Want to install over an outdoor clock. It's on the west wall, which receives plenty of wind. Will they hold up??

So far so good. Live out in the hill country, plenty of winds. 3 months in and zero issues.

Yes. We bought these as a temporary solution until we could afford nicer ones. No need. These will last through anything and look really nice.

It will do OK in wind. My previous one was anchored to the ground by burying the feet and held up OK in 70 MPH gusts. heavy snow can be a problem as they get older and the tarp starts to sag a little. I tend to go out with a broom and bump off the snow from the underside if we get more than an inch or so.

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.

I have not had mine move in high winds but you could also put a landscape fabric staple over the power lead where it leaves the fixture to make sure it does not move anywhere.

This is made of thin plastic. You could use it outside if it is secured well to a wall, but may be challenging if there is wind.

If you are trying to keep it from blowing in the wind anchoring it to cement blocks could work. The other day I did not have it anchored to anything and a good wind came through and it looked like a sail on a boat. I rolled it up. I do like it though. It is actually lightweight and built well. One end at the top of the curtain rod has a small round cap over the pin to protect it during shipment - you need to remove it --- I discovered it the hard way!

Hi we live in Portland Tx, Spring and Summer can be very windy here, 3 corners are anchored to the house and one on Post cemented and then anchor to a tree otherwise the post will bend, hardware used ( steel cable, turnbuckles, anchor mounts) bought at lowes... Haven"t had any issues so far, great shade cover.

The dowels that hold it up are made of wood and come in two parts - a top and a bottom. Although I don't think this is really made for outdoor use, I guess if you somehow secure the top part of the dowels permanently to the bottom part and then somehow attach something to the bottom of each dowel to secure it into the ground it "may" withstand some wind. Frankly, I don't think it would work. but that's just my opinion. Good luck!

Yes but you will need to secure it if there is much of a wind otherwise it will tip over which is what mine did and break.

I use them indoors right now, but I would think a strong wind would knock them over. Someone else suggested filling them with sand to keep them steady.

The slightest bit of wind would probably rip them down. They fell down/ripped quite easily for us and we used them indoors. They look nice, you just have to be careful with them.

I left two outside all winter. We had severe winds often. They are attached to my wood patio awning and a tree. No damage to the wood structure (built like a deck) however one of the shades tore at the corner. The other weathered everything and is still hanging.

Yes, fairly well. BTW: it will withstand wind a lot better if tie it down by taking separate ropes, and running over the top. The places where you supposed to tie the ropes on, will just pull holes in it when the wind blows. The screen doors don't last very well, wind or no.

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

I put three of these on the leeward side of low garden tunnels and have had no problems. The times when we have a lot of wind (recently to 35 mph) tend to be when the doors are closed but I think it's important to install them in a location where the wind isn't going to catch the door.

This house is heavy enough I don't think wind would be a problem unless the wind is really really strong. I guess u could put a couple of bricks under the "sink" or rig up a tie down like for a tent if u were really concerned

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.
