I have a lot of high wind here. Is it designed to be anchored to the ground, that is concrete?

You can anchor it to the ground. It stands up well to wind. Mine blows closed in high wind if I leave it up. I've had several of these things I use to park my motorcycle under each day. This one is the best so far. Very well made.I see that others are saying it doesn't do well in wind. I guess it depends on how much wind. Also, there are hols in the plate the internal support sections fasten into, and those holes are for anchoring to the ground...or whatever.

No it is not designed to be anchored down, but you could probably come up with something pretty easy. Thanks Flymotorsports

Yes this Shelter will anchor into concrete in six differnt locations ...it will with stand high winds if anchored correctly....

Hi, Not really. We had some strong winds in Elk Grove, CA. a couple of weeks ago and it was all over the backyard. My husband recently purchased some hooks to attach to the fence next time we get a gust of strong winds. For the price it is a good deal. Hope that helps. Amy

Although the feet on the bottom help it stand straight I would not use it outside without at least tying it down. It cannot take any wind when it is not tied or staked.

If you're expecting a good wind, yes. Best to tie it down. Overall a good product and we're very happy with ours.

I'd say it would need to be somehow secured into the ground. I would think a strong wind could definitely blow it over. We have ours screwed down onto a wooden deck.

We live on the beach and it can be quite windy. We haven't had any problems due to wind, but we do have the pole secured on a deck railing as well as on the deck itself.

Pretty good depending on what type of wind, when its staked down it holds really well. There is also sand bags on each corner to add more weight if needed.

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

I dont set it up on concrete but for grass and dirt setups, I have some 'u' anchors that I pound into the ground over the upright stands to keep it from being blown over. That has been easy cheap and effective for me. Good luck

They are to anchor it to the ground to prevent the wind from blowing it around.

We have some pretty high winds and ours is only anchored with four. So far it has not budged. I hope this has been helpful.

I used it on a concrete surface and it was ok (it has flat "feet"). The only issue is that if you are in a windy place you might need to put some weights on it.

I would not bother setting it up if the winds are high for it will pull it up from the ground. The strongest winds I personally tested mine in was about 15-20 mph. I wouldn't really recommend it though.

high winds? Yes, if it is anchored down. All structures should be cleared of to much snow, small amounts it will handle.

I plan to put a sand bag on the base just in case needed. We have had high winds and it never moved.

In regards to windy conditions, please see my 2013 review by CWH on Amazon. I haven't used this item during any windy conditions. I do not feel comfortable that it would sustain heavy winds. As for securing the umbrella in the sand, I don't think the stakes that come with the umbrella will suffice.

I do not have high winds in my area however it is a mesh type fabric and the air passes through readily. It does not move much here.
