How do these hold a tarp/tent to the ground without a hook at the top?

The indentations underneath the head act as hooks and keep the anchor loops in place. As long as you have tension on the loops, and ideally drive them into the ground angled slightly away from the tent, they hold fine. I've used them for the last couple years mostly in the soft dirt of redwood forest floors and haven't had any issues with the anchor loops slipping out.

I double them up and then attach my tarp top to both of them where they cross right above the ground. These are great- high strength and they dig deep.

It will need something to hold it down. Just know you are buying a thin tarp that is basically useless

As long as the material you are holding is thick enough such as a tarp it will hold it, They clamp down hard and once attached they wont come off until you want them to.

I used 1/4", 550 parachute chord. I used these on a 10' x 20' tent and they held even in a strong wind.

With tarp clips. This product is not meant for extreme weather, or even moderate weather. It will not hold up to wind. It's great on a normal day.

It doesn't come with them so you need to buy them too. Either s hooks or carabiners or something like that would work, just be sure they're rated to handle enough weight.

I used 2 clips to rig a hanging harness for my pack and 10 gals of water. Rigged the harness to a tree limb, hung water and pack from rigged clips. So, I would think each held in excess of 25 lbs overnight.Haven't tested them to greater trials than that. I know they've held my tarp in 28 mph winds here in Montana with no problem.

They are two straps that keep the tent in shape instead of flat. If you could attach the corners of the tent to the cubicle, I guess you wouldn't need the strap to create the tension.

You can either use a rig and some clips or even cut small holes in the fabric and hang it with framing hooks. Thumbtacks work too.

You do need a place on top of the vehicle where you can attach the hooks of the tent. I don't have a full luggage rack, but do have roof bars that worked fine to hold the hooks in place. Without those bars it may be challenge finding a place for the hooks to hold.

You slip the supports in the top of the poles. Then the cover itself has bungee balls that slip through grommets in the tarp and attach it to the fencing material.

they are in two parts and wrap around the base tightened by velcrow straps. a better solution i've seen at the beach are hemp shopping bags filled w sand and bungee corded to the tent.

I'm a camper, and I'm pretty sure they're tent stakes. They're for tacking the crate down to the ground if you're outside.

I am not sure which poles you are talking about...The poles that run through the canopy are tent like poles with the little stretchy cord inside and they metal connecters between each section of pole. The poles that support the safety net are probably a little bit more sturdy. Either way, I think that you could put a tarp on top of it. Good luck though. Our canopy has had problems withstanding any sort of wind at all. We have purchased 2 and the 2nd one is not up because we are afraid it will rip again... it has already been torn and repaired once. I wouldn't buy this item.

There are no metal hooks (though the instructions incorrectly list them). You just use the bungees. Good luck!

There is a loop at the top you can use...if you can use a hook too, if you choose.

Velcro goes around the bags and works great alone. If you want there is also a nylon loop that you can hook cords to and tie onto the tent for double security. We use every week with just the velcro and the tents stay in place.
