Sorry for the delayed response, I've been out of town. The poles flex a little in high wind gusts. I had the tarp shift and startle me in the middle of the night. It did move back out, but I was already awake. If you tie the bottom out wider this will not happen. I had it setup more like a tent then an A frame. (hope that makes sense.) The tarp kind of rolled so to speak and the cure for that is a different pitch or tie out the sides to keep them away from you. I like the tent structure that the poles give the tarp, so I take extra line to tie out the sides when necessary.
This tarp is no more difficult in the wind than any other large tarp. (smaller tarps are much easier.) I have found that putting the poles in as soon as you get it strung between the trees helps keep it under control a bit, but with 6 tie outs it is work to keep them under control.
Enjoy the new tarp. It should serve you well.
