does it work (blow over) in windy conditions? In Texas we frequently see gusts above 40 MPH.

We have strong winds here in Ct also and it has never blown over. We filled the base with sand and it makes it quite heavy. I need my husband to help me move it. This This is the best birdfeeder I've ever had. Would recommend it to anyone.

I've had it for over a year. I live in Arlington, TX. I bought a 24"x24" concrete pad from Lowe's and leveled it on the ground with a sand bed. The feeder sits level and has never fallen over. It's a great feeder and the squirels cannot climb it.

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 live in SFLA and there is no problem when a storm passes through. You fill the base with sand and it makes it virtually impossible to even move to another location once filled. I'd like to add that this is the best birdfeeder I've come across. The design 100% prevents squirrels from getting to the food (just make sure you set it far enough away from anything squirrels can climb up and jump from), the food stays 100% dry when it rains or storms, and every kind of bird flocks to it. It provides quite a show! Lastly, it's pretty durable so far...just a tiny bit of rust around the hole where you put the peg in to secure it in the upright position and the larger plastic ledge has a small chunk cracked off. But it doesn't hinder anything. The cost of this feeder is way less than the cost of all the other feeders I've tried before which didn't last and were thrown out in just months.

Never moves but I buried the base slightly below ground level for added stability.

I live in the NW- By Seattle,WA. We get high winds mostly spring and fall-winter. So far, My screen fence has withstood the current high winds- Mine is Doubled up for extra privacy- facing West- to East secured on my side of the chain link. Mine billows like a sail and so far handles wind just fine- Single layer Vs wind ? should work fine. Some sunlight will show thru. kinda sparkles in late afternoon sun. Hope this helps- I've only had mine a month + D.Durham

We just had winds of 45 mph and 0 degree temps and no problem. I did make my own roof mount though. The antennae has no problem!

This antennae has worked very well for over the air transmissions. Our transmitters are within the 45 mi. range. With standard post mount, wind has not been an issue. There is a web site that will give transmitter locations for your area and antennae recommendations.

I live in So Cal on a lake where the Santa Ana winds can kick up to 60 mph+. I have three of these units around my pool and backyard. Never have they blown over. They have a rather wide stance and while not HEAVY do weigh a reasonable amount. Would not consider the wind a concern. Only concern is that the inside is not smooth so if you over stuff the garbage bag in the unit is difficult to get out.

My screen is on a covered patio. It does not knock down in regular windy conditions but can if they exceed 50 mph. If someone brushes by it would not fall over. Not sure if that helps.

It can blow down. You definitely can't adjust it to blow down as much as you can adjust it to blow up.

Just roll it up and it should be fine. I am in Imperial county CA. We also get strong winds.

It would take a pretty big gust of wind for it to blow over! I love mine and it stays outside all summer long

Chances are very good it will blow back and you're probably going to miss. If possible, try to move so the wind is at your back before you spray.

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.

It's not too windy where I live, but this antenna is lite weight and could be tossed around with a heavy storm I'm sure. If you secure it well you should not have a problem. It does work well.

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.

I live in the deep South. We have wind gust sometimes exceeding 30mph. I put the swing in my yard on an existing frame. I do not weigh it downwith anything. It has enough weight that it stays secure. Hope this is of some help.it down

It gets pretty windy here in Texas too. Since the shade rolls up I don't use it when we have high winds or high wind gusts. Also, I currently do not have the bottom of the shade tied down which allows it to be rolled up easily. If I were to use the shade in a windy situation I would either weight the shade down or tie it down. It is possible to do this to the shade either by tying something on to each end or to permanently securing it to something. However, if you're not using the shade in the windy situation just roll it up and it will be fine.I hope this helps.

From what I have experienced using it in mild to moderate gusts of winds it does stand strong but again this is a big umbrella which means more surface area and more drag in the wind.

Holds up great to wind. We have it over a pergola. We have had a couple severe thunderstorms come through Virginia with no issues.
