How to Anchor your gazebo properly
Some customers have emailed us for help, and securing a gazebo is among the top three most common questions.
Everyone knows how important it is to set up a gazebo securely, but few truly understand the correct way to anchor it. Today, we’re sharing tips on properly securing your gazebo to prevent it from doing a “windy day dance.”
A Step-by-Step Gazebo Anchoring Guide
1. Make sure the canopy is further tightened with a support strap.
2. Anchor pegs on each footplate.
3. Add gazebo weights to each leg of the frame.
4. Fasten guy ropes.
Method 1: Secure the guy ropes to the frame at all four corners.
Method 2: Attach the guy ropes to the D-rings on the canopy at all four corners.
Then, Anchor the guy ropes with pegs on the ground, lawn, or field.
5. Lower the height or take down the gazebo if necessary in extreme wind conditions.
6. For hard ground anchoring, consider securing your gazebo using the following method.
Method 1: Tie down the guy ropes to the steel weights for support instead of using pegs.
Method 2: Attach the guy ropes to the structure.
If a storm or tornado is approaching, pack up and head home—it’s not a day to be outside.
A pop-up gazebo is not meant for permanent use; otherwise, it might turn into a “fly-up” gazebo!
