This greenhouse is amazingly strong! The frame is tough and can support snow without a problem. Because the roof is rounded, most snow will slide off on its own. Provided that the greenhouse is properly tied down (which you should do with any greenhouse), this greenhouse won’t have a problem with wind. These greenhouses have even made it through hurricanes! This greenhouse differs from other Solexx greenhouses because it does not have the same built-in bench frames.

Answer: Much depends on the location and what sort of wind velocity your region can get. We do know from customers that the units have withstood wind gusts of up to 80 mph winds without damage. Even in very bad windstorms, the worst that can happen to your greenhouse is that some of the polycarbonate panels are blown out which are very easy to replace. (Hint-mark your panels so that, if this should happen, you know which way they go back on the greenhouse with the UV coated side facing outwards.

Answer: With standard 2"x4" rafters the snow load is 30lbs. With optional 2"x6" rafters the snow load is increased to 50lbs. The wind load with standard 25 year asphalt shingles is 60 mph, with 30 year shingles - 90 mph, and metal roof - 110 mph.

Ans.: Our systems are the only ones that have a static report and withstand 20 cm of snow and 100 Kg/m2 wind charge, without the use of supportive poles.

While no specific load ratings are available, this style of dome roof has been manufactured for more than 50 years. Hundreds of domes have been installed in heavy snow country, such as upper Minnesota and Quebec. In high wind areas, we recommend and have available inconspicuous wind reinforcing rings.

was the driest year of the three previous runnings, and there were short snowbanks to cross over most of the major passes, with a substantial amount (thigh deep) below Virginus Pass. In '95 almost the entire course was under snow, and the run was cancelled because of it. Expect anything in between. We'll post periodic snow reports here, as the season progresses. You can also check them yourself. There are unseasonable bare spots on the peaks above Silverton.

Palkar is designed to withstand normal wind load. The amount of load is dependent on the installation of the posts and horizontal rails. If installed according to Palkar's specifications the fences will stand up to 60 mph wind load.

Yes. The Path Pro has been tested in winds up to 50 MPH. Due to its unique pyramid style, weighted base, it's designed to work well even in the wind. However, it's never recommended to practice in extremely high winds. No. The design of the pyramid style, weighted base makes it unnecessary to stake down in any way. As a result, it can be easily moved from spot to spot as your divots increase.

The Blue Link 480 is designed to last in the elements. Snow and ice will melt off, but if you are impatient you can brush it off yourself. If wind is a concern, the Blue Link 480 is certified to withstand the 150 mph wind requirements of Miami-Dade county when mounted to a simple 1 yard concrete pad.

This will vary. Please contact us for any special requirements you may have. With most of our products we are able to meet any wind or snow loads required.

The optimum 45 degree roof slope sheds snow in the winter, and can withstand a snow load of 18 pounds per square foot.

Your wind turbine will have to be positioned well away from obstructions like buildings ,trees etc. for these can cause turbulance. In general it should be twice the height of any obstructions . The best sites are on bare hills. They have to be at least 50maway from the nearest neighbours.

Vinyl fences are designed to withstand normal wind load. The amount of load is dependent on the installation of the posts and horizontal rails. If installed according to Homestead's specifications, the fences are desinged to stand up to normal wind load. [Return] It is normal for vinyl materials to expand and contract during temperature changes. Your contractor will allow for expansion and contraction during the installation process. [Return]

Vinyl Craft fences are designed to withstand normal windload. We have certified structural engineering showing the fence will withstand 90 mph winds, and wind tunnel tests to 110 mph, without any internal post support. Greater windload resistance can be easily accomplished using internal supports. with most PVC products, vinyl will become less flexible in colder weather conditions. However, unless subjected to unusual impact, it will not break or crack.

Yes. For example, a 10-megawatt wind farm in Victoria would displace about 40,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, according to the Victoria's Sustainable Energy Authority. That is equivalent to taking 9200 cars off the road. At the same time this wind farm would supply enough energy for 5700 average households. The exact quantity of greenhouse emissions prevented by wind farms would vary from place to place, because it depends on the energy used in a given area.
