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
as seen in Diagram A. 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. Run cable around the pipe, (See
Diagram B) and then back through the clamp as seen
in Diagram C. Pull the cable as tight as possible through
the clamp. Hold the cable and tighten clamp with a 5/8
inch wrench or some type of 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 D.
