About the same as the narrow, has been my experience. We had 50 mph winds all day yesterday. If they are not pinned or weighted down sufficiently - they all will blow loose. The Remay that we use is 15' wide.

I wish that heavy row cover, like Typar, was made in narrower rolls, like 6' or 83", as the lighter stuff is. I like using that to cover rows of eggplant and other flea beetle sensitive crops. We haven't had a great deal of wind problems with that, as long as we use sufficient pins/stones to hold it down. I suspect the wider sheets would be more sail-like. Correct?_______________________________________________

It doesn't work well in Kansas. The wind blows from the north one day at 30 mph with gusts and blows from the North the next day with the same force. We make "U" shape pins made from #10 wire to pin down our 15' Remay. The #10 wire is purchased from a wholesale chain link fence supplier - it is the bottom reinforcement wire of the fence. The sides of the Remay has to be folded over it's self - so that there is a double thickness, with a pin placed about every 4'. 1/2" Re-bar also works well.ElzieWichtia, KS
