Do the edges need to be weighted down so that the wind does not blow the cover off?

Yes. It works better if the edges are weighted down. The cover works well and is very easy to fold and store once you practice a couple of times. Good value.

Yes, I have 4 points held down with small cinder blocks with a half circle ridge in the bottom. Not much of a problem. Keeps leaves and debri out of the in-ground spa.

Yes, there are no latches or anything like that on the edges so they would have to be weighted down by anything heavy like a brick block or something.

I've had the cover on the hot tub all summer and haven't had a problem with the wind blowing the cover off or even moving the cover at all. I was expecting to have to weigh the cover down and planned on using small sand bags since the hot tub is situated in a windy corner of the yard but nope, it hasn't needed any anchoring yet.

No the edging has a metal ring and hold to the ground fairly well. I haven't had an issue with it flying away and we just finished up out monsoon/rain/wind season.

It has several tie down cords for the corners and grounding stakes. I have had mine in 20-30 mph wind gust with no real problems.

On my covers there is at least one strap. I think the intent is that you use the draw string to pull the cover tight and use just one strap to further secure the cover if desired. I never use the strap at all and haven't had any problem with the covers blowing off, even in pretty strong winds.

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

yes...it just sits there...heavy enough.that wind wont blow it, but light enough to move

Not heavy enough to keep the wind from blowing it over constantly. And because of its hinges, it is difficult to move around.

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

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.

No, but I'm not sure why you would need any. The cover hangs so low that there is no way for the cover to accidentally come off, even in a very strong wind.

There are screw holes on the feet so if you need to screw it down so it doesn't blow away then you can. Mine isn't secured down and it hasn't blown away. It pretty waterproof and heat resistant. I've used it during the rain and it wasn't a problem. Although, if the wind is blowing the rain from the side, then you will get wet, so we put up a curtain.

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.

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.

It tends to get windy here as long as you have it anchored down with all the doors and windows closed you should be fine. We had wind gusts over 40 mph with no issues.

We get a lot of wind and lots of strong wind gusts . We never put anything on the cover, and it has never blown off.

I live in an area of England that has high winds and have never had the cover come off--I like it because it isn't heavy and really is secure--I have a VW Jetta.

Hi we live in Portland Tx, Spring and Summer can be very windy here, 3 corners are anchored to the house and one on Post cemented and then anchor to a tree otherwise the post will bend, hardware used ( steel cable, turnbuckles, anchor mounts) bought at lowes... Haven"t had any issues so far, great shade cover.

We try to make sure it is closed when it is very windy. The wind will pick it up otherwise.
