I live in Chicago (the windy city) should I be concerned that the planter will blow over?

Ours are filled with potting soil and we put rectangular containers of mints on the bottom shelf. Top planter drains into bottom. We have very strong winds off the ocean and have not had any tipping- we have six planters as a salad/herb garden. This is our 3rd or 4th year and they are like new.

Sure it's top heavy. I would put some weight on the bottom shelf. Potting soil or bricks. However, it is a great little planter.

I don't think you'll have a problem. I have mine on a deck that gets plenty of wind and the potting soil weighs it down enough that it doesn't move, much less blow over.

?? Not quite sure how to answer you - how hard is the wind blowing? Once it is planted I am sure it will be stable enough to stand up under an average hard breeze/wind. I have had no problem with either of mine on a deck with no wind barriers/protection. I used a combination of light to medium clay soil and potting mix as well as the plants which might have added more weight than you intended.

I would say yes it's made out of plastic. It is only heavy by the amount of soil you put in it

I have a potted one indoors that is beautiful. The other one is outside, and it's too early for me to tell if it will come back well from the winter. I'm in Atlanta, GA.

It gets fairly windy at my house and I've never had an issue. I keep the weber cover on it also if that helps.

I don't think you would have any problems as I have the same type of railing and we have two on the back deck. The look absolutely wonderful and I am constantly getting compliments on the planters. Good luck and have a great summer. I forgot to mention that we shimmed a small sliver of wood in between the planter and rail and have had no problems at all!

Being in the cold of winter, we have yet to be able to try it out. Looks like it will be fine. It is not super tall, so it shouldn't be a problem. We plan to use them around a fire pit, so I wouldn't even use our fire pit if it was that windy. Check it out!

I placed if in a raised vegtable bed so it's protected from the wind. I would think that it would blow away, at least the top layer

As long as it's covered and protective by rain or snow ... You should be OK. It's not adapted to be laying on the ground outside for sure. It truly works like a charm. Hope that helped. Happy shopping!

I'd be a little concerned about it if there was any wind. While you can stake it down I don't know if it will hold if it was windy. Hope this helps.

Absolutely not. Wind, rain, pretty much any element is an issue. I'm on my third one and my review is changing as I realize how few things it stands up to. It's perfect for what you are describing but if the wind is heavy you are in trouble. I have anchored it down but then came the rain and it caved in.

I believe the base is hollow. I have dirt and plants in mine and it's never fallen over. We do get winds up to about 30 miles per hour.

I would imagine it should be OK as long as there is some angle tipping the trellis towards the house. I seem to remember the spikes being fairly supportive, but once the weight of vegetation increases you'll need some way to ensure the trellis doesn't tip. Once its covered, you'll probably not notice any difference.

You could try. But the wind might blow it over, depending on where you place it.

My screen is on a covered patio. It does not knock down in regular windy conditions but can if they exceed 50 mph. If someone brushes by it would not fall over. Not sure if that helps.

Yes. Just make sure it is mounted/weighted down. Otherwise a strong wind will knock it all over.

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!

I would worry about the light weight of this fan. It would tend to blow over if you had any wind at all. I would go for a heavier weight more stable fan,

if there is no wind ,,yes, My one was broken after 2weeks after i bought. Because my apt is 17th floor and there is windy at the balcony.
