Do the arms collapse to protect structure on windy days?

Yes, it folds up. A little awkwardly because it is a rectangle not a square. But folds nonetheless. I put mine away after each use. Have been using for a year no problems.

Not sure. Ours just busted after a couple of months. We never considered moving the arms in, and it busted before we figured anything out. I don't think we ever used it.

Yes, they do but it is quite sturdy and it would take a lot of wind to damage the one I bought. Getting it folded probably won't be easy tho, nor getting it back up. What I do is just pull the entire thing out of the ground and lay it down against the garage.

It does fold down but it is not tied or secured in any way...I actually bring mine inside when it is that gusty.....just to be safe!

Hi, I have not used the hat on a windy day, however the velcro attachment allows you to adjust the hat to be as snug as needed for the wind. It is sturdy enough for me to say I think it will sustain the wind with reasonable speed.

No, but it has pins to hold it down. It is very well balanced and not dangerous to kids if it toppled due to wind. I've never needed the pins to hold it down.

There is a elastic around the edges.. I live on hill and get heavy winds and it has never blown off.

You tie down the corners to stakes about 3 feet out from the corners. Helpful in wind.

It did fine in the wind. We had one day with strong winds that would make the tent bend a bit but it never pulled loose from the stakes in the ground. We didn't even used the sandbags.

Absolutely. I have left mine up for ten months and there's not a tear. It has also stood up to some pretty fierce winds, but I wouldn't recommend putting it up on a windy day, unless You have some good auger stakes. Mine is on a concrete patio, and I have eyebolts going into the concrete for the tiedowns.

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.....

They are lightweight, but because they are mesh, air can pass through them. Therefore, they wouldn't be as prone to being blown away by wind as an equally large object of the same weight, shape and surface area that is made of a nomporous material. With a strong wind it could stil happen, and the height and weight of the item that is covered would also figure into the equation, since the mesh makes it unlikely for the cover to gain lift.

In extremely windy conditions, I collapse mine and tie it. Any umbrella will catch a very strong wind and blow away.

It collapses very quickly if needed. I don't know about it blowing over by wind because the one I have fits down in the opening in the middle of my outdoor table into the medal umbrella stand.

They have tent stakes to hold them down. The anchor is only as good as the ground though. A high wind area will require more stable anchor!

A little. but we had to close it when it was really windy. It came shaking.

The rods are simply pounded into the ground - i put some bracing between the panels and the AC and have no problems with heavy winds - these panels look great, require no maintenance, the price is right and they hide the unit - i would buy them again.

I haven't noticed a spinning, but I do put the umbrella in collapsed position during windy days.

It moves with the wind. We had to secure the base with heavy tiles and close the umbrella on windy days.

Yes, the sides do collapse. My son is seven and when he falls into the netting, the two closest pillars fall in. He gets up on his own or we push him back in. It does not affect the base. We have it anchored down with sand bags. The only risk is if you are using the moonbounce inside. Make sure there is nothing around that the kids could fall on and hurt themselves.
