Can it be anchored to cement somehow to avoid it blowing away in the wind?

I will say Yes . The way that you could anchored to the cement maybe, is by doing some kind of DIY anchor system. Because, the brackets that come with the Gazebo are to be anchored to dirt. But, won't be hard how to figure out how to do it. This gazebo is Beautiful !, with great space. I did my daughter's baby shower in it. I wish I could send some pictures ! If you have any other questions , please feel free to contact me again. Enjoy !

First of all. the mfg warns about high wind application. But if you weight down the 6 legs, there are hol;es for screws on the end of each leg. You couls also use a conrete block to anchor each leg. I would reccomend that you be able to fold down the whole canopy when not utilizing it, to avoid a heavy strain on the unit. After all it is made to be mobile and not permantly set up. Otherwise a very attractive and functional canopy. I would reccomern with the cavet athat you do take precautions when in use..

It's not a permanent type gazebo, but it does have holes drilled in the bases so you can mount it to cement if you want to. You can't leave it out all year though. We in northern Illinois so we have to take it down in storms and the winter. We just use heavy duty tent stakes and parachute cord the rest of the time. You might consider waterproofing it too, as it does leak if you don't.

Yes. The stakes help prevent them from blowing away. If the location is prone to wind you may want to try weighing them down with a brick or rock.

This rolls up so you could roll it up during storms. I believe it can be anchored on the sides if you have posts to anchor it to. Where we live we have some pretty high winds, too. I just roll it up during those times. Hope this helps.

Obviously, in a real severe wind, it MAY blow over, however: also very unlikely. The plastic is very durable and rugged so, to ensure that it wouldn't, I simply drilled a tiny hole in the bottom of it and put a couple coffee cans of sand in it, and duct taped the tiny hole. It's not going anywhere now, gauranteed ! : )

It doesn't come off, I would get industrial stakes if you plan on using it in the wind.

I'm sorry, but I really don't know. I secured mine with some thin string to a gazebo-like structure. It held throughout our horrible winter with winds sometimes up to 35-45mph. Could you possible tie it up with long string to a nearby window?

We haven't had much wind since we put it up. But, the frame is very sturdy. When we put it in it's permanent location, I plan to place it in a heavy ABS sleeve embedded in a one sack, reedy mix cement. Then slip all four legs into the ABS sleeves. If you can't do that, I'd probably do the same method but put the concrete in 5 gallon buckets. This thing is big, it's sturdy but it could easily become a big sail. m Hope this helps.

In my opinion no shelter of this sort will withstand heavy winds. It would need weights tied on to keep down or spikes in the feet of each pole. On a fairly calm day just bury a few inches in the sand and it would be fine.

I'd be a little concerned about it if there was any wind. While you can stake it down I don't know if it will hold if it was windy. Hope this helps.

I would be concerned that the pvc would not hold up in high winds. Mount would not have an issue.

I suspect it's OK for temporary use for your application; though you would need to secure it to the deck properly with bolts. Otherwise, a strong wind will blow it away.

You can anchor it to the ground. It stands up well to wind. Mine blows closed in high wind if I leave it up. I've had several of these things I use to park my motorcycle under each day. This one is the best so far. Very well made.I see that others are saying it doesn't do well in wind. I guess it depends on how much wind. Also, there are hols in the plate the internal support sections fasten into, and those holes are for anchoring to the ground...or whatever.

We live on the beach and it can be quite windy. We haven't had any problems due to wind, but we do have the pole secured on a deck railing as well as on the deck itself.

More than likely it will blow off. We fastened with straps and so far it has made it threw 60 mph winds. Good luck

I installed the gazebo with my son yesterday on a cement patio. I don't want to make holes in the patio to bolt it down. Any suggestions how to secure it so that a strong wind won't take it away? Thank you.

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!

Yes it can, but it will blow around if it is windy. We don't stake ours because the kids love playing with it all over the garden
