Is the tent sturdy. Like if it is windy does the top of the tent move back and forth?

Yes this tent is absolutely great in bad weather. There are 6 places where you can stake the tent into the ground and maybe 6 more places where you can tether the shell. So yes it will withstand the wind very well as well as the rain.

I'm not sure at this point. I'm sure it would a little but it does seem pretty sturdy.

I have the Hooligan 4-person and have used it during a heavy rain storm and it was fine. Wind gusts were probably 5-10 MPH

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.

It's extremely light weight, but provided there is enough weight in it, it will stay put.. I had it at Burning Man, where it was very windy, but, I had a lot of weight inside. It got very dusty inside, due to the extreme wind and dust (playa in the Black Rock Desert) but it held up. I had no problem with ripped seems. It would, in my opinion, make a decent, inexpensive kids tent. It's quite small, but perfect for 2 small people that like each other a lot, or children. It will not go back into the bag that it came with. That to me is also not an issue. I hope this helped.

The poles are made out of aluminum. You could drill holes if you wanted to. My husband says he would not recommend it in high wind by itself. We tied each side down with straps to water barrels and it held up great. It's a good tent but it doesn't come with anything to hold it down. You will need to purchase those materials seperatley.

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 depends. It will withstand up to 30 mph winds. Anything higher and it will blow away. I found that out when I put it up in my backyard. We had sustained wind of 30-35mph and gusts of up to 55 mph. I not only buried those tent spikes but put a couple of bricks to hold the tent down. Didn't help. Other than that, with a little wind, it seems to hold up. Just have to anchor it with some bricks or rocks on the inside. Hope that helps.

Hello, yes if it is really windy the canopy top could move a little bit. Please remember to keep the umbrella closed when not in use to prevent damage. Thank you.

Haven't used it outdoors. But based on experience I wouldn't expect it to remain stable in even the slightest breeze. Think one could blow on it and make it move

We used it at the beach and we did use the hold downs because it was very windy. The tent is very sturdy and one of our guys is a little over 6 ft and he didn't have to bend to get under it. We love this tent and everyone who has borrowed it from us really liked it too!

It's solid as a rock. I can't say enough about it - it's perfectly engineered and wow it can hold some weight! We have ours attached to a post on the gazebo and it gets some wind, but never had any sort of issues at all and we've had for 3 years now.

If you are in low wind conditions, the tent sits just fine by itself but it is a light tent that would easily be blown away in high-winds. I've used 550 cord or zip-ties on occasion to secure the tent to the cross-bars at both ends of the cot through the tent's grommets. The rain fly clips onto the tent at the corners and there are additional nylon loops on the rain fly for blustery days. I have rarely had to secure the tent though. My gear is usually enough to keep it in place. Hope this helps.

I don't know about strong winds, but I've been in 20 MPH winds and there was no problems with the top down. When I opened the top, there was no issue.

It will do OK in wind. My previous one was anchored to the ground by burying the feet and held up OK in 70 MPH gusts. heavy snow can be a problem as they get older and the tarp starts to sag a little. I tend to go out with a broom and bump off the snow from the underside if we get more than an inch or so.

No. This tent sits securely on its own. We've never used it during a storm or high winds, though.

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 luv it. Very sturdy.we get severe winds and it doesn't phase it. I also like how it has a extra piece to make the holder tsller if you want.

I use this tent for events at my home (parties, showers, etc). It has held up to rain and wind, however, I have not left it up for extended periods of time. Hope that helps.

We aren't really sure how sturdy the tent is when windy due to the fact that since we could never figure out how to fold it up after the first time it popped open we don't use it for the purpose for which we purchased. However, this is a light nylon open tent. I would not want to be in a wind storm with this item. The nylon flooring is part of the tent so based on the weight on the floor it would probably be somewhat stable. I really like the tent and it would have worked well for keeping a baby out of the sun during soccer games. I think it would also be okay for a day at the beach.
