It is a dug out cove of sorts so it can be less windy most times but with the wind in certain direction it gets very windy.Originally Posted by JAD

Different option.
My range has hella wind. I find that having heavy stands doesn't do dick; all stands must be staked, so it doesn't matter how heavy they are.
This is my favorite.

Another pvc stand user. This is a good how to video -- may be a little different design than the one above.
I made my first steel target stand out of scrap wood but I do not recommend doing so. The jacket shards embed into the wood and I had to be careful when picking it up or moving it.
For shooting steel, buy a portable steel base.
I make these. One 8' 2x4 for the base and whatever length 2x2 standards you want.

While more expensive, these work good for paper/cardboard targets using 1x2's and will also let you use their line of steel targets.

If you buy their Ready Ship Target, you get the steel and the base for $180 which is a pretty sweet deal.

I made a PVC one similar to the designs shown.
I glued the base frame together, and added threaded fittings for the uprights. makes it a bit more stable.
I decided to glue the base because it stays together better, and when using a pair of 8' 1.5" SCH40 PVC pipes cut into 2' segments, it fits perfectly in the back of any of my vehicles.
If i were in a more windy environment (i'm usually indoors) I'd fill the base segments with concrete before glue assembly, to make it heavier.
This is also an option. Comes with a steel target and hangar as well as the stand.

I have one of the PVC stands that I made and it works pretty well. Also easy to make.
Lately I've been using this one from Target Barn and I like it a lot:
