Anchoring Instructions
The canopy / carport is designed for temporary use. Once assembled the unit MUST be securely anchored to the ground
or a permanent structure to prevent damage from wind.
Medium to Severe winds will cause damage to the frame and it to twist, unanchored legs will fall and could cause
damage to the frame, cover, or surroundings causing the roof to collapse. If severe winds or weather is expected you
must remove the cover to prevent damage, otherwise the frame could fly away, or the cover to be ripped. A separate
anchoring system is recommended for purchase the included ground spikes and rope are NOT a secure method to
SOLELY anchor the frame.
