Has anyone who purchased the cover, experienced a problem with the cover in high winds?

The cover is fine in the wind. You do need to secure the heater with the cover to something that will prevent it from falling over. I use my fence poll and a single string. Work well for me.

I have not had a problem with this cover. I live in Columbus ,OH. We have 5.5 " of snow on it right now . Wind chill factor is 7*,so I haven't been out much.

I was concerned about that myself when we purchased the shelter. We live on top of a mountain in the country and have had wind gust up to 50-60 mph this winter. We have had absolutely no problems with it. I did put it by a row of trees to help protect it and staked it down with additional re-bar and clamps. the canopy and structure have held up well.

Yes...my cover ripped after a short period of time and they replaced it free of charge. Kind of a hassle that I had to contact them, but experience went well.

I had lived in places with high wind in the past, so I would say any covers can get ripped depending to how strong the winds are. With that said I think this one has better chance of staying put, due to its material of construction and elastics at the bottom, also it has a vent which could move the air through it. It is better than any other ones I had in the past and I paid almost twice as much for those.

We have had the same issue with our cover. Our Performer sits on an elevated deck and we're on the eastern end of a pass through the Blue Ridge Mountains. In winter, with no leaves on the trees, the wind blows strongly through the pass and has blown our cover off several times. I've put two grommets in mine and used bungee cords to secure the cover. No problems since.

I did not have a problem with the cover, other than the frame itself did not hold up to a small rain storm, maybe an inch of water from rain made it collapse. I think maybe a little more slope?, or stronger tubing. I am not going to complain too much, I have spent more money on other things, at least it held up long enough to give my garden a good jump start

I have not had any problems with it. Comes with a weather proof cover It was much better than I thought it would be. Jim

My has on several occasions. I have it stretched pretty tight, and learned a special knot (a taut-line hitch) that really does the trick -- it allows you to adjust the tension, but will not pull loose, even under high winds and rain.I have noticed the sail sags some when it's really wet - I've learned NOT to tighten it then, it'll straighten back up when it dries out.

The best thing to do is to call Truxedo and ask them. They are very helpful and the differences between some of the systems is very slight - it might be a simple fitting in the front or back. We really like the Truxedo cover. It has worked beautifully at highway speeds and high winds.

My husband and I bought one of these, but it ripped on one corner after a windstorm we had not too long ago. We hadn't had the cover on for more that a couple months.

I have had this cover for a little over a year now. We live in a high altitude area with lots of high, gusty winds. This cover has so far held up very well and we are pleased with it. I would recommond this cover.

No, the cover does not close at the bottom, but we have had no problem even with pretty high winds. It is a great grill cover and looks so nice.

Yes so long as its not a really windy day the cover doesn't seem to hold very well with high wind gust constantly coming 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've only had mine for about a month but the cover does seem to be very durable and sturdy. I leave my cart outside and so far the cover has done a good job. Has survived several thunderstorms and has kept the cart dry.
