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.
Step 1
Measure out at least 36in from each leg. Screw each anchor into the ground leaving 2in between the ground
and the eye of each anchor. We strongly recommend that your unit be anchored 36in from each leg
although this may not be possible in all cases. DO install anchors as close to 36in away from legs as possible.
Step 2
Tie anchor cable or rope around the connector at the top of each leg of the canopy.
Step 3
Securely tie the other end of the cable or rope through the eye of the anchor and pull tight.
Step 4
Now, continue to screw each anchor into the ground until the eye of the anchor is flush with the ground. This
will secure the anchor rope even tighter.
NOTE: You should check and tighten the rope frequently to ensure maximum stability of your canopy and to
protect against wind damage.
