When you rent the canopy, the supplier can advise you of weather restrictions. Depending on the style and type of canopy, it will likely withstand certain wind speeds and rains. Different canopies can withstand different types of weather; however, none can withstand very severe weather. If you plan to rent a canopy, make sure to ask whether or not the canopy has been waterproofed; whether or not it's insulated; and what the wind rating is for the stakes, posts and anchors that are supplied with the canopy.
