How does the lantern hold up in wind? Want to put on posts at entrance to driveway. Not much protection from wind

It will hold up just fine I left mine in all winter last year and the snow blower didn't even bother it The lantern is very well built

we have hung our lamps on the posts at front of our driveway gate and also hung two on our porch. all four of them have done very well in the wind and rain. this is also Oklahoma high winds. the only complaint I had was the re-chargeable batteries only last about two weeks. After I purchased some new re-chargeable batteries we have not had any issues at all. I would recommend them. they are light weight but for the price they are worth it.

I am not sure if you are just putting this up for an event or keeping it up for an extended period of time. If it is just for an event, then I would use sand bags tied to the bottom of each of the poles. I live in Vancouver, Wa near the Gorge and we get High winds about 4 to 5 times during the year, and my canopy is set up year round and acts as another room off my patio, and we have the canopy bolted to the house in several places on one side of the canopy and several steal stakes in the ground on the other side where we taped the poles to the stakes. It has servived 2 springs one summer, and a winter. I am very happy with this one, and over the years we have tried several other canopies. Hope the sand bag idea is helpful, dress them up if this is for an important event. 20 lbs per pole is my suggestion. GOOD-LUCK !!!!

Just staking it down completely (8 pounts around the perimeter) is pretty secure. If you're expecting really strong winds then you can add guylines from the top corners. The wind fastness ultimately depends on your stakes and the soil type.We camp at a beach on Lake Superior a couple times a summer and have had strong onshore winds (strong enough to rock our trailer) and this tent with the extra guylines had no problem staying up.

My landscapers did it for me - they got one that was slightly bigger than the stake that comes out of the lamp - that keeps it from tilting too much in there with the wind, etc, and I think they also put something in there to stabilize it. The benefit is that they could make the stake a lot longer that way, and it has really stabilized the lamp. They look great and they have stayed put during some big winds....

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

Absolutely not. Wind, rain, pretty much any element is an issue. I'm on my third one and my review is changing as I realize how few things it stands up to. It's perfect for what you are describing but if the wind is heavy you are in trouble. I have anchored it down but then came the rain and it caved in.

I only read reviews so didn't think about a warranty, so can't answer that part. About the winds: I live in SoCal, in a windy part (not USUALLY strong winds but sometimes it's more than just breezy.) My problem was, the opened umbrella blew AWAY b/c, even though I had it in a table AND in stand, I didn't have it anchored down, so the wind caught it and blew it into the next county...I guess, b/c I never found it! I ordered another one, and now keep it anchored down but I also keep it closed unless I'm using it. So, I know I'm still not answering your question as to how it will hold up in wind but I would recommend having it closed during that time (actually for ANY outside umbrella). This is NOT an expensive umbrella, so I would assume it would hold up to "some" wind, but not "strong" winds. No umbrella really can.

The cover is fine in the wind. You do need to secure the heater with the cover to something that will prevent it from falling over. I use my fence poll and a single string. Work well for me.

I have mine in a protected area from the wind. It is a corner of my 7' privacy fence. It is my opinion that this green house would not hold up in high winds in an open area.

I anchored mine down with heavy duty fence stakes from home depot and it withstands strong winds. The tiny stakes provided are laughable. The rest of the greenhouse is quite economical and functional.

This is nice looking and works for us, but I've only had it for a couple of months, during summer. It's light weight plastic. if it's empty it would blow around. You could fill it with sand or something but I don't know how well it would hold up thru a winter with snow, ice and wind. And has already been stated, this is made to hang, not sit on a post. I'm not sure how you would mount it. I'd suggest you look for something heavier and sturdier that's made to be mounted on top of a post.

Some wind can be withstood, but I put mine on a covered porch. That lessens exposure to wind, rain and sun. It is a nice set, but I doubt it will hold up if exposed regularly to the elements.

the fixture is weather resistant and secure in the wind. make sure the mounting box is secured to a sturdy structural member.

We have ours under our covered porch, which is like an outdoor room... I would go for it. It is a great lantern!!!

The fixture will hold up fine with wind and ice/rain if installed securely. It is a strait forward simple design. The shade is not deep so the bulb would be exposed to a driving rain. I use an indoor outdoor decorative bulb. Fixture is all metal, baring a direct hit from a wind driven projectile I expect this fixture to last indefinitely..

You really should be doing this in a wide open area...but to simply answer this question, AVOID THE WIND. If however you're doing it around trees and a house and there's wind, make sure you know which way the wind is blowing and how fast. You need to hold onto the lantern so that it really has some heat inside of it and it almost feels like its tugging out of your hands in order for it to get up and away nice and fast. If there is no wind, it will simply raise and be taken with the current of the wind once it gets over the trees, houses, building, etc.

It has a stake that goes into the ground. I have never left it up for a long period of time so I can't say of it would stay up in the wind
