Staked-down and lowered, ours has been through some horrific storms, and survived. Ours came with zip-up sides, which allows us to use it in colder weather, with a heater inside. I bought one of the cheaper ones, set it up, and within 15 minutes of setting it up, a storm came up and blew it apart. 1/2 hour later, I was back at the store getting my money refunded.
