How does it do in the wind with all those holes in the side?

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 have had my original Coleman 13x13 for at least 6 years, and had it up in approximately 30 mph winds. I had staked it well, and it held up fine! I am convinced the canopy vent keeps it from flying away in the wind. I am purchasing my second canopy to cover the other half of my patio for a BBQ party.

It depends. It will withstand up to 30 mph winds. Anything higher and it will blow away. I found that out when I put it up in my backyard. We had sustained wind of 30-35mph and gusts of up to 55 mph. I not only buried those tent spikes but put a couple of bricks to hold the tent down. Didn't help. Other than that, with a little wind, it seems to hold up. Just have to anchor it with some bricks or rocks on the inside. Hope that helps.

It would take a pretty big gust of wind for it to blow over! I love mine and it stays outside all summer long

I think it does pretty good. Strong winds are very tough to navigate but very mild winds are ok. Just have to put it in the more aggressive mode and more pitch to compensate.

It comes with some stakes and unless it's extremely windy, it should be fine. It also has some tie down lines.

I had it out on the beach at night and it did pretty well. Remember, it is essentially a giant sail, so you would do best to try to position it so the wind is hitting it at the sides and not straight against the back or front. There are stakes that go directly into the legs which help a ton with stability, and then ropes that go from the top corners into the ground. If the wind is particularly high, I would recommend putting another rope from the bottom corners into separate stakes to help keep it from twisting.

I found the wind to be less of a problem than the sun. After the first year the fabric became very fragile and ripped easily when the wind blew it. It ripped at corners, around air and vent units, and when I tried to pull it up on roof to fold it for storage. I believe the problem was the sun more than the wind, only lasted two years with patching and I had to throw it away.

Well I'm in Texas and we get a lot of wind. I used the anchors that screw in the ground. Same as a pet leash anchor. So far so good!!!!

it's heavy enough it's not likely to blow away, especially if you,attach the bottom on with screws.Ive never have one move in them wind with two of them sitting up against my house. it's. Very sturdy & Insulated too

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.

It will do OK in wind. My previous one was anchored to the ground by burying the feet and held up OK in 70 MPH gusts. heavy snow can be a problem as they get older and the tarp starts to sag a little. I tend to go out with a broom and bump off the snow from the underside if we get more than an inch or so.

I did not even use any sand, water or rocks with this board. It is heavy enough to withstand the wind. I never had it blow over even in storms. IF you want to use something, I would use fine sand and use a funnel to get it into the holes, but seriously it withstood lots of wind in N AZ just fine.

Holds up great to wind. We have it over a pergola. We have had a couple severe thunderstorms come through Virginia with no issues.

I fly it outside all the time. I prefer no wind, but it can handle light to moderate breeze if you can.

It is better than most in a light wind, gusting winds will flip it but normal light breezes it is fine.
