Is it reasonable to expect that the 17' saturated barrier will stay in place during hurricane winds?

I really can't say since I did not have that same situation. I do know once full of liquid, they are heavy as all get out. I've yet to get them to dry out and that's been over a month ago. Laying them in the sun did not evaporate the water.

I really do not know if it would be durable enough. The outside material is similar to landscaping fabric. You would have to weigh it down with something heavy. I'm afraid a high wind would cause it to tear. Is it possible for you to place it inside the area you are concerned about, such as on the inside edge of a garage door?

My experience has been, if it's a light wind then it does pretty good. However we had high winds a couple of days ago and the screening was practically ripped completely off of the fence. So basically I would say yes it does block light winds but beyond that I would say no.

I dont think it will withstand wind without some kind of support Even if you put sand bags on the legs I would think you should still tie down to keep it stable at the top.....

It is built with a good anchoring system, but I have not had to use it under extreme conditions such as high wind. Apart of the design that I found to be a problem is the angle of the walls. The way the walls are angled in from the base does not for allow enough coverage from rain. Even a light rain. If they were to increase the dimension of the roof, a little closer to the dimension of the base; more space would be useable inside the tent when it rains.

Have only had winds around 25-30 mph and a fence protecting one side... but so far so good. I have had it set up for over a year and no problems.

Is anything Hurricane Proof? It's round shape would help it Resist winds. And it's free flow opening would not make it ballon off the roof. If sealed down with roof grade sealant and the 8 or so screws in the base I think it would hold up prety good. I planned to put a thick sheet of plexi over the panel due to the hail we get here in Colorado. But haven't done that and not a problem so far. In the mountains we often get winds of 70 mph coming off the mountains and the Roof Fan is the last thing I worry about to be honest.

If you are trying to keep it from blowing in the wind anchoring it to cement blocks could work. The other day I did not have it anchored to anything and a good wind came through and it looked like a sail on a boat. I rolled it up. I do like it though. It is actually lightweight and built well. One end at the top of the curtain rod has a small round cap over the pin to protect it during shipment - you need to remove it --- I discovered it the hard way!

My three sets stay outside and I haven't had any problems with them being blown over. After several storms and windy nights, they are still standing.

I'd be a little concerned about it if there was any wind. While you can stake it down I don't know if it will hold if it was windy. Hope this helps.

I've used it at Pismo Beach and it holds up well. That being said there have been times it was soo windy I didn't put it up, same as I didn't use my awning either. The wind was blowing so hard that it felt like the awning would rip off. So if it feels to windy for the awning you might want to error on the side of cation and not put up the room. Hope that made sense :)

No, but it fits tight at the bottom and haven't had an issue with it staying put even in high winds.

Even in the worst storms, its never fallen over. We filled the bottom completely with sand and it stays upright. We did move it next to the house when we were getting ready for a hurricane.

I purchased the metal "tie downs" for this and have yet to install them. We've even experienced high winds (70+ mph) recently and had no problems.

Yes, most definitely. I cannot see the chairs being blown around unless there was a significant wind storm. Coastal winds would not be an issue.

I do not think that is being blown in the pool and the edges of the cover pool protejen winds. My house is windy corner and goes and so far has never left me.

Absolutely not. Wind, rain, pretty much any element is an issue. I'm on my third one and my review is changing as I realize how few things it stands up to. It's perfect for what you are describing but if the wind is heavy you are in trouble. I have anchored it down but then came the rain and it caved in.

So far, so good! We've had a couple pretty windy spring storms and the lid has remained intact. However, it probably would be prudent to weight the lid or bungee cord it if you will have the sandbox in a location where it will be exposed to strong winds.
