high-sided
With raised sides
High-sided describes something with tall sides relative to its overall dimensions.
A high-sided vehicle like a van or truck presents a large vertical surface area that catches wind, making it vulnerable to tipping in gusty conditions.
High-sided vehicles should avoid the bridge during the storm warning.
The term also applies to cookware, containers, or boats where elevated sides serve to contain contents or keep water out.
