Do these blow around in the wind, or do they have something to anchor the bottoms to the frame when they are down?

It has two adjustable hook eyes for anchoring it. We conect these to a bungee cord.

YES... They blow around in the wind. I have put cement in two coffee cans and attached them to the bottom of the shade. This works up to about 30 miles per hour, if stronger winds, I roll up the shade.

I have mine installed inside but are rated for outside use but according to the instructions, you can use the tie-downs.Note:If you choose to use the Tie Downs, you will need to install something to anchor themto. Many customers have used: u-shaped hooks, s-shaped hooks, or screws. In severe wind orprolonged exposure to wind, sun shades should be rolled up to prevent damage.First, remove the End Caps from either end of the Bottom Rail. Then, slide the Tie Downs intothe channel/groove (Fig. 8). Reinstall the End Cap.Here is a link to the installation instructions: http://www.meijer.com/assets/product_files/pdf/Coolaroo_Select_Sun_Shade_Instructions.pdf I have mine installed inside but are rated for outside use but according to the instructions, you can use the tie-downs.Note:If you choose to use the Tie Downs, you will need to install something to anchor themto.

Yes. But anything heavy works. We used cement filled coffee cans with eyebolts through the bottom, combined with bungee cords to hold the bottoms down. We roll the shades up when winds exceed 30mph. Seems to work fine.

I move them a lot, and have not had any problems either. Sandbags can work to stabilize them in windy conditions if needed.

They just wind around the trunk. They stay in place and are very good protection for our young trees. We are very happy with their performance!

yes the do a nice job in the wind. They are a bit messy to fill and the containers are small so you do have to refill them fairly often but otherwise they are really quite nice.

They are round with a round plate tack welded to the bottom with a hole in the plate to anchor it down, and believe me it will need to be anchored

If there is no wind, they will hold a tent at the beach. I would put them in at an angle instead of straight down.

It blows over rather easily. You'd have to weight down the bottom shelf, but keep in mind there's a definite limit to how much weight the shelves can hold. I have it protected on two sides by walls and when filled, I don't have an issue with winds.

There are ties at the bottom to attach to the swing legs - We have had a lot of extremely windy days and have not had any problems. I love this cover.

As long as you set them off in the right conditions with no wind they will slowly drift upward. If there is a strong little wind they will float away pretty fast

They are heavy. No way a wind could blow them. I have been very happy with my purchase.

Anchors. This thing could blow away in a strong wind without them. Make sure anchor it.

It keeps the tent from blowing upward if it is windy !!! Trust me...you need them !!! We just did a party without them and wham...the wind came up and there went the tent right up and over people and cars !!! It was ugly and we will always from now on use them !!!!

Mine is always set up in a lower portion of our deck so there is not too much trouble with wind, But... When I do need help, I put a small bag of sand along the inner supports .

We have had over year on our back porch where we have had high winds and they did not fall over. They are very sturdy.

The bags just hang but the construction of the bag "hangers" and the frame are very solid - I stuff mine to the max and never have a problem with them drooping or pulling on the frame.

It has several anchors for the bottom base.These anchors that can be used for concrete or asphalt. Ours hasn't budged in winds gusts over 40 MPH.

If there is very much wind it will tend to fall over so if it is on the beach, rope ties and stakes help
