how is it anchored to the ground?

It comes with four twist in anchors that are placed at each corner and cabled to the shelter. They are similar to what you would twist into the ground for a dog's tie out. Shelter Logic calls these "temporary" anchors and recommends you buy better ones. I used the ones it came with and had no issues through this whole very bad winter. That said, you can buy better ones from Home Depot/Lowes, or online. If you have particularly soft soil I would definitely get better anchors.

It comes with a bracket to be screwed to something. So you could put a 4x4 post in the ground and attach it to that.

It is made to be mounted to something solid, it has 4 anchor bolts included with it. Either cement, a solid rock or maybe thick wood retaining wall. The base needs approx 9" across to anchor. It is made to be assembled in sections. This means you can have a height of abut 3'or 6', depending on your choice, very easy assembly. You would not put it in the ground unless you modified the brace and it would have to be in a hole filled with concrete to stabilize it.

My husband used cement to anchor it in the ground. It is a great buy and I am very glad that I bought it!

Ours was put directly on ground. There are metal supports to hold structure circular & shelving to put the 4 planter pots on. This weight of the planted pots holds ours down.

No it does not have to be anchored. We move it around to mow and to be in the shade in the heat of the summer. It is heavy to scoot very far.

There are special screw in stakes/anchors that can be purchased from King Canopy. They screw into the ground at each leg and secure the canopy.

It has u shaped anchors that can go into the grass, kinda like tent pegs would. We have used it without them though and it stays up just fine, as long as it's not extremely windy.

Quite simple. There are tethers in the front that tighten or loosen the anchors. And once tightened it stays in place.

It has holes on the bottom that can be secured to the floor or ground. It is heavy but does need to be secured to work properly.

It comes with heavy duty metal u-shaped stakes that anchor it securely into the ground. We have had some of the worst storms in decades and had no issues with it whatsoever. It's been solid. The only thing showing wear is the cloth canopy, which faded from the sun.

WE did not have to anchor it since after we put all our garden tools and equipment, it stabilized. Plus once put together it is really heavy unless you are expecting a tornado that even a truck can be toppled over.

Yes it is anchored. It actually leans towards the pitcher. It can't be knocked over unless there is a real strong wind.

Good question. Yes, it is anchored to the grass with 2 U shaped metal anchors that are about 5 inches in length. Once the pitch return is all assembled, you place it where you want it to be, and use a rubber mallet (or a hammer that has a wide face) to hammer the anchors into the ground. The anchors go around the short pipe between the net and the back of the frame, basically near the lower corners of the netting.

It is bungie corded to the frame. I used extra tent stakes and never had a problem with it staying secured.

We nailed it to a board and then put it in the ground and covered it with dirt to hold it in place, there should be holes on the bottom of the pole to latch it to something, this worked really well and keeps it from falling over.

It needs to be attached to the ground. So you can if you nail the corners down
