How well does this block the wind? I live in Michigan and would like my back yard to be more comfortable when I take my little dog outside in winter.

New Mexico is windy but not that cold. Because this is on a 3 ft fence it only blocks below my chest so it doesn't as if the wind is blocked. It keeps the neighbor's trash, chickens & dogs out of our yard. It's well made & easy to put up with zipties

Hi Joan - I put this fence up because the neighbors converted their backyard to sand and stone and it took me almost 2 months to get the sand and stone out of my inground pool. I won't know how the fence works until I take the cover off next month. For the price I paid for 100 feet it looks great and was well worth it.

It works ok to block wind, it definitely makes it more comfortable outside. It also help with drifting snow and creates shade in the summer. We put ours up about 9 months ago and it has held up to hot sun, horrible wind, snow, and rain. I do recommend zip tying the screen in the center as well as where the gromits are. If you don't you will create a bit of a sail look.

Hi Joan, The fence seems to block the wind just fine. I live in Baltimore, it may be a little more windy where you live though. Good Luck, Patty

It can be drafty. The flap is adequate but not made for Mn winter or even windy days. Expect to lose heat, lots of it if windy. Best to close it at night and when you can let the pet out youself.

I see another person answered that the breeze goes through it because it is mesh. It is mesh, but very tightly woven mesh. It does break wind gusts. It does not block air flow 100%, but definitely would break gusts. If you want 100% air block, tarp would be probably work better, But I think I know what you are doing, and this would work fine for a garden. Tarp would work, too. Which is cheaper?

Is fine in our back yard with strong winds, have placed small bricks in corners, but have had no problems. It comes with small tent pegs, but I wouldn't trust them to strong winds. No cover for the front. Live in high desert, so rain hasn't been a problem.

I've used it outdoors, but it's very sensitive to wind. Keep away from trees, and not over pavement. Training kit recommended.

Will the drawstring help in windy areas from blowing off? Also, does it help prevent ice on windows? We don't live in snow area but can get pretty cold - maybe as cold as 35-40 degrees?

I'd agree with others. It depends on the ambient temperature of the air. I gave feedback in an earlier post but I'd say 5-7. also, I'll point out it does much better if there is no wind. It's not the best construction but it isn't overly expensive either. 4 of us stood around it on our deck at the lake telling a few stories and it worked. We were huddled though.

Yes it is very good protecting against wind, rain and snow. The seat is very sturdy for 2 children? We love it!

I use it for golfing. It is excellent forblocking the wind. I use it from about 32 degrees to low 50s. Any higher and I think you might get too warm.

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.

I would have to agree with Rock Ridge answer, I live in Oklahoma and no problems with the wind. My first season to have it up as well.

I have mine outside in the elements and it survived our Michigan winter with 50mph wind gusts and -20 temps. It will probably get me thru one more season. If you want a cover that lasts many seasons you will pay three times or more than what this cover costs.

I've personally had it down to -17F in Michigan and was toasty warm. I was in a tent with no wind blowing directly on me and the bag isn't like a weather proof shell or anything. Inside a tent though with a good cot or ground pad and you'll sleep like a baby.

This has worked good because it is not real thick, blocks the wind and rain. It holds up in washing in washing machine. Our temperature stays around 35 degrees in the winter, so it works out great!

I have mine under a covered porch so it doesn't get rained on. Unless you get some sealant to coat the top with, I don't think it would hold up too long in the rain/snow. It's fine in the sun, it lets fresh air through. It would probably be fine in windy conditions but it's light enough be be knocked over by a large dog unless it's backed up against a wall. Also, I'm in the pacific northwest so we have an abundance of rainy weather. If you're somewhere with tamer weather, it might be fine in the rain.

I live in MI too. We only bought it last year, but did keep it outside this last winter and it seems to be fine this year so far.
