Will it be too windy at your site?
Pick the site and the structure. You get the Met Office gust forecast for the next seven days, day by day, against the structure's limit.
Starting figure: 26 mph, from council market rules for standard gazebos. Professional gazebos may be rated higher: use your manual.

How to read it
Each day shows the strongest gust forecast at the pin. Yellow means a gust is due within 5mph of the limit, amber means it reaches the limit and red means it passes it by 10mph or more. Gusts matter more than the average wind for temporary structures, because a single gust can lift a gazebo or a marquee wall.
This is a snapshot. Forecasts a week out change, which is why Gustline checks again every six hours and every hour in the last three days before the event, then tells you when a level changes.
Wind limits by structure
- Wind limits for gazebos and market stalls
No national wind limit exists for gazebos and market stalls. What council market policies say, with the gust figures and weights they set.
- Wind limits for marquees and tents
A marquee's wind limit comes from its design certificate, not a general figure. What MUTA guidance says about design wind load and wind management plans.
- Wind limits for inflatables and bouncy castles
HSE and PIPA say no inflatable should be used in winds or gusts above 24mph. What the rule means for bookings, how often to measure and where a forecast fits.
- Wind limits for stage roofs, screens and temporary structures
How wind limits work for stage roofs, screens and temporary structures: the IStructE design gust, why sheeted roofs differ and example action levels.
- Gusts or mean wind: which number to plan around
Forecasts give a mean wind speed and a gust speed. Why structure limits are gust limits, how load rises with the square of speed and what to compare.
