Retreat from the wind

10/19/2017

Here in southern Alberta we are no strangers to wind. In fact, if you were to add a little moisture in the air some of our winds would be classed as hurricanes. Gladly, we don’t suffer that fate.
But nevertheless some of our winds can get "window rattling, car door busting" strong.
It is at these times you just want to retreat from the wind and enjoy some peace and quiet. As the video (link below) shows, during a wind with gusts to 100 km/hr the GeoStudio is completely unruffled. Two factors account for this. First, round structure has minimal direct contact against wind in any direction, the air just moves around it.

Second, the hardened interior foam increases structural strength by 200%! So no wonder, inside a GeoStudio one can feel safe and secure in the strongest of southern Alberta winds.
Check this video.
