how much wind will it block?

I am using it to block view on a very sturdy chain link fence 6 feet tall. I installed heavy duty cable ties and pulled it tight. We have had wind no more than 15-20 mph and it blocks some but not all of the wind. It is a weave fabric and air can flow through.

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

As long as there's not a lot of traffic by the door. I use mine outside and had to be creative to keep it from going off every time the wind blew anything around it. Hope this helped :)

Probably fifty or sixty pounds. Unless you have a really bad windstorm, you shouldn't have to worry.

I have mine in a protected area from the wind. It is a corner of my 7' privacy fence. It is my opinion that this green house would not hold up in high winds in an open area.

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

It's impervious to the weather. If you use the clamps that are provided with it, there is no concern for the wind.

good. I made tent stakes out of 3/8 inch rebar 1 foot long, bending one end 90 degrees about 1 inch. and I tide it down,its gone through gust well over 45 miles per hour.

It may deflect some of the wind, most certainly bugs & rocks. I would check all the bolts on the hood hinges to insure they are tight.

I don't have it with me, but I'm thinking about 14 inches long. The handle sticks up a little bit when it's in my tote bag. I used it the other day for the first time and it can certainly handle the wind. However, it's definitely small when open - not a lot of coverage. My chest up was dry, but elbow down was wet.

I live in the NW- By Seattle,WA. We get high winds mostly spring and fall-winter. So far, My screen fence has withstood the current high winds- Mine is Doubled up for extra privacy- facing West- to East secured on my side of the chain link. Mine billows like a sail and so far handles wind just fine- Single layer Vs wind ? should work fine. Some sunlight will show thru. kinda sparkles in late afternoon sun. Hope this helps- I've only had mine a month + D.Durham

I would say about 75-80%. It's enough to make a huge difference. Make sure you have strong anchor points if it gets windy. Use rope to attach the sail to the anchor points, as the rope will absorb some of the energy in strong winds.

I don't think that it would blow away, its pretty heavy. I have it on a Gazebo (nothing under it) and I do not have it tied down. We have some pretty good winds here and it doesn't move.

Mine is under an Oak tree so it is protected some what. I have 4 30" auger anchors and 4 15" auger anchors securing mine down. In a strong wind it doesn't even wiggle.

Predicated upon the wind, I used 4-6 (8"X8"X16") concrete blocks on the cross arms. They are fragile so get them down quick if the wind picks up.

I have mine in a sheltered spot on my porch so can't answer to how it stands up to high wind but being round with feet on front and back and right on the ground I don't think it would blow over. Good little house but I would try to shelter it from the weather.

Hi there, I just had the first rains. It blocks the rain a bit when it pours, but it also dripped after the rain has passed. So no really a rain blocker, it is supposed to let water through to not rip. Did not have it in winter yet, but I am sure it will block some wind just from the nature of the sail.
