I live in Oklahoma and need a cover for sun and wind. Is this cover pretty good for windy conditions?

Sorry Brian, I can't answer your question since we have been using the trailer and have not winterized and covered it yet.

It seems to do well in the wind due to vents installed along the length of the roofline on both side. Pretty impressive.

Well when we first put it on it worked great then not even two days later it was extremely windy and part of it actually ripped. I contacted customer service, sent them pictures and they shipped me a new one within a week. They said it must have been a fault. They stand behind their covers 100%. Although we haven't put the new one on yet ( we have been camping every other weekend ) I'm sure it will be fine. Sorry I wasn't that much help.

I would have to say, "NO".....our cover, in just two months of summer storage, ripped in several places where it was in contact with metal/hard surfaces,,,,,like the water drain/gutter. Unfortunately, not very durable. We had some thunderstorms, but nothing extreme.

We have had it on for about a month now. It has already torn on 1 corner. We have had a lot of wind so far this winter.

yes, but this cover is very light weight and if the grill is exposed to wind it will probably blow off which is my problem.

I suppose strong enough winds could rip any cover but short of hurricane force winds you should be fine with this one. It is not the el-cheapo, paper thin, poly type material, more like a light to mid-weight canvas with strong seams. Not only is the bottom hemmed with an adjustable cinch cord, there are also velcro straps to secure to all four corners for added insurance against wind. For the price, I've not seen any thing else of comparable quality. Very impressed!

I have had this cover for a little over a year now. We live in a high altitude area with lots of high, gusty winds. This cover has so far held up very well and we are pleased with it. I would recommond this cover.

I live in NY and my cover has held up well to all elements of weather. Not the same amount of sun you receive though.

We are on the Texas coast and its almost always windy here. Our shade sail is working just fine for us. We use it at our daycare playground and I'm very satisfied.

I have used it in breezy conditions (but not heavy winds) and it held up. However, the canopy is quite large and it catches the wind. It will be hard to manage in heavy winds. It is sturdier than most umbrellas sold today.

I also live in a windy area. I have a "Broan Nutone 636 roof cap with flap". I have not had any problems so far. Have been through a couple of storms and it has been fine.

I live in an area of England that has high winds and have never had the cover come off--I like it because it isn't heavy and really is secure--I have a VW Jetta.

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.

If you're expecting a good wind, yes. Best to tie it down. Overall a good product and we're very happy with ours.

I love my fan. It has stood up to a year of Oklahoma weather, but I've installed it under a roof. I don't know how it will do where it is exposed like under a pergola. Sorry.

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.

I found the wind to be less of a problem than the sun. After the first year the fabric became very fragile and ripped easily when the wind blew it. It ripped at corners, around air and vent units, and when I tried to pull it up on roof to fold it for storage. I believe the problem was the sun more than the wind, only lasted two years with patching and I had to throw it away.

If u take the 20 min at most 30 to set it up well then i have had no problems with highwind or bad rain. If u do have water running under the tent it will pull the heat out of your body without a good pad or blanket under you. And i havent set it up with the cover off in high wind. It may move a tiny bit but nothing to worry about.

2000 ford Ranger. Not the king cab, regular size. It's the best cover. Fairs well in wind, maybe could have something from front to back. We did reinforce plastic grommets they popped off, just sewed around them with dental floss. But it's a nice cover for the price. We live in az, keeps the sun and heat off. Last during monsoons

I live in Oklahoma where it is very hot and mine is doing very well. I do keep it in the shade. I was told not to let it be in the sun.
