what about heavy wind?

The secret is in the tension given to the sail shade,so it doesn't flap in the wind.

So far it has with stood the winds we have in Fl. If we suspect sustained winds of more than 40 mph we would take it down.

I used turnbuckles first, had a heavy wind and they twisted off, so went to heavy weight rope and fastened it down with redundant systems and it thus far has sailed through the winds. I am planning to take it down for our winter season and store it until next summer.

They're pretty heavy and sturdy, but I think a very high wind might tip it over.

It can handle pretty strong wind but I wouldn't fly it on a day with 20+ mph wind.

it's ok in light winds, but your need a wind break for higher wind condition.

I don't think so. It's very light and would likely fall whenever the wind blew to hard.

As long as they aren't too awfully big I don't see a problem. We are out in the middle of nowhere so these things aren't a problem for us. We do have lots of strong winds and it seems to be doing OK with that. Looks great too. Good luck.

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.

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

Hi: I recently bought this GREAT item and it comes with 4 long heavy metal stakes to put in the ground. I am im the mountains and we occassionally get high wind. The windmill has stayed in the ground. This could also be placed in concrete. This is a wonderful item and I felt the price was great compared to others that were not as sturdy made.

We have strong winds here in Ct also and it has never blown over. We filled the base with sand and it makes it quite heavy. I need my husband to help me move it. This This is the best birdfeeder I've ever had. Would recommend it to anyone.

You want to make sure that it is tight. It will wave in the wind but the tighter it is the better it can handle it. Mine has gone through numerous storms and done well in all of them.

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.

Well, depends on what you mean by wind. Normal wind, sure. Gale force, no. What table would?

I know what you mean, we used to live in North Carolina and the winds got bad out there. It is not heavy but not light either when I hold it in my hand. I stood up on a scale with it and it weights 5 1/2lbs. Id say it will stay put during regular winds. During bad winds like 40 mph, even our big swing was flying. I really like this crocodile and so do my boys - 4y and 19 m. When only one of them wants to use it, he sits in the middle, both of them on opposite sides, and when a friend comes over, all 3 of them have a seat. I would recommend it because it is not that big or heavy to put it away during high winds, it is very easily wiped clean, nowhere for spiders to make webs, and the handles are smooth, unlike other seesaws on which I red reviews for. The kids have it inside or outside as they please. If you want to, I would set it out front next time its quite windy, which is often on our hill by the ocean here in Hawaii, and Id let you know what it did.

Ours lasted through one season of arts and crafts festivals. As to the wind, I don't know, we have not been in any high winds as of now.
