what to use as anchor with tie down rings on coolaroo sun shade, nothing included with it

We put a large eye ring in the bottom of the wood frame of our screen porch and then used a bungee cord that came with a tarp (it is a loop that has a ball on one end). Put the loop through the eye and the ball stops it from going all the way. Then we use small carabiners to attach the bungee to the tie down rings.

I use small hooks like you get to hang coffee mugs on. We turn the hooks down and adjust the shade so it is taut. This works real well. We did have a problem a couple weeks ago after some very STRONG winds went through. The shade came loose at the bottom and we had to do some repair work, but it is now hooked back up and working great. These shades are wonderful.

Two eye hooks and bungee cords. It won't hold up to strong winds though. I had to mount mine pretty high above my porch. I don't like their design because the cord is way too short and cheap. I don't think I would buy it again if I had it all to do over.

We screwed a screw eye into the deck column on each end and attached the shade to the screw eye with a carabiner.

My shades are mounted at the outside of the patio ceiling away from the windows. I found bungees, etc. too much trouble. I took some curling ribbon cut two pieces long enough to go around each column next to the shade and ran each thru a tie down ring and around a column , tied it with a bow and now I can use one pull on the ribbon to untie it for raising and lowering the shade. I have to replace the ribbons every month or so. Curling ribbon costs about $2 for 150 yards.

Normally, tool boxes do not include these or other anchoring hardware. If needed, you can buy these universal anchors for a toolbox. These are great if you dont want to drill holes in your vehicle.

I used 2-1/2" galvanized steel pipes with SS eyebolts for one side and attached to an upper story deck post on the other. Hand pulled the tie ropes. Instead of the ropes that came with the shade, we used longer nylon ropes, so it's easier to tie.

It comes with an anchor kit included but we used 3 ft rebar to slide the 8 legs over for extra stability. We also used heavy duty nylon rope as guy wire for the exterior of the canopy. It worked awesome!

That's what I have done. Bought them off of the Tower website since they were cheaper than what I found on Amazon (but watch out for the shipping). There is a 'Saturn' brand iSUP that has grommeted strips down both sides for unlimited tie-down options. Not sure how you would glue those on.

The rings are separate, you put them on before you attach to anchors. just lift them high enough to work while attaching to the anchors, they just lye on top above the anchors and cool decking.

I don't even use a anchor. I purchased some thin rope at tractor supply...tied it around a tree...made a loop big enough for my battle rope. Spent 5 $

It comes with anchors. I recommend using them unless you live where wind never blows. The thing is rock solid though with proper anchors and tightening. I'd buy it again.

In addition to the feet mentioned by another suggestion, each corner of the canvas top has a loop to tie a rope on and attach to a stake. Also, if you are going on the cheap, purchase 5 gallon plastic buckets (Lowe's, etc) to fill with sand, gravel or water if you can't stake the ropes. Amazon has sand bags and other items designed to hold the canopy down in a windy situation. Lots of choices!

Patrick may have gotten one on his, but mine did not come with one. On their website it does state however you can notify them that you would like an anchor ring. I would call the company and check before you order. When I called they answered promptly. - Dan

Ground anchors are not included we needed to purchase them separately. I have no idea about the sun protection. Ours has been up for 3 months and no fading.

You can use super glue or contact cement to secure the end plugs in the roller. We nixed the whole idea of using the tiedowns and house-mounted holders and use a bungie cord to secure the shades to posts in our deck.

I attached mine to it, it comes with 6 expansion type anchor bolts, the type where you drill a hole insert the 3-31/2" insert the expansion unit, screw in the bolt to expand it and lock in place. When I inserted the expansion units I kept them flush with the angle of the vinyl as not put pressure on the vinyl and distort it when you screw in the mounts.I like the product only thing it provides no shade due to being clear and the door I put it over is in the afternoon sun and shade would have been nice. Wish they would have offered tented options.

The straps that come down from the four corners of the top canopy have hook and pulley systems which attach to the hooks/straps on the weight bags. I use the bags half filled with sand, and attach those to the straps/pulley tighteners. The first time I put it up, there were a series of storms that came through, lots of wind, etc. and the structure stayed put. I hope this helps. I decided against the heavy plastic weights, so I can't respond about how you'd keep them attached.

No Anchor, the instructions call for a 4x4x8 pressure treated post cemented in the ground. this piece slides over the post and secures to it. I'm sure you could work something over an existing post too.

I use a bungee to anchor mine when it gets windy. Living in fl we get oceanbreezy but I don't think this would work for you.

We were on the beach in Gulf Shores Alabama. No need to use tie down/anchors. We filled the bag all of the way to the top with sand (not wet sand) and wrapped snug around the pole (Velcro on bag works great!) and the umbrella stayed in place all day! We used the "Rio Sports Sand Anchor" (also bought on Amazon) to dig our pole hole (which work awesome and was SO EASY to use). Hope this helps! : )
