent does fine; it is just a matter of now well you set your stakes. I have also used this tent in -10 degree weather with just a propane Buddy heater with no problems. Rain, wind, snow, not a big deal for this tent.

Highly recommended. We took it to burning man last year.. In addition to the heavy winds, sand storms and extreme heat, it stood up pretty good in the rain one evening. I would recommend using commercial grade stakes to keep it bolted to the ground. The ones that are included are to flimsy.. Just my 2 cents..

This tent is designed to withstand more wind than the ones with the rigid metal support. I think it works great. I put mine up last summer and left if up for 4 or five months in Montana where it is very windy - train cars get blown off of tracks. Awning was fine. I would recommend any EZ-UP product. They are all made well. The only applications where I would not use this particular awning would be if you were going to hang something form the cross pieces. These supports are like the supports in most tents. Feel free to ask more specific question.

All room walls and the 'front door' have cover flaps that zip closed from the inside for full privacy. We haven't been in extreme weather but it's a really great tent for the price, should do well in reasonable rain/wind. I always make it a practice to take along a couple tarps (one under the tent) duct tape and extra tent pegs. Btw IRecommend investing in 10 or more strong (metal) tent pegs and a hammer or hatchet. The ones that come with the tent are cheap, break easy. The 'patio' is great, we had a small fold up table & 3 coolers in there with room to spare.

Some wind can be withstood, but I put mine on a covered porch. That lessens exposure to wind, rain and sun. It is a nice set, but I doubt it will hold up if exposed regularly to the elements.

I think it would hold up pretty good. You "nail" the tent down to the beach with stakes. So the better you secure the stakes the better it will hold up.

I have had my original Coleman 13x13 for at least 6 years, and had it up in approximately 30 mph winds. I had staked it well, and it held up fine! I am convinced the canopy vent keeps it from flying away in the wind. I am purchasing my second canopy to cover the other half of my patio for a BBQ party.

If you don't mind doing some sewing a stove pipe could be added. My observations about this tent. I had it out 5 times last summer. I'm in Kansas and purchased this tent last year (2013). It can get pretty windy here with little to shield the tent from the wind. And, I can say, this tent is not friendly in a high wind... kinda sound like sleeping next to a about a hundred flags in hurricane. It's a good tent with a direct wind under 15 mph. The guide line ropes that run down the tent walls are held on the tent with plastic rings. They can break and are easily replaced. The guide lines are only held to the tent mid way down the TeePee. This leaves a pretty noticeable sag at the bottom of the tent. I spent about a two hours adding another spot about 18 to 24 inches up from the floor for these ropes to hold the tent out. This greatly added useable room to the tent. The tent needs to be sprayed with silicone (tent sealant) and it'll need the seams sealed otherwise it'll leak. Also, when you are hoisting the tent up, be careful with the top of the TeePee. There's a piece at the very top which allows for ventilation. If this folds over and it's continued to be forced up, it'll break a plastic ring holding a rope to the tent. It's an easy fix. Lastly, the Nylon tent door (not the screen) does not have a bottom zipper (the screen does). That said, this is a very spacious tent (with the additional guide line attachment). And, it's super easy to put up and take down. One person can put this tent up without any struggling.

We just set ours up this past weekend. It comes with stakes (8) - 4 to hold down each corner along the floor, and 4 more attached to string and hooks along the upper portion (right below the arch) of the green house...similar to a tent. We have not had any high winds yet, but I assume it will hold up pretty well.

I think the tent is well made , BUT I it would not hold in 50 + MPH wind That is a very high wind you are talking about. You will need a tent made for high wind and harsh weather I hope this helped
