Has anyone had experience anchoring this to asphalt?

I attached my boot scrubber to a 13 x 13 concrete paver so that I had the ability to move it.

I anchored mine to my wooden deck, but if you try asphalt you will need to use lag bolts or lead shields to keep it in place

I anchored it to concrete, drilling anchor holes with a masonry bit. However, since asphalt is softer I would just drill a little deeper and use longer screws.

I think they make special stakes for that....it definitely will need something different as the stakes are critical to its support structure....maybe use sandbags to anchor to?

Anchoring is not included. You can buy an add on kit, or pour a cement slab.

I am having the same problem. I plan to anchor it by placing a roped Brick O block to each corner post and lay one block on each side and back to prevent wind from getting under it. I have not tried it , but plan to.Please let me know of any ideas you get from others

No there was no way to anchor it. We were very disappointed with this product so it was returned. Also the bottom was much thinner than was advertised and did not give much sun protection.

I haven't put mine up on asphalt, but I can't see it being any harder than on grass, which it to say super easy as long as you have 4 people. Two people can do it, but it is challenging, and the one time I did it solo I worried about bending it funny (It works best when you have a person holding each of the legs.) You will definitely want to put weights on the corners (stakes being hard on asphalt) because it doesn't take much wind to tumble the whole canopy. If it was me, I would probably use cinder blocks tied to each leg with cord. Having at least 1 tall person helps with putting the walls up because they attach pretty high. I hope this helps!

I don't remember exactly. Not very wise around. But I CAN tell you this. .. If directions are followed and the anchor is properly installed, it IS NOT coming back up. Period. You would actually have to dig down with a shovel to get it

This is the perfect tool for every tire changing job of the average and standard tire and wheel. Yes you will need to anchor it to the ground first. I used a piece of 3/4 inch plywood about 48"X 48" using 1/2" leg bolts. Then the plywood was anchored to the ground using 12" tent pins from Wal Mart sporting Dept. set at an angle of about 45 deg. However if you are setting it on concrete like in a garage then drill into the concrete and use 1/2 in. X 3 in. long leg screws. Hope this answer's your Qt's.

My husband ties it on the roof rack but also takes the excess and knots it to really secure it. We travel 6 hours to our vacation destination and have not had a problem with it.

I only recomend anchoring the feet that attaches to the legs, with some good heavy strong long stakes. You can mfind tent stakes that look just like a huge nail. I would not achor with cement as it will rust some metals. Cement ate up my wheelbarrow bottom. Great, strong canopy. Mel

I contemplated the same thing. The only way I saw was to drill a hole in the plastic foot and then chain it to an anchor in the ground.

While it comes with mounting screws, you could anchor it, but since I would need to go through the threshold and then concrete, I didnt do so, and it has worked just fine.

hi, at first i didn't anchor it and even after it fell once in a storm, i naively thought it would be okay. after the second fall, i put the extensions on and cemented it into the ground. that ought to teach the wind in chicago!

I had no trouble. You do have to make sure you are on a very hard surface. I did it on the concrete floor of my garage, and I may have had to use a piece of wood as a brace to balance it.

I don't think you can anchor it to the ground in its current form. You could rig something up with real tent stakes and some cloth wraps. Two of the four sides on the top are mesh and the other two are the colored tent material. It doesn't come with a tent "cover" for the mesh sides but again, you could rig something up to block out the mesh. I hope that helps!

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 $

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