Is this greenhouse sturdy enough to handle strong winds?

Hi, Not really. We had some strong winds in Elk Grove, CA. a couple of weeks ago and it was all over the backyard. My husband recently purchased some hooks to attach to the fence next time we get a gust of strong winds. For the price it is a good deal. Hope that helps. Amy

Eleanor, I got this for my mother. She has it up against the side of her house with heavy pots in it. She hasn't had any problems but it is in a somewhat sheltered area. We were both surprised with the quality of the greenhouse when we got it. We were not expecting much with the cost and packaging. My mom has been very pleased and it is serving its purpose for her.Hope this helps.

No. I use it for starting sets in a protectd space out of the wind and for that it works well and cost effective.

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.

It blows over rather easily. You'd have to weight down the bottom shelf, but keep in mind there's a definite limit to how much weight the shelves can hold. I have it protected on two sides by walls and when filled, I don't have an issue with winds.

Yes it is. We did anchor it down with a couple of bungee chords. Works great plants did very well. Started a lot of seedlings.

Nope. Not at all. I staked mine and a nice wind took it right out. It's completely destroyed and all the plants that were inside in shambles.

Not really. I always put something in front of it to keep it from falling over.

it will stand up to light wind, we add a couple of extra tie downs to it if it gets breezy and it works great. we use the four tent stakes that come with it and then add two cords, one on each side if it gets to wobbly with wind. it stays up great!

I was concerned about that myself when we purchased the shelter. We live on top of a mountain in the country and have had wind gust up to 50-60 mph this winter. We have had absolutely no problems with it. I did put it by a row of trees to help protect it and staked it down with additional re-bar and clamps. the canopy and structure have held up well.

We did not use our during the winter yet. We had it up in August and it survived some high winds from summer storms without any issues. I was impressed on how sturdy and easy to assemble it was for the price :) Hope this helps

Fantastic. You'll need weights or stakes to hold it down in windy conditions of course. But assuming its sufficiently held to the ground, the frame and fabric holds up well under some pretty strong winds. We take it for a week's camping trip every year as a extra shade area in what is essentially an unprotected open field. Using 10" stakes to hold it down, the canopy has been through some pretty severe storms. After about five years, we've replaced our old one, as the fabric does wear thin. (A little white duct tape fixes minor thin spots).

I've only had it about 2 weeks but did set it up in the backyard. It seems sturdy enough. Imounless a hurricane comes through I think it would hold up ok. The corners are galvanized.

6 plus feet of headroom inside ... will accomodate most people. I had planned on securing it but am finding the weight inserts for the legs to be enough ... even in some heavy, gusty winds. I don't know how heavy potted plants are but am guessing there shouldn't be a problem hanging some.

It comes with some stakes and unless it's extremely windy, it should be fine. It also has some tie down lines.

it is a pretty heavy stand and sturdy, we do get occaisional wind gusts during thunderstorms and even when up we don't have a problem but the patio is partially blocked from the wind from the house.........

No it will hold up very well. I live in a area that gets a lot of wind and it has never fell over. I leave it up out side for week. Great fence

I would say it would be ok if you secured the ropes well - not super windy, but it could handle some wind because the top has an opening.

I didnt Support it when I first got it and heavy wind it blew over but didnt break. After I mounted it to on one side and a bouganvillia grew up the other side its sturdy and secure. It's pretty thick so if your are mounting the bottom of the legs with or in concrete I would say yes no issue. Or if the fence thats in concete is being attached to the sides of th arbor.

Yes, it can handle strong wind. We loved ours in all weather. In fact, ours did well until the snows hit. We got a foot of snow and ours crumples like an accordion. It was about 10 months old. We were very sad to lose it.

It is sturdier than other umbrellas but don't expect it to withstand super heavy winds. It is like any other good quality umbrella.

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!

It tends to get windy here as long as you have it anchored down with all the doors and windows closed you should be fine. We had wind gusts over 40 mph with no issues.

I used it as removable windows for my Polaris Ranger; it seems pretty durable and I think it would be ok for a greenhouse.
