I have a double gate with two 6'h x 8'w wooden privacy leaves and experience regular wind gusts of 20mph. Will this keep them closed?

Yes it will keep them closed because the arms automatically goes into a lock feature onced completely closed, however this is the slowest set of arms invented in history

No problem with wind only friends pushing the gate to squeeze by. I put an electronic latch on and have had no more problems. As of this date I am still very satisfied with the setup.

I am using it to block view on a very sturdy chain link fence 6 feet tall. I installed heavy duty cable ties and pulled it tight. We have had wind no more than 15-20 mph and it blocks some but not all of the wind. It is a weave fabric and air can flow through.

Dust will intrude. Its not that tight, it is just tight enough to keep rain out. It will withstand the wind however.

I measured the outside edge of the wheels which measured 2 feet 10 inches across. This would be your biggest problem if your gate is not this wide. The nylon mesh is wider than this but you would be able to squeeze it through. It is not a rigid mesh - so you could put less leaves if needed. Hope this helps.

It tends to get windy here as long as you have it anchored down with all the doors and windows closed you should be fine. We had wind gusts over 40 mph with no issues.

Theris no closure. One side has approximately a 1' opening from top to bottom. Face into the wind and there shoild be no loss. I would suggest, however, to stake down or somehow weigh down the bottom so it does not spin or flop aroun in the wind. Hope this helped.

As long as there's not a lot of traffic by the door. I use mine outside and had to be creative to keep it from going off every time the wind blew anything around it. Hope this helped :)

This is a wooden gate that is not finished.I would suggest either staining it or putting a coat of Thompson seal on it to keep it from absorbing rain.Otherwise it should be fine.

Should work fine. I used one on a 6' wide gate and it is stable. I did use lighter wood (cedar, not treated) for extra assurance. Had to drill new holes for the set screws that keep the 2 halves from sliding apart since the holes drilled by the manufacturer were on the wrong side of one of the tubes.

I doubt the wind would be a factor if you use the spike at the bottom. My problem is mine only worked for a couple of weeks.

if the gate is a little bit twisted it doesn't close on its own. look very closely from different angles, may need some tweaking on the install. good luck

I have it placed in my yard so it does not get direct wind. We have had wind gust up to plus 30 mph and have had no problems. I made 4 stake out of 3/8 x 2ft rebar and placed them on the corners with no tie downs. If you are going to place it in direct wind I would plan on getting bigger stakes and tie down line. The frame looks like it will hold up to high wind. Hope this answer your question.

It has several tie down cords for the corners and grounding stakes. I have had mine in 20-30 mph wind gust with no real problems.

There are hook attachments that hold the cover down at the corners. I used these to attach each corner to the deck using a 2" or 3" screw and had no problem with wind. If you put each screw through a washer, the screw will not slip through the hole in the loop in the hook attachment.

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.

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.
