I can't figure out how to attach the panels-some have vertical loops instead of horizontal loops, so how do you put the stakes through them??

I purchased about a year ago. I received mine the same way, I'm pretty sure it's defected. I got it at a good price so wasn't worth sending back, so I use small zip ties from harbor freight, works great. Hope this helps&#128512;

I just pulled them out by hand. No problem. There's a nice groove at the top. You could probably use one of the other tent stakes to pull a stuck one out by wedding into that groove perpendicularly.

We did not connect them in any way. we have them arranged as a sectional on our deck, but not "fastened" together. They seem to do well that way. But I like your suggestion of zip ties. Maybe around the feet/legs. I'm going to try that myself.

use a tent stake or other thru the mounting holes. I actually just have a little chain and clip that I attach and then attach the chain to a screw in the ground anchor.

Have not put this one up yet, however, have had two similar ones. They are anchored to ground with tent stake type rods. I am also considering since this one is much larger, using some type of straping and throwing it over the greenhouse in at least 3 places to give more stability.

Rachel, thank you for bring this to our attention. We are currently working on instructions for you. Here are instructions for you. Set-up Instructions1. First line up tunnel to tent opening. 2. Locate the 4 black loops on tent and line then up with the 4 sets of velcro straps in tunnel.3. Place 1 velcro strap through the 1 loop of the tent. 4. Use the other strap to attach velcro together. 5. Repeat this process for the 3 other sides on the tent. Thanks,

These are proprietary to this panel, but get another set of Z brackets (regular ones) in case you need extra support at any other point. I used a a 6"x6" block of composite deck planking (fake wood used for decks) under each bracket, slathered with roofing tar as the base screwed to the roof. (From Lowes... and I got the flat one, not the ribbed one) This gave me more room to get perfect panel location since I used four panels for my array. This also allows you and extra inch of airspace under each panel for summer ventilation. Make sure you get good stainless steel screws long enough to penetrate fully and securely.

I'm not seeing any type of loops at the corners of the tent like you would typically see on a normal tent which you would put stakes through. Instead they're closed tabs where the tent poles terminate into. So it would maybe be an issue.

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.

This one comes with ground stakes. But the legs are open pvc, so if you were to get creative, you could probably attach it. It is tall however it is pretty sturdy, so that would have to be taken into consideration.

You'll need to accordion fold them up. It works. We folded up several folds and put the clip in the middle of the shade. Then we pulled the sides down to meet in the center and clipped the two sides together. Think of an upside down fan. It looks pretty but hard to explain. Doing this little maneuver, let's some light in while maintaining privacy. Reduces the amount of up and down of the shade.

I put heavy duty hooks into the fence to hold the oval rings when the line is extended, I think they came in the kit. The anchors are attached, but very difficult to use them and tighten the lines

As others said, the screws provided go through pre-drilled holes in the black shelf links into the 2x4's. I have a vague recollection of attaching the horizontal boards first, then flipping them to attach to the verticals. Don't know if anyone else tried that but it worked for us.

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

Good question. In my case I ran 4 panels horizontally on a frame of 2/4's running perpendicular to the panels on 2' centers. I covered with black plastic to hold in heat on back side and keep down vegetation underneath, then layed out the panels working from top to bottom. Below each I nailed a 1/2 to the 2/4 frame to provide a lip that kept the solar panel straight and used parachute cord (you can get a big box stores) across the panels from top down to hold them in place. I acn send pic if you like.

There are four loops at the base of the crate. Though there are no instructions, I presume the metal stakes are to hold it down on the ground if you want to use it outdoors.
