can this arbor be anchored down?

They say pound legs into ground- that's the stakes!! In addition to that go to hardware store & buy 3-4' sections of rebar pound in next to legs- wind stainless steel wire & wrap & tighten around legs-.that's what I did!!

F.y.I. my 2 arches did NOT have any stakes like the other person said no 24" stakes were in mine

Anything can be anchored down if you put your mind to it but why would you want to? It comes with 24" built-in ground spikes as part of the assembly and unless you anticipate using this item in a hurricane, I'd leave it alone! It's strong, but if you start throwing metal straps across the top of it, not only will it look bad but you're likely to crush it!

Yes. Ours stood up all winter. We set the legs in sand and pebbles. So far so good

I think you can. Not sure what you had in mine. Where I put mine I just attached it to my house w/a zip tie "just worked out that way for me" now I have ivy growing around it and it's looking good. I love it.

The bottom of it sticks in the ground. If you push it down you could add tent states if you want but I do not think you need it.

The only way is to buy 3' plus rebar & stainless steel wire & tie it off!!!

The four corners are stuck into the ground. Mine stayed outside all winter and it is standing without type of anchoring it down. Can't wait to get some ivy growing on it...hope this helped....I love it

My gardeners just pushed the legs into the ground, it is very stable; planted and tied climbing rose bushes on each side, which are blooming and we hung a basket of flowers to the back of the arch. Guests have commented on how beautiful it looks in the memory garden.

Yes it can be set up, but not during a gusty/windy day. Must be taken down after each use. They do not provide the proper anchors for this product and will not replace or refund even though the product does not come with the proper equipment.

No, it is kind of light weight. It might come with spikes to anchor it down with, but I don't recall.

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!

Yes it can. That is what I bought it for. I would still anchor it just in case.

Yes it has a plastic post that fits inside the arbor post that anchors it into the ground. I would still cement it however.

Yes it is secured by anchors . Needs to be on level ground and will be fine . Easy to assemble .

not sure how you'd tie it down. But if there's another way to anchor it, I suppose you could

It is all dependent upon the height where you mount the bracket, but my guess is no, it won't be high enough to reach over your arbor.

What I did, was to put the anchors in the bottom of the arbor after sealing them at the ends so they wouldn't fill with either water or concrete. I did not use the wood option because I didn't feel it was necessary. I then secured the (vinyl) anchors (furninshed) in concrete at the specified depth (18 in).

If you added planks to each side under the legs to give it more stability, don't see why not. The planks could be 1" X 4"'s about twice as long as the arbor legs are. Long corner braces could be screwed to the planks - then to the four leg sides to stabilize it from wobbling too much from side to side. After the wedding, you would still have it to place in your landscape. Double whammy!

If you anchor it as instructed, it is very secure. You can use the anchors provided or bolt it down.

You could but I would recommend using anchors depending on what you are using this item for.

100% agree with the previous post. It was not designed for concrete installation, but that doesn't mean you could not adapt it for such a scenario. We had the same issue and changed our design so that the arbor would be off the edge of the concrete patio and over a new walkway which goes to our garden. The arbor, in our design, simply sits pushed into the lawn, but it is right up against the patio and we walk through the arbor to get to the garden.

The thread outer diameter needs to be the same to maintain balance. Also this arbor attaches with two set screws. The set screws would certainly damage the threaded shaft on your ginder.

No, unless you have some kind of drill attachment that allows you to use threaded arbors (i have never seen such a thing.)

No it does not have to be anchored. It is quite sturdy. The frame holds it in place. And you can move it around the yard as necessary
