This thing is awesome for the price, it sustained 3 whole days of 70 mile hour sustained Wyoming winds, I had to reinforce it on day 4 at one cross bar section after that, but good grief that's impressive! I decided to reinforce all sections with heavy zip ties and posts and its done just fine through literally 5 or more wind storms just like that. Wyoming wind is annoying, but this has held up and with modifications, its unstoppable!
