High Wind Issues
So I was away this week and we had extremely unusual high winds. The winds were so strong it pulled the tent lip from under the cinder blocks and also wore down the cord attached to ground stakes I had on one side.
A neighbor attempted to secure it from further ripping and flying into another yard, but didn't do a great job. It was stuck on it's side for the remainder of the week. All in all it survived, but a little bummed as the weather cover tore in two corners.
Word of warning, make sure you have multiple points secured on each corner to your cinder blocks. Ground stakes are also not enough. We've had an extremely windy month, and it's survived so far without issue; this last bout of wind must have been so much stronger.

weigh down the skirt, stake the corners, and secure the tie downs. but yes, beware of any 40+mph wind gusts.
