It should be safe and secure in strong winds as the water adhesion should hold it in place.

I do not think that is being blown in the pool and the edges of the cover pool protejen winds. My house is windy corner and goes and so far has never left me.

...it has a slight tendency to 'slide around a bit' in a strong wind, but it seems surface tension always kept it on the pool. If you wanted to, I suppose you could install a few grommets, and tie it off at the corners of the pool. It is a pretty decent cover, and it does work well, by the way....

I keep it outside and the cover works fine. It is tight enough so I don't have to worry about it blowing away. I would recommend getting it.

No problems here. More important to keep away from pool pumps and a/c noises. Wind.....unless hurricane status no problems.

Yes. It's the way you set it. It's very sensitive and a strong wind will set it off. Feel very safe having this in my pool

No. This cover just sits on top of the water and doesn't wrap over the side of the pool. It's really just bubble wrap so it would probably freeze to the water and get damaged if you left it out.

We just lay it on the water and let the extra fold back against the pool wall (pointing up or down, it doesn't seem to matter). We have had it on during windstorms and it hasn't been a problem at all.

Obviously, in a real severe wind, it MAY blow over, however: also very unlikely. The plastic is very durable and rugged so, to ensure that it wouldn't, I simply drilled a tiny hole in the bottom of it and put a couple coffee cans of sand in it, and duct taped the tiny hole. It's not going anywhere now, gauranteed ! : )

I don't think that it would blow away, its pretty heavy. I have it on a Gazebo (nothing under it) and I do not have it tied down. We have some pretty good winds here and it doesn't move.

We use ours on an interior porch that is not heated. It seems to stay warm enough but the opening on both sides may present issues with a continuous draft? I put a polartec blanket inside that partially covers back opening. It is lighter than wooden or heavy plastic houses so wind could be a factor as far as " blowing over". I would see this working in a semi protected area ( in an open port or garage or she'd, etc) . I am pleased with the house!

Yes, we do that at our house, but it will blow over in moderately high winds depending on the load. High surface area laundry (e.g. sheets) will tip it more easily.

If it's an outdoor pool it is perfect, especially when there's a breeze. Indoor pool you may get too warm.

We get a lot of wind and lots of strong wind gusts . We never put anything on the cover, and it has never blown off.

Mine has blown out several times on windy days, best to have some kind of wind blocker just to retain the heat if nothing else.

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

I live in North Texas so the temp is very different but with the sunny and warm days we only needed it on the pool for a couple of weeks. We are able to start swimming mid May using the cover the water temp will get up to 85. Our pool is pretty large and odd shaped so the top step / sun deck is not covered. If your pool does not have curves the results would be better. I am very happy with the quality it is cumbersome but that is not specific to this pool cover. I wish we could use a reel but it just won't work with our pool.

The cover does not secure very tightly. The straps at the bottom just come together at both ends and cause the cover to narrow a bit at the bottom. I have never had my cover blow off but it is also in a partially protected area on my patio.

I don't know about heat, but it will stand up to wind. We live at Catawba Island and it's super windy here and the last few weeks has been EXTREMELY windy....the cover is fine.
