We get some pretty high gusts here near the Great Lakes occasionally. What are your suggestions for over 40mph winds?

Fiberglass reinforced replacement blades are now available on Amazon and can handle higher winds. http://www.amazon.com/Pacific-Sky-Power-Replacement-Fiberglass/dp/B00M8AHHCO/ref=sr_1_5?s=lawn-garden&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1408134789&sr;=1-5

If wind gusts are a problem I would set the turbine inside of a screen box so as to limit mother natures ability to whip the turbine. I believe it will handle up to 60 MPH winds if mounted properly.

We had rain and gusts around 30 mph in the woods of Northern Arizona's Rim Country. Properly secured we had no problems. I do recommended upgrading the tent stakes though.

We recently had a storm with wind 70 mi. Greenhouse blew away. We recovered it and put it back together with minor damage. We weighted it down with cinder blocks.

Best outside not around things that can burn.... dry season is here so beware of that. Wind is also something to watch for not being to strong.

Our chairs are on an open patio. It has been very windy on several occasions and the chairs have never blown over. We had 40 mph wind gusts last week and still no movement.

I have no idea. We hit wind chills of -30 here a few weeks ago and they are still working fine!

Yes, it can handle strong wind. We loved ours in all weather. In fact, ours did well until the snows hit. We got a foot of snow and ours crumples like an accordion. It was about 10 months old. We were very sad to lose it.

I have the Hooligan 4-person and have used it during a heavy rain storm and it was fine. Wind gusts were probably 5-10 MPH

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

No problem with light winds. Flies well with light gusts. I have had mine up in 5 mph winds and it handled it just fine.

We enjoy our beautiful teak set, and because we live in WI we can experience extreme weather conditions (even in summer). One time last summer we experienced 30MPH winds that lifted the umbrella out and turned the table over. So if you are in a sheltered area - no problem. We happen to live on the Wisconsin in a somewhat wooded and open prarie like area. Hope this helps!

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 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

We have some pretty high winds and ours is only anchored with four. So far it has not budged. I hope this has been helpful.

You can buy a wind speed indicator, or use the Beaufort Scalehttp://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/scales/beaufort.html

They are not lightweight by any means and can survive winds up to 30mph, anything more than 60mph+, you should just bring them in so they do not get blown away.
