Air seconds base XL in high wind??

[thehorse]

been using the excellent air seconds base XL shelter/awning from decathlon for a while now. Just wondered has anyone used in high winds, it’s blowing around quite a lot in the current 25mph wind, but tomorrow is forecasting 40mph+ and I’ve always thought it was a bit light on guy ropes.

I like lots of things about ours but I don’t think it’s built for strong wind and I wouldn’t leave it out in 40mph. It could buckle the inner poles and take off. Then again I’ve never tried it, but I think others have had problems.

Have look at this https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/quechua-air-seconds-base-xl-shelter-is-made-for-vw.15616/page-4
A few posts regarding rain and wind.
I think the conclusion was they don't like strong winds.
