None of the plastic stakes for any tent etc work. Use screw in stakes. Umbrellas in wind are like parachutes good luck. I use this type of umbrella for work, very serviceable for a cheap umbrella.

Stakes are not supplied (if they were, they were too puny). You definitely need stakes (ones appropriate for the sand if you are at the beach) unless there is no breeze (and when have you been to the beach with no breeze?). The sand bags may help you hold the shelter in place while you put in the stakes, but otherwise, the shelter is a very effective sail.There is a carrying bag with the product. The bag is large enough that it is easy to stuff the shelter into the bag.

System comes with hold down ropes (adjustable) for poles. S-hook attaches to eyelet on top of pole. Stakes are driven into grass. Fairly easy to set up.

I use an auger exactly like this with a cordless drill to set umbrellas in the sand. Even in soft sand where some of the material falls into the hole, it works fine. I drill the hole, insert the umbrella shaft and work it in, and then I pour some water around it to firm put he sand. It works like a charm. I borrowed this idea after seeing the 'beach boy workers" in Florida setting up rental umbrellas using this method.

The framework is metal poles. There are anchoring guy wires attached about 4.5 ft up that you can extend out in any direction. We also anchored with small stakes at the corners. If you have very strong winds, and are anchoring in soft soil, I would recommend getting thick tent stakes from a box store, as they would hold better. We have had some strong winds with these winter storms, and only had one stake pull loose. I have hung incandescent lights inside to keep the plants warm, and that has worked well (outside temps down to 17 deg.)

I stake it to the ground at the poles but also added some small nylon ropes and attached them near the roof to add sway protection (your reference to guy wires) in case a storm comes up. With the sides down, it's a big area for the wind to grab.

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.

I ordered this to take to the beach. I would highly recommend sand anchors. What we did was dig holes aobut 6-8" deep, put the stake in sideways, and pack sand and water on top of it. It held for the most part, but some high winds definitely made the stakes loosen and therefore the net sagged. also note that the poles seemed to dig down into lose sand a bit when trying to make the lines to the stakes tight. Not a problem, unless you must have the net at the exact correct height.

use sand bags or fill with sand - per instructions that should have come with your steps.Also, ours have brackets on the handrail that are to mount to the deck.

There are tabs on the bottom of each leg that can have a stake driven through them. I buried 4x4 posts in the ground (lengthwise, cut to length and flush with the ground) and screwed the legs to it via the tab holes using deck screws.

As mentioned in the comment below, the stakes go through loops on each corner. Since the loops are not very long, it would be difficult to hold the castle down with sandbags alone (the loops would not reach far enough under the sandbags to utilize much of their weight). If your deck is made of planks with enough spacing between, you could use rope, toggle fasteners, etc. Regardless, I'm sure you can find a way to anchor the castle.

The center rod, which has a really sharp point, is the main stake that is supposed to go into the ground. Then there are smaller stakes to tie down the umbrella sides/flaps.

I would recommend that you read the directions that come with the stakes. I did put most of the ceramic part into the soil (about 3") as the moist ceramic being in contact with the soil is what keeps the plant at the proper hydration.

it comes with 2 re-bar stakes for mounting. You have to mark and pre-drill through the concrete, pound down the re-bar, then put the caps that come with it over the re-bar. Don't forget to fill it with sand first.

I would not think that this would work on beach sand (or, for that matter, solid rock) with the supplied stakes (especially since they are round shafts). The reason is that this tent MUST be firmly staked for the roof support to do its job. This is due the design of the this type of tent. It is not meant to be free standing, the same as with most large base camp tents, officer tents, marquis tents, re-enactment tents, etc. Solid ground anchoring is not an option with this tent, but rather a requirement. However, if you have extra long stakes which you could substitute, which are designed for sand, and which would not easily pull out, you may have a chance at having it work on beach sand.

If you are talking about the bottom free edge of the shade when fully unrolled, then you could use bungees to some weights ( I use some exercise kettle bells). Otherwise, masonry drill to set anchor eye loops to the ground for fastening.)
