how does this hold up to high wind?

Have only had winds around 25-30 mph and a fence protecting one side... but so far so good. I have had it set up for over a year and no problems.

I purchased t-posts to give stability to it. I also staked it down with large tent stakes rather than the little ones that it came with. Finally, I attached the plastic to the posts with zip ties rather than the Velcro that was included. For a few extra dollars, this has really withstood all sorts of horrible weather. It is in the middle of my field, no troubles at all! Very pleased. Actually ordering another one right now.

Not at all it didn't even last a month. Save your money and buy a better one.

i dont know if some people just arent meant to figure things out but ive had this greenhouse since last winter. thru rain wind and then 100+ deg weather and guess what.....its still there no rips in plastic never flew away because i staked it down and used the excess plastic at the bottom and lined it with bricks. simple. only thing about this green house that sucks is one the spacing is too far between for heavy rain it will droop but a few peices of rope along the top and problem solved. second is if the zipper gets dirty it will break. ive had a couple of these and no i zip them up and buy the sticker zippers. put it on the door like a sticker unzip and cut plastic. works perfect!! i dont know if some people just arent meant to figure things out but ive had this greenhouse since last winter. thru rain wind and then 100+ deg weather and guess what.....its still there no rips in plastic never flew away because i staked it down and used the excess plastic at the bottom and lined it with bricks. simple. only thing about this green house that sucks is one the spacing is too far between for heavy rain it will droop but a few peices of rope along the top and problem solved. second is if the zipper gets dirty it will break. ive had a couple of these and no i zip them up and... » Read More i dont know if some people just arent meant to figure things out but ive had this greenhouse since last winter. thru rain wind and then 100+ deg weather and guess what.....its still there no rips in plastic never flew away because i staked it down and used the excess plastic at the bottom and lined it with bricks. simple. only thing about this green house that sucks is one the spacing is too far between for heavy rain it will droop but a few peices of rope along the top and problem solved. second is if the zipper gets dirty it will break. ive had a couple of these and no i zip them up and buy the sticker zippers. put it on the door like a sticker unzip and cut plastic. works perfect!! « Show Less

I have it placed in my yard so it does not get direct wind. We have had wind gust up to plus 30 mph and have had no problems. I made 4 stake out of 3/8 x 2ft rebar and placed them on the corners with no tie downs. If you are going to place it in direct wind I would plan on getting bigger stakes and tie down line. The frame looks like it will hold up to high wind. Hope this answer your question.

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.

Hold up pretty good as long as you have it well grounded. I have mines in a corner were strong wind doesn't touch it too much.

I have had this unit on my back porch for three weeks and it withstood winds that blew a 12 foot plastic pool across my yard and tree limbs down from trees last week in Midlothian Virginia. I estimate winds around 25-30 miles per hour. Enough that my storm windows were slapping in the frames. The GH did not rip or blow apart. It is not anchored, it just has the weight of starter seed trays with mulch on the top and middle shelves. It is located on my back porch and one side is protected. Happy, Happy, Happy

I have not had any problems even in high winds. I just raked out the dirt a little deeper, pushed it in the ground and covered it with the remaining dirt. The bottom has two prongs formed like an H and it is very secure. I planted flowers around the base and it is just beautiful!

Yes, I currently live in a high wind area and have had no issues with it at all.

Mine has been up in some crazy Colorado winds and done just fine, but I have the sand bag weights attached to it or it would have blown away. This is my 2nd year having it up.

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.

I've only set it up once and it never experienced what I would call strong winds. It did perform admirably in the light breeze that night after I tied it down with the included rope and stakes.

It is not terribly sturdy. there are other alternatives. But then I have kep a 3-bike rack outdoors (not bolted) for the last 20 months, and it has survived 20-30 mph winds.

have left it outside all summer in all conditions, tied around two brick posts and one line drilled into a wood board, and have never seen any problem with the wind. however, that is in an area that is protected from wind by a two story building and brick walls, so that may not be a good test. it seems to be quite sturdy material.

Really not bad at all. The tent is extremely sturdy. I went through a massive summer FL thunderstorm and had absolutely NO issues with the tent's stability. I remember laughing as I looked out in the middle of the night to the canopy dancing wildly in the wind. I would be extremely confident using this tent in high winds.

As far as winds, it can handle up to 15 mph as long as it is attached to a fixed object like a fence. One thing I notice is that the sun really beats it up and there are holes all over the top of it after just two years of exposure.

No rust yet and if you anchor it down right it lasts thru most high winds love ours

I have had this cover for a little over a year now. We live in a high altitude area with lots of high, gusty winds. This cover has so far held up very well and we are pleased with it. I would recommond this cover.

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.

We have had a few good wind storms maybe 40+ mph and it has held up well no issues except the cover comes with little boots that you tie onto the gutter spouts before the cover goes on and one of them came off and caused a small hole. Most likely my fault. Just need to find a better way to tie on the boots. No complaints though.

We have used it for extended periods of time and it has held up well. I would take it down in the winter months , or if your expecting high winds.
