How do you anchor this casita to a patio

We used screws on each panel through the metal into our deck, then we used metal rope with tighteners like they use for clothes lines in the corners inside and out. I tried to purchase just their anchoring kit from the company direct but the woman would not sell it to me because we didn't buy from them directly. Amazon was almost two hundred dollars cheaper to order and I got free shipping with my PRIME membership. The company charges 140.oo to ship! LOVE AMAZON.

In the instructions it tells you where to order the brackets. We ordered them for $30 and they were delivered in a few days. I think the company is Kay. I hope this helps

We placed a flag pole at the end of the patio to anchor it high above the patio level with the house where we anchored it on the roof. You can fly a flag on the pole and have the awning anchored, too.

There are eyelets on the sides to hang it from something like a tree if you want to raise it up off the ground. I usually hang mine tied to a fence in my back yard a couple feet off the ground that usually works just fine.

In addition to the feet mentioned by another suggestion, each corner of the canvas top has a loop to tie a rope on and attach to a stake. Also, if you are going on the cheap, purchase 5 gallon plastic buckets (Lowe's, etc) to fill with sand, gravel or water if you can't stake the ropes. Amazon has sand bags and other items designed to hold the canopy down in a windy situation. Lots of choices!

I used a couple of sheetrock wall anchors. Use the base to mark your holes, drill a small hole in the wall, insert the anchor and screw the base to the wall. Piece of cake!

Yes, that is the best way to set it up. I put mine on a slab. There are anchor plates provided to secure it to a deck.AL

I am having the same problem. I plan to anchor it by placing a roped Brick O block to each corner post and lay one block on each side and back to prevent wind from getting under it. I have not tried it , but plan to.Please let me know of any ideas you get from others

The umbrella bottom doesn't really need to be pointed but you'll want one like that to help get it in the sand. As for patio umbrella, I'm pretty sure those are pretty heavy and a lot wider on the top so it might not be able to hold it up. You could try their umbrella: http://www.ostrichchair.com/ostrich-products/ostrich-7ft-beach-umbrella.htmlI use this shade anchor all the time with large beach umbrellas and when I see other umbrellas being tossed around in the wind I'm always sitting pretty under my anchored-in shade bag. Love it. Good luck!

I had a person do it for me.He used toggle bolts and synthetic rope.and secured it at the four corners from the house to the garage. He had to re tie it three times as it sagged alot in the rain and wind.

The base of each side has a crossbar to stabilize the width. Below that are "rods" about 4 inches in length that penetrate the soil, if you call that an anchor. Here in Arizona our ground is very hard and once we dug the holes, refilled the dirt around the rods and watered the ground to compact it, it was very stable. Then the plant we draped over the arbor was mature and we secured it to the top of the arbor. If you are in an area where your soil is soft then I would probably cement the rods below ground level as an anchor.

Hi Clive,I apologize for missing your message for a year.I apologize for missing your message for almost a year. I used some large orange tent stakes from Lowe's to anchor it. I also used a sharpie to mark where the pipes for the frame fit together to help put it together from year to year. I hope you are enjoying your garden.Pete

It has provisions to bolt it to the ground. It comes with 4 concrete anchors. I have it bolted with 4 bolts to a concrete patio. I just removed it for storage in the winter. Very easy to do.The base has 4 holes.

No there was no way to anchor it. We were very disappointed with this product so it was returned. Also the bottom was much thinner than was advertised and did not give much sun protection.

If you buy this, and we're very glad we did, look at the last page of the manual where it talks about attaching the anchors. Gotta do this early on after the frame is together or you'll have a tough time later.

I have seen people do that before. I think you just need to be ABSOLUTELY sure about the strength of whatever you're anchoring it to. It doesn't take up a lot of space so other than hanging/safety techniques it's a cinch. I hope that sufficiently answers your question.

Drill a hole with a concrete drill bit. Place a plastic anchor in the hole. I used one sold for sheet rock use and tapped it into the hole. I made sure the size of the anchor fit with the screws that came with the shade. Works really well.

I would dig out the area you want to put it in, removing any rocks, and place the legs in the hole. Then fill it in with bagged dirt, wetting the area down as you go along to insure settlement of the dirt, almost like planting a shrub. Ours is really sturdy and with the winds we have experienced this past summer, it never fell over, and it has a very big clematis growing on it at present. It is really sturdy.
