None of the plastic stakes for any tent etc work. Use screw in stakes. Umbrellas in wind are like parachutes good luck. I use this type of umbrella for work, very serviceable for a cheap umbrella.

I bought a plastic stand from Walmart that you fill with sand to keep it secured for the pole of the umbrella. very inexpensive and it looks nice.

It's attached to a stake therefore needs to be placed either in the ground on in a flower pot.

There are stakes that come with the unit also there are about 5 pockets around the base that I filled with sand.

You kind of have to experiment to see what works for you. I have used stakes that where two by twos anchored in cement and also tried sunflower stalks. The solid stakes can take spacing of up to 8 feet. With flimsier stakes, I'd say half that.

what you see in the picture is it. You have to force the two bottom stakes in the ground or if you build a stand I guess you could drill holes andl drop them in a wood board.

The "feet" are designed to sit on top of the ground, not to be put into the earth. Firm earth will work better than softer loam or sand. The canopy should be secured and held down by stakes, similar to tent stakes, or by screw-in canopy anchors that can be purchased from any home improvement center or hardware store. Instructions come with the canopy. Your anchoring technique should be chosen to be appropriate for your specific site.

Absolutely not. There must be something on the back to hold it in place.I did not go with sand or water. Instead, I placed bags of topsoil on the base. It works just as well and much easier to remove if needed.

I have an easy solution for anchors. For my tent I went to Walmart and bought four 10 gallon water bottles. I filled them with water and tied them to the four corner legs. It worked so much better than trying to anchor stakes.

If you are talking about the bottom free edge of the shade when fully unrolled, then you could use bungees to some weights ( I use some exercise kettle bells). Otherwise, masonry drill to set anchor eye loops to the ground for fastening.)

I did not stake mine I placed mulch on top of the hose . only time I would think you would need stakes is a sharp angle. The hose is quite flexible, once it's layed out in sun to warm

I stake it to the ground at the poles but also added some small nylon ropes and attached them near the roof to add sway protection (your reference to guy wires) in case a storm comes up. With the sides down, it's a big area for the wind to grab.

I would recommend that you read the directions that come with the stakes. I did put most of the ceramic part into the soil (about 3") as the moist ceramic being in contact with the soil is what keeps the plant at the proper hydration.

System comes with hold down ropes (adjustable) for poles. S-hook attaches to eyelet on top of pole. Stakes are driven into grass. Fairly easy to set up.

My husband drilled four holes in the poles (two sets directly across from one another) then inserted a bolt through two of the holes and secured it with a wing nut. It gives me four ways to position the umbrella without spinning.

mount the piteba to a block of wood / 2x6 or 2x12. Then use Irwin quick clamps, they have soft feet, to hold it on. This is what I have always done.
