Yes, most mesh fences are built to withstand strong winds. The metal posts are inserted right into the concrete around the pool, holding them in place on those extra windy days. The mesh is also durable enough to handle wind, as well as some small children or pets leaning on them or trying to climb them, so they won’t tear easily. Of course, in a hurricane or other serious weather event, you may want to take down the fence to keep it from breaking as they may not handle such extreme conditions.
