A:  We just had 40-50mph winds and the straps held w/o any problem.

A:  I am using it for the same purpose and it is working very well.

A:  These appear to be pretty heavy-duty. I've performed no wind testing, but assuming they are in nearly new condition when exposed to extreme conditions they should perform reasonably well. As you probably know, hurricane force winds have to power to remove roof-tops, and since these straps are fabricated using a fabric cord-weave you would need to consider the weight, shape and location of the object you are securing in order to estimate the strength of these straps under such severe weather conditions. The weakest link in the construction of these straps is likely to be the metal buckle.

A:  I see it a great fit to secure a variety of things on Patio including furniture.

A:  These straps are designed to keep the covers on an evaporator cooler in normal weather. They probably wouldn't hold in a hurricane. I wouldn't recommend these straps for holding down furniture. They wouldn't be strong enough.
