can this be set up on cement? My backyard patio is only cement and needed a canopy like this. Please let me know. Thanks

You will definitely need some way of securing the 4 legs/corners of the canopy. I have mine on my deck and 3 of the 4 legs are secured to the spindles of the deck rail - and it has held up to torrential rains and heavy winds without any problems at all. But you will definitely need to have it secured somehow, either at the base of each leg or by the tie-downs at the four corners.

I would agree with Tina L. On the grass the legs tend to settle into the ground, do not slide and I would consider it safe, but unless there is a way to anchor it to the cement, I would not recommend it.

I installed the gazebo with my son yesterday on a cement patio. I don't want to make holes in the patio to bolt it down. Any suggestions how to secure it so that a strong wind won't take it away? Thank you.

It is made for sand as we'll soil I would not put cement because it gets its tautness from the polls bending in unless you're going to put something in the cement on an angle the way this is supposed to be installed

The shade/screen tent works great. It has tie downs that are optional depending on the wind. Since the tie downs are twine/rope, you can drill or put stakes between your pavers. For more shade, you can get shade panels. The only negative I have found, is the very fine mesh blocks slow breezes as well as gnats. If you only need shade, find another solution. If you want to keep bugs out, this will do it.

I anchored it to the ground with quick setting cement on the four posts. I have had it up for 3 years with 2 clematis vines growing on it with no problems.

That sun wall is not designed to fit this canopy, but you certainly could try using some paracord to rig it up. I would recommend just using a tarp to cover one or two sides to protect from sun and rain. I have a 16 x 16 tarp that works perfectly for this if I need it.

I didn't install canopy as the swing is on covered porch. But my answer is it is not easily removable.

It should be fine on pavement, BUT it would definitely behoove you - especially if you're settling-up in, "windy conditions" - to put some weights on the bottoms of the legs of the canopy. As far as assembly goes, "in theory", you should be able to assemble/erect this canopy single handedly, but I'd recommend utilizing at least a two person team to do it - THREE would be even better. Assembling by one's self can take anywhere from approximately 10 to 20 minutes; 2-3 people, 5-10 minutes.

It is your option to install your own shade or canopy. But I dont think they sell canopy for this type of item. As for my BZS.. we just place it beside a tree or under the tree to gain shade. just like Jeremy Y said. You can put a tarp on it, its up to you.

No a bucket of cement would not work. It is too wide on the top and would fall over and be too tall.

I don't see any reason not to set it on concrete except the depth of the plant roots you will be planting. If the are no longer than the shallowest portion (about 8-10 inches) you should be just fine. Maybe even better as I find some of our weeds in SE Tx, even find a way through black plastic!

I am sorry--in seeing your question further, I think it depends on how big a hole is in the cement umbrella stand. It need to have a good solid footing and a deep hole is needed.

I am sure you could make a base (floor) to set it on and build on top of that. We used a gravel pad to build it on. A screen porch would be a nice addition using another set of framing brackets could make it easier. Good luck.

Our awning came with instructions for mounting on cement. Most homes in the U.S. are not cement. We bought bolts for the wood frame and re-enforced with another 2" board. It hung with ease - a 2 person job. This is the 2nd summer to use our awning. Other than the fact that the fabric faded quickly, the awning has been useful and easy to operate. Unlike Sunsetter or better brands many parts are plastic and require more delicate handling.

Yes, it can be set up like a normal umbrella, but I would recommend using the pair of cords that it comes with to attach to stakes in the ground. For the size of this, I don't believe it would be steady enough to safely skip using them.

I have it on a cement patio. I would want to put it on maybe some cement landscape blocks 16 X 16 X 2 to dissipate any heat on a wood deck.
