Does it have to be bolted down on a paver patio and if so how

No it does not. If you bolt it to concrete you will need a big drill with a concrete drill bit with concrete screws/fasteners

There are no predrilled holes to bolt it down, but it can be done. It comes with a piece that lets you use it without the cable.

Yes, it can be fastened down. If you are putting it on a wooden deck or porch, it can be screwed down, or you could simply bolt it to a board or a steel plate.

I have a patio in my back yard. I nailed a cross beam between two long parallel beams that hold patio roof. With chain or heavy duty rope, I tied the punching bag and hook over the cross beam that I nailed earlier. That should do it.

It is bolted on but you don't have to have it on. It just doesn't snap on or off. It is not necessary to have on for it to run.

It has holes in a tab that is at the bottom of each leg. You can anchor it to the ground with supplied stakes. I buried two 4x4 pressure treated posts horizontally, flush with the ground and used deck screws to secure the arbor. That worked very well.

You will need to weight it down if you use it as is. The large concrete patio pavers will hold it down. I didn't find that very appealing, because you would need it to be on a very flat surface which meant I had to put it on the patio and it took up a lot of room. My husband installed a pipe with a larger diameter than the umbrella pole, into the ground right outside the patio perimeter. He concreted it in and the umbrella is much more stable and doesn't take up any floor space. We can remove it easily when we do not want it outside in the weather. So we do not use the base that it came with. I really like it for the purpose I need it for, and I am replacing one I had before this. I am pleased with it. I hope this helps you.

I purchased this last summer. It comes with stakes and loops to put them through. I've had it set up on my lawn for the last several weeks (just using the stakes) and it hasn't budged, even when we had a brief hale storm. However, if you want to set it up on a deck, then yes you will need something to anchor it to the deck. Also, note it doesn't have a floor which makes sense when you think about it, but surprised me when I opened it.

In any wind condition that is above a few miles an hour you will need to anchor it. It is heavy and pretty sturdy but not heavy enough to withstand any moderate to severe wind. It comes with tie downs that are built in to the canopy that you could probably extend and anchor in the yard just off the patio. Or if you want this to be a more permanent structure you could use cement anchors thru the feet.

Susan: Next time do what I did not do, believe the info from prior users. Mine is bolted to concrete blocks and fortunately has survived the summer. However, my gazebo on the lower side of my home procted from north and west winds the usual source of weather. I will never buy the 10x13 unit from this company again. Very cheaply made, my guess is I'll need a new unit next spring.

It must be bolted or screwed down. You may want to mount it to a separate board so you don't have to drill holes in you table or counter.

It only needs to be secured if it is windy. It does have things to secure the screen down. Since you would be setting it up on your patio, maybe you can tie it down to something.

Depends on the with of your patio. You need to secure it from the wind. On my patio end I popped a brick and drove a 2' piece of rebar into the ground with a hole drilled in the top and secured with steel wire.

Im not sure, this one has an opening on the ends where you screw in to the pieces that go into cement to permanently install. So mine was permanently installed with concrete into the ground. Very stable. I did not save the directions. Is your deck wood? I would say there must be a way to do it but I would nit know how to figure it out. A beautiful arbor I might add, nice it's weather proofed too. Long lasting. :) good luck!!!

Can be setup on deck , pavers , patios . We use sand bags to anchor only if the weather calls for wind

It doesn't have a true base, it has metal feet. What was recommended with the instructions is to get 4 12x12 paver stones to put on the metal feet to keep it secure. The patio pavers do keep it nice and secure. I live in North Dakota where the winds routinely get up to 50 mph and have never seen the umbrella move.

It would need to be bolted to something. You could bolt it to a square piece of wood. Ply wood of something. Maybe about foot square.
