how does it hold up in heavy wind?

VERY GOOD , I think I had it setup in about a 13 MPH wind , without the tie downs being used but honestly I was about to stake it down .... to make sure ...

The Coleman sports quite a lot of nylon stretched over a fairly light weight frame. A thunder storm last year with high wind gusts was enough to bend and break some of the steel supports, including one of the poles. I don't know for sure, but I expect any similarly designed shelter would fare the same. I would recommend staking the corner poles and adding the staked support lines off each corner of any of these devices.

I have had my original Coleman 13x13 for at least 6 years, and had it up in approximately 30 mph winds. I had staked it well, and it held up fine! I am convinced the canopy vent keeps it from flying away in the wind. I am purchasing my second canopy to cover the other half of my patio for a BBQ party.

The wind turbind is made to spin out of the wind when it get to strong like mine i put a rope from the tail and tie it to stay into the wind. But it should hold up.

I had lived in places with high wind in the past, so I would say any covers can get ripped depending to how strong the winds are. With that said I think this one has better chance of staying put, due to its material of construction and elastics at the bottom, also it has a vent which could move the air through it. It is better than any other ones I had in the past and I paid almost twice as much for those.

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 have been pleasantly surprised how well it holds up. We use ours on a deck that is located on the third floor. Ratchet straps are used to hold it down to permanent tie downs. It has taken some pretty heavy thunder storms and it has held up. The key is being able to tie it down tight. Just make sure it is really well tied down and it works great. (I should note that we do not use the side walls so adding that load may change the dynamics of the wind load).

Decent. It has held up all summer with no problems, but we haven't had a really windy day this summer.

We have been through winds and rain exceeding 50 mph. It did stay up but you need to have better stakes than what comes with the tent. So far we have been in 4 to 5 rain storms with little water in the tent.

We found our fence to block the wind effectively, even strong winds, it held up pretty well. I actually have no unfavorable comments, it's done well for the price. We looked at a company doing our privacy fence and got price of 250.00, with the same fence, paid a neighbor to put up for 25 bucks!

I luv it. Very sturdy.we get severe winds and it doesn't phase it. I also like how it has a extra piece to make the holder tsller if you want.

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.

I have not had it up in heavy wind. I'm no expert but I would think anything tent or umbrella like will not hold up well in heavy wind. A beach breeze is no problem though with both sides open for ventilation. Does that help?

So far this has been the strongest of 4 of them that we have owned. Happy with so far. Pretty sturdy. Just don't put it in the windiest part of your yard. We have ours on our patio and it is enduring most of the wind that we get pretty well.

I have mine on a chain link fence and have tie wraps securing the top and bottom. It holds up to the wind fairly well.

I used it three times last summer, and on one camping trip the winds were going about 20 mph. I had it staked tight to the ground, and had no problems. It moved a little in the wind but had no issues of anything ripping.

I have been in 2 thunderstorms with some winds and it has held up. I used the 4 corner stakes, 4 rope tie stakes provided which are attached, and I use an extra top tarp over the back of my truck where I sleep anchored with bungee cords to my roof rack and then anchored to front of Coleman Screen room with bungees for extra water protection. Without proper securing I'm sure it would fly in the wind as it is very light weight. I love this product but for camping long term and to endure all weather conditions which may arise I do secure it very well.

Not at the beach, but we've had it out in 100 degree, 45 mph winds for several days. Even slightly rained on, introduced to moisture. This bad boy holds up to A LOT. We love it. Very impressed.
