What is the wind and rain resistance of the 10 x 10 Palm Springs in white. How is it fixed to the ground

The tent is not fixed to the ground. You will need to purchase or make tent weights. I made mine out of PVC pipes and sand and tied them vertically to each post. Last week I used my tent for vending a flea market and it rained hard all day. It did not keep the rain completely out. Items kept along the sides were most exposed and wet. But in general, the tent provided decent coverage and shelter considering the severity of the weather.

There is no rain resistances. I found that out to late when it rained. I went back and read descprition and it does say that. It has small metal stacks you hammer into ground but I have felt with enough tents in wind that you always use some kind of weights. It is a nice set up so I was disappointed in it not being water resistance.

It has several tie down cords for the corners and grounding stakes. I have had mine in 20-30 mph wind gust with no real problems.

It did fine in the wind. We had one day with strong winds that would make the tent bend a bit but it never pulled loose from the stakes in the ground. We didn't even used the sandbags.

I live in the Sacramento valley in California. It gets pretty windy here at times. So far so good. It is holding up pretty good

Not sure what the wind bars are. If you provide a picture, I may be able to assist.

It moves with the wind. We had to secure the base with heavy tiles and close the umbrella on windy days.

I've used it at Pismo Beach and it holds up well. That being said there have been times it was soo windy I didn't put it up, same as I didn't use my awning either. The wind was blowing so hard that it felt like the awning would rip off. So if it feels to windy for the awning you might want to error on the side of cation and not put up the room. Hope that made sense :)

We have a standard 18"x18" base that is about 20 lbs and in NE, it did not stop the umbrella from falling in the NE wind. We are going to look at other options this summer such as a higher support, larger base, or finding a way to add weight to the base.

Underneath is a little cross bar I guess you could put sandbags on it to keep it from flying away in a high wind area

Absolutely not. Wind, rain, pretty much any element is an issue. I'm on my third one and my review is changing as I realize how few things it stands up to. It's perfect for what you are describing but if the wind is heavy you are in trouble. I have anchored it down but then came the rain and it caved in.

Highly recommended. We took it to burning man last year.. In addition to the heavy winds, sand storms and extreme heat, it stood up pretty good in the rain one evening. I would recommend using commercial grade stakes to keep it bolted to the ground. The ones that are included are to flimsy.. Just my 2 cents..

I have had table on windy patio in Beaumont, CA for several months. So far, no problem.Enjoy. I do bring umbrella in house when high winds or rain occour.

For high winds you'll want different pegs (10-12") and additional support lines (there are enough places for you to tie on to on the fly sheet), but I would expect it to hold up fine. I was stuck in a light to moderate windy downpour, and stayed dry.

Hi, I cannot comment on the snow aspect [especially living in Florida] but it stands up pretty gusty winds. This actually is our 2nd King canopy,the 1st one was 10ft x12ft and it lasted 4 yrs,till the canopy gave out,not bad in our heat sun & wind.This new one is 10ft x 12ft and has a 6 pole system instead of 4,they are well made and easy to erect,we may actually buy a spare canopy $49 dollars,good to have as a spare. Hope this has been of help. Ann & Ken Owen. Florida.

I would say it's heavy enough to not blow over. I use it down at the beach, which can be windy, and it works fine on my porch. It's also very stable. I'm not great at figuring weights, but I would think it weighs more than 10 lbs.

How is it secured to resist wind? Guidelines? Weights? Do either come with it and if not where are they available?
