how's it do in heavy wind?

It did well. It comes with sand bags and they were easy to use to anchor it down along with the stakes!

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?

i didnt set it up. i bought it to use for my infant. it was too complicated to set up, so i sent it back and bought a pop up type.

I had no issues. I did buy extra stakes and used two to tie down the 2 ropes in front of the tent on the beach. I was VERY happy with the tent.

If it's really heavy, you may (1) struggle to get it assembled if by yourself, and (2) you will find that the 6 sandbags alone would not be sufficient to hold it down. We had a pretty heavy wind one day on the beach, that was blowing directly into the tent (not sideways, which probably would have been less of an issue). We had lots of stuff in the tent so it was OK, but one thing I did when returning home was to go to REI and pick up some nylon bags larger than the ones that come w/ the kit so I could have some 20 lb sandbags in the 4 corners next time around.

Pretty good depending on what type of wind, when its staked down it holds really well. There is also sand bags on each corner to add more weight if needed.

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 enjoy this in 5-7 mph winds. great response to input and I think it handles better than my mjx .

Ours lasted through one season of arts and crafts festivals. As to the wind, I don't know, we have not been in any high winds as of now.

I know what you mean, we used to live in North Carolina and the winds got bad out there. It is not heavy but not light either when I hold it in my hand. I stood up on a scale with it and it weights 5 1/2lbs. Id say it will stay put during regular winds. During bad winds like 40 mph, even our big swing was flying. I really like this crocodile and so do my boys - 4y and 19 m. When only one of them wants to use it, he sits in the middle, both of them on opposite sides, and when a friend comes over, all 3 of them have a seat. I would recommend it because it is not that big or heavy to put it away during high winds, it is very easily wiped clean, nowhere for spiders to make webs, and the handles are smooth, unlike other seesaws on which I red reviews for. The kids have it inside or outside as they please. If you want to, I would set it out front next time its quite windy, which is often on our hill by the ocean here in Hawaii, and Id let you know what it did.

No problem with light winds. Flies well with light gusts. I have had mine up in 5 mph winds and it handled it just fine.

I fly it outside all the time. I prefer no wind, but it can handle light to moderate breeze if you can.

We personally have never had any issues with ours. We recently had over 70 mile an hour winds an no problems.

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.

In low wind conditions it flys great. Kinda challenging if winds are higher than 5-8.my favorite.

More than likely it will blow off. We fastened with straps and so far it has made it threw 60 mph winds. Good luck

They're pretty heavy and sturdy, but I think a very high wind might tip it over.

Just make sure you anchor that baby down really well.. It can handle even 35 -40 mph winds!!!!

It is really lite weight. I don't think it would do well in wind. Maybe if you tied it down.

Hi , few days ago had some winds while I was doing BBQ so far no issues as of yet.

I've only set it up once and it never experienced what I would call strong winds. It did perform admirably in the light breeze that night after I tied it down with the included rope and stakes.

it's ok in light winds, but your need a wind break for higher wind condition.

we can have heavy winds where I live. I have had no problems with wind opening my gate. It works great after about 8 months. The only thing I need to do is make sure everything is tightened down (nuts and bolts) on a regular basis as it shares in the instructions.
