If you search youtube one of the long term videos says it's gone through
40mph winds with their enclosed model. An open ended one like mine would
fare worse in high winds. I'll defer to your wisdom on your weather and
what works for y'all because I'm sure if they worked you'd have them.

For 90 bucks they are are still a great temporary structure. The tarp
material appears to be higher quality that the "silver" tarps.
