Is this for wind prevention or just anti-theft?

I would say both however it would not take much to cut the eye holes out from the bottom and steal it. So far after having 2 of them stolen I'm expecting the cutting of the next one.

Both, ie. with a lock provided, as well as rain protection and sun here on the beach.

Hi j - the cable lock is for anti-theft. Will not keep your cover on. I purchased covercraft's gust guard car cover retention kit for wind prevention and it works great! Hope this is helpful.

Mainly for wind. It is a deterrent for theft, but if someone really wants to steal something, they will find a way. It does keep it from blowing off in high winds.

i wanted it for both but cable is best for wind and the lock is a piece of crap, it broke apart first time i used it!

I would think it would be a problem. We get some wind in our area and it makes it difficult to view even when it's tied down secure. I usually wait to see if weather will allow me to setup. Hope this helps

hi...I believe it is for securing the bikes together once they are placed on the rack...we haven't used ours yet but think that is what it is for!

This is only for protection especially during Fall/winter for the AirCon. Take it off when AirCon is in use.

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!

Yes, I think it would make a good wind break. For me, the fact that it does impede the breeze is the only negative, we like the breeze, it is soooo hot here, but the privacy, and seeing a nicely blending green canvas rather than an ugly old fence, are the trade off, and worth it.

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.

Magnet isn't strong enough for that unless it's behind some sort of wind brake. I don't use mine on my vehicle though. It blew off my shipping container house in 45mph wind.

It is a heavy stand and should work OK for unspecified values of "normal" breezes. I would not presume to speculate about high-wind conditions.

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

If you only wanted it as a wind breaker... it should work fine. The cost is very reasonable, so why not try it.

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.

It will reduce your gas mileage it does create wind noise especially over 50mph. I use it for hauling camping gear locally. Enclosed cargo boxes are great when they're new but the locking mechanisms tend to go bad and you can lose everything in it if it pops open while on the interstate, I knew somebody that it happened to, that's why I went with the rack.

We have it to help move wind at our fishing camp and it does a great job.I don't know how it'd work for you.GOOD LUCK

How is it secured to resist wind? Guidelines? Weights? Do either come with it and if not where are they available?

Actually not to bad. It will not block wind from coming up under the hood though, but you should have a mask and safety glasses on to ward off any particles that find their way under the shield. I have used it while spraying and cutting outside in the wind and it has provided excellent protection.

It works great and is easy to set up. Just bring something like a cooler or something to keep it from blowing away with a big wind.
