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 centre 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 8 cm (3 in.) of
anchor out of the ground.
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.
