How does it do in the wind?

I have had them up for almost two years with no problems. They have made it through wind and heavy rain storms

I've had mine 2 years now and it gets very windy here , as long as its tied down good no problems

have left it outside all summer in all conditions, tied around two brick posts and one line drilled into a wood board, and have never seen any problem with the wind. however, that is in an area that is protected from wind by a two story building and brick walls, so that may not be a good test. it seems to be quite sturdy material.

We don't have a lot of wind in Colorado, but it's been great overall. We're on our third season with it.

We haven't. We get some good gusts, but nothing sustained. I think it's heavy enough that would be a feat. Unless you're in a very high windy area.

If its properly installed it will stand up to winds very well. We have had winds from light to all day 25mph winds and storms up to 75mph we have had it almost a year no problems.

Moderate wind. Mine has never fallen over and I leave it on a table on the deck during the worst of storms. But I would imagine if we had a strong tropical storm it would probably tip over.

I have been in 2 thunderstorms with some winds and it has held up. I used the 4 corner stakes, 4 rope tie stakes provided which are attached, and I use an extra top tarp over the back of my truck where I sleep anchored with bungee cords to my roof rack and then anchored to front of Coleman Screen room with bungees for extra water protection. Without proper securing I'm sure it would fly in the wind as it is very light weight. I love this product but for camping long term and to endure all weather conditions which may arise I do secure it very well.

I live in the Sacramento valley in California. It gets pretty windy here at times. So far so good. It is holding up pretty good

I fly mine outside all the time with no trouble. A breeze just makes it more fun to fly, though I've never flown it in strong winds. By all means take it outdoors.

I have flown this outdoors on calm days. *ANY* wind, however slight will make it hard to fly. Also, it's very easy to fly this up over treetop level and watch it get blown several houses away and stuck in a tree. Ask me how I know.

Easy for 2 or more people cause it is pretty big. It does NOT do well in wind, since it is a fan/blower system, it is pretty low pressure and will flex pretty badly, but on a still night or with a light breeze, it's great!!

It seems to do well in the wind due to vents installed along the length of the roofline on both side. Pretty impressive.

It does great at the beach. Even on a windy day, we cranked it up and could hear it from the water. Best purchase ever.

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

It is better than most in a light wind, gusting winds will flip it but normal light breezes it is fine.

It will tolerate a very light breeze, but nothing over 5 mph. Enjoy. I've had 3 of them, wore each one out. Great Bird.

It has done a nice job at highway speeds, although I had a 40 mph head wind once and I had to do a little work on it. I no longer use it because I have a 5th wheel

With seemingly no wind, I find that it still drifts a bit. It will fly over a second story roof. Whether or not it is actually a fun experience is up for debate.

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