Is this unbrella easily blown over by wind & is it easy to collapse quickly if needed?

I am sorry to say that it blew inside out just yesterday and the mechanism that keeps the umbrella open broke making it useless and not repairable. We have had the umbrella for over a year and have been quite satisfied until yesterday. To me, the mechanism that allows strong gusts of air to blew through the canopy failed to do its job. All this said I may just simply order another one because we had been so satisfied.

It is a stable umbrella and can be cranked down easily and quickly. We have 2 on picknick tables on lake side. Our tables are heavy and the umbrellas are built well.

It collapses very quickly if needed. I don't know about it blowing over by wind because the one I have fits down in the opening in the middle of my outdoor table into the medal umbrella stand.

Very easy! Like a small child's float or raft. Can easily be blown up by mouth!

It can be quickly and easily taken down and put up again which is one of my favorite things about it. My son adores it. We used it all summer and I took it down every night so it wouldn't be exposed to rain and the damp grass in the mornings. I use a tarp underneath it to protect the fabric. Love this product.

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.

No. This tent sits securely on its own. We've never used it during a storm or high winds, though.

Yes it's extremely easy to set up and collapse. It literally just opens in seconds and folds back closed. I love it for my 3 year old!

Do you mean heavy? I would say no, for what it is it is very mobile. But it won't blow over easily, if it's empty.Do you mean cheesy? Definately not! It is rugged and wonderful for all terrain. spacious. Folds easily. I love it

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.

I do not think this will stand up to high winds(not sure what high winds constitutes), it can take 40-50 mile winds with no issues as long as it is secured to the ground. Above that I think if anything major like hurricanes or strong storms are coming through you`d have to take of the roofing panels if you don`t want it to get damage. The gazebo is somewhat mediocre(the screws strip out very easily) but it is durable and a great price. There is no snow where I live(there never will be#southeasttexas) but I think it would be fine.

Yes it is as easy to fold as a lawn chair. Not a problem to fold or unfold!

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.

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.

Not difficult at all to set up, if it's not windy at all you can literally just plug it in and let it blow up. I recommend staking it though, even if there is no wind. The rope knots that go through the stakes can be tricky, but not hard once you get the hang of it. I have used mine countless times (weather permitting) and it has been great, set up and take down time is about 15 mins. To a half an hour, depending on how anal you are about organizing and putting it away. I also recommend folding up the screen first and putting that in the bag before the actual inflatable frame. Hope this helps!

No. It is shipped with a disposable protective covering of thin plastic, but not a true durable cover. As to the question of it being blown down in the closed position, we have the bottom of it secured with a small bungie cord and it has endured very strong Arizona winds without being blown down.

It's easy. There are only two long poles and they fold up easily. Takes less than 5 minutes to put up or take down.

Yes, it was easy to blow up without losing air. Nice bed, I am going to buy another one.

Probably not rugged enough and it lacks a base so it would likely blow away in any wind. Would not recommend.
