Yes! It does a great job! We’ve had ours up in the foulest of weathers and it’s no stranger to gale-force winds in which it did us proud. The heavy-duty metal pegs anchored at 12 points and tensioned on one central pole makes for a very sturdy fixture that ain’t goin’ nowhere! (Ask other glawning owners too – don’t just take our word for it!) Of course, it is still just a humble tent so there are limits to the weather conditions it's able to withstand. Please exercise caution and in extreme wind it is advisable to take the glawning down to protect it from damage. Leave the extreme weather testing to us!
