ANCHORING YOUR UNIT
This canopy is designed for use as a temporary structure. After assembly, the canopy MUST BE securely
anchored to the ground to prevent damage from winds. Your canopy will act like a kite in the wind if not
properly and securely anchored to the ground. Severe winds will cause the frame to twist and unanchored
legs will fall, thereby collapsing the canopy. If severe winds are expected, you must remove the cover from
the frame to prevent damage.
We recommend anchoring your canopy at each corner foot
and center foot on each side. Screw anchor into ground next
to canopy foot using a large screw driver (1). Looping the
cable through the anchor eye will keep it out of the way while
turning. Tilting the anchor slightly will help the anchor to cut
into the ground. Apply downward pressure while turning the
anchor into the ground. Leave approximately three inches of
anchor out of the ground.
Unloop the cable from the anchor eye and slide the clamp onto
cable (2). Run cable around the pipe, and then back through
the clamp. Pull the cable as tight as possible through the
clamp. Hold the cable and tighten clamp with an adjustable
wrench.
When you have tightened the clamp and satisfied that the
cable will not slip, you may tighten the cable more by turning
the anchor further in the ground as seen in Diagram (1).
