There are two metal channels that get screwed into the top of the windshielld. The top then has plastic strips on it that slide into the attached channels. Yu can use the screws that secure the hard top to thw windshield for the channels

It should be safe and secure in strong winds as the water adhesion should hold it in place.

you have to lock tight all the screws. they come loose and fall out. also you have to secrure the bottem of the windshild. it will flap around while riding.

My husband ties it on the roof rack but also takes the excess and knots it to really secure it. We travel 6 hours to our vacation destination and have not had a problem with it.

It has stakes to ground it and it can be secured to a wall as well. Mine was not on level ground and we have very high winds. It tends to be top heavy if you aren't careful. Mine lasted just one spring, the plastic isn't sun safe and cracked.

I have not had any problems even in high winds. I just raked out the dirt a little deeper, pushed it in the ground and covered it with the remaining dirt. The bottom has two prongs formed like an H and it is very secure. I planted flowers around the base and it is just beautiful!

There are some small holes in the cover that allow some water to lay on top and prevents the wind from getting under it. Also, I like to lay a pool net and a pool brush over the top when it gets really windy.

We anchored down with stakes. Have not used in high winds so can't say. Very happy with purchase would buy again.

Mine is under an Oak tree so it is protected some what. I have 4 30" auger anchors and 4 15" auger anchors securing mine down. In a strong wind it doesn't even wiggle.

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

The top comes off and has notch so that it locks it in place. Love it, as the deer and my cats can't knock it off.

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 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.....

put the metal lid on top and then the plastic round ring goes over the top of that. It will stay very secure and tight.

I stake it to the ground at the poles but also added some small nylon ropes and attached them near the roof to add sway protection (your reference to guy wires) in case a storm comes up. With the sides down, it's a big area for the wind to grab.

The legs have flat tabs at the base that have small holes in them. There are L-shaped pegs that slide through the holes in the tabs and secure the arbor to the ground. The arbor is substantially heavy. The pegs seem to be enough to hold the arbor in place. I have only had this for a few months but it has withstood sustained winds of 20 mph and gusts of 30 mph.

the fixture is weather resistant and secure in the wind. make sure the mounting box is secured to a sturdy structural member.
