Does it need to be anchored into the ground?

Yes, I would suggest that the arch be anchored in some manner, if it's windy where you live and if you will be growing a vine type plant on it.

No, we just pushed into the ground since its location is blocked by the wind. We have used cement the legs of some arbors in windy areas and place that have little traffic going through them.

It doesn't have to be anchored you can just push it in the ground but if you live in a windy area I would probably anchor it. It is light weight and we anchored ours because it was convenient for us. We also bought baskets on amazon and hung them on each side and that weighed it down quite a bit.

I bought this for my daughter and she did not anchor it. They haven't had any problems looks really nice

I did. I put metal rods in the ground and then slid the legs over the rods so it is not going to fall over.

You would have to be creative to keep it from flying away, but I think it could be done with concrete bases or sand bags. Drilling into the concrete for little flush sunken anchors if it is your own concrete wouldn't be to difficult and would end up being even better than ground stakes.

It needs stakes...I think it could be easily knocked over if not held down somehow.

I would not bury it in the ground. I Would purchase an extension chord and just hook it to that. There is enough chord to do what you want however.

Not as it is. It has spikes to go into the ground that the tubular arch sits down on.A base would need to be made to stand it.

No, it has no way to be anchored to the ground..... mine honestly didn't last long I would look around to try and get a better one!

Item should be completely assembled before putting into the ground. It cannot be assembled easily once pole in firmly inserted in ground. Make sure concrete is added to pole (2 bags or 115 lbs) before lifted onto anchored base or other foundation.

That was my plan, but I haven't gotten to it yet. Looking at it fully assembled I see no reason why you couldn't do that. It is very strudy and well supported that is should be completely fine being put in the ground.

No, it needs to be bolted down. I wouldn't risk this thing dropping to the floor. That would be a shame because it's really nice

We did not anchor it to the ground . We drilled stainless screw into a wooden deck and then used attached straps to the outside loops and anchored them to give it wind stability.

Yes, but it is designed to be staked into the ground for stability in wind or other weather, so you may want to weight the legs with sandbags or something heavy.

Yes, there are metal sections that anchor the unit to the ground. They seem effective, but installation is tricky if ground is not level.

Yes, grounding will be necessary. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

It doesn't anchor to the ground. It has a section at the bottom that you fill with water. And that section is tied to the actual slide. We haven't had any problems with it staying in place.

I assembled it and it is not design to be bolted to the ground by itself , however I plan to bolted using metal angulars, one portion to the ground and the other to the leg, probably you can find other way to do it

From reviews I've read from others, they have anchored it. There are holes in the bottom of the posts for that.

You would have to anchor it to deck somehow. It is very light weight. There are loops attached that are used to stake it to ground, so you may be able to use those to tie it to deck. Hope this helps
