How does it fit into the ground? Is it secured by anchors and sturdy?

Yes it is secured by anchors . Needs to be on level ground and will be fine . Easy to assemble .

It comes with a set of metal anchors to help steady the arbor. But it is recommended that in areas with high winds the arbor be placed in the ground using cement for the most permanent installation.

It has metal bars that slip into a groove on the legs and screw in. It anchors well, been up for about a year now.

Each of the 4 legs has a slender metal rod attached to it. The rods are about 2 feet in length and are pressed into the ground. It is sturdy and stable.

It comes with spikes that you install on legs to secure in ground. We have not done that yet as the arbor is going to be used at a wedding and then put in the bride and grooms back yard. It is quite lovely and I do recommend it.

Anchors that came with it worked great. But we also put some concrete in one of the holes. Seems very secure and is just beautiful!

It is secured to ground by four ground anchors - one on each leg. It has been installed about three weeks ago and seems to be quite secure, I am pleased with the product

It has stakes to ground it and it can be secured to a wall as well. Mine was not on level ground and we have very high winds. It tends to be top heavy if you aren't careful. Mine lasted just one spring, the plastic isn't sun safe and cracked.

It's pretty stable. The rubber stoppers will go up exposing metal spikes that you can stick into the ground for extra support.

Ruben, It seems secure. Has not tipped over when being used (knock on wood).

It's attached (screwed into) to a 4x4 post which is cemented into the ground. Very sturdy.

If you anchor it as instructed, it is very secure. You can use the anchors provided or bolt it down.

No, it does not come with anything to anchor it to the ground. It's light weight and tips over if kids push the walls.

It came with sturdy stakes that you pound through openings in each leg of the swingset into the ground. It is fairly secure system but keep in mind this size swingset is not meant for extreme swinging. My grands love it. Martha R.

Yes it is sturdy for pavement. You will need something to anchor it down. We used buckets with sand and that worked well. One person can set it up, but it is very easy with 2 people.

The stakes are metal and are sturdy enough to shove into the ground. If the ground is very hard you may have to use something to get it started like a large nail or a round screwdriver. They are somewhat delicate depending on the terrain.

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.

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.

Yes. You need to anchor it using something, even if loading with smaller items.

there are metal spikes that fit into the footings ,allowing it to anchor pretty well . I used cable ties to attach them to a chain link fence. I suppose you could put one of those screws with the circle on top into the wall and run a cable tie through the hole and around your trellis. should be stable .

It did well. It comes with sand bags and they were easy to use to anchor it down along with the stakes!

It is sturdy enough to walk on if the ground around it is stable, such as if you place it within a walkway or bricks, stones or such. I haven't tried it just buried in sand or dirt.

It is very sturdy. I run a home daycare and several children are hanging on it all day long. It does attach to walls tho so you will need to have someone do some measuring and drilling. I wish I had bought this 2 years ago when the kids had just started climbing steps. What is great is that it fits in awkward places that a straight gate won;t.
