If you are setting this up on a patio does it need to be secured and how would you secure it?

Depends on wind. But it comes with some anchors that you could tie down or push in the ground. I have used mine on a rock patio and just put some bags of pool salt on the legs for safety. I have only used anchors once.

It comes with tether ropes/strings. You need something to anchor them to if you are worried about wind blowing it over. It's pretty sturdy overall though, so it depends on what kind of wind you commonly experience.

I guess it depends on wind conditions. If it is not windy, no need to secure it. If you are concerned about wind, you could place something that weighs a few pounds, like a small sandbag on the feet.It is really pretty sturdy. We have used ours several times with no need to secure it to the ground.

It only needs to be secured if it is windy. It does have things to secure the screen down. Since you would be setting it up on your patio, maybe you can tie it down to something.

We always set ours up on the patio and use bungee cords (2) to secure it from the top of the screen to the deck top. We only leave it up for the duration of the party due to possible issues with wind. Any reasonable wind could tweak it and cause damage. The framing is very solid, however one never knows when that freak wind may blast through.

We drilled ours and it is very secure. Can't say how it would be without drilling as it would be at an odd angle without drilling.

You will need to purchase a lock to keep it in place, and to ensure it is not removed, unless you want it to be. Enjoy!

That would depend on where you were putting it. It is not weather resistant so it needs to be in a protected environment.

There are velcro ties to secure the cover to the frame. One of them came off so I simply stapled it back on. I don't know what other ties one would need unless you were bracing for a hurricane. Since there is extra material as a "flange" around the base, I placed bricks around the outside and that's sufficient to keep the greenhouse from blowing away in the 2 storms we have had in the past week. I also had to "enhance" the shelves with plywood to support the weight of my Plumerias, since the wire shelves included are not sturdy enough.

There are stake holes for tent stakes. When we use it on our deck we secure it with these on windy days. It is so easy to put up we don't leave it up all the time.

Hi Nancy. The only thing I can think of is using weight bags that attach to the legs of the gazebo. I've attached a link to the ones I fould. I purchased this gazebo and bolted it to the patio and it is very secure. Holes are very small and could be filled very easly. Let me know what you decide to do.http://www.ezup.com/accessories/weightbag.shtmlAllan

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

You will need to weight it down if you use it as is. The large concrete patio pavers will hold it down. I didn't find that very appealing, because you would need it to be on a very flat surface which meant I had to put it on the patio and it took up a lot of room. My husband installed a pipe with a larger diameter than the umbrella pole, into the ground right outside the patio perimeter. He concreted it in and the umbrella is much more stable and doesn't take up any floor space. We can remove it easily when we do not want it outside in the weather. So we do not use the base that it came with. I really like it for the purpose I need it for, and I am replacing one I had before this. I am pleased with it. I hope this helps you.

Can be setup on deck , pavers , patios . We use sand bags to anchor only if the weather calls for wind

The "T" stand it comes with requires square patio pavers to hold it down, otherwise the weight of the umbrella will make the whole thing fall over. My husband inserted a pole larger than the diameter of the umbrella pole into the ground (with concrete), the umbrella pole is then inserted into that as a stand and is very secure. It can still be turned to shade where needed. The original stand would have been fine, we needed the space under the umbrella and did not want to anchor it with concrete patio pavers . I hope this helps.

Yes however you may want to get plastic caps or something to put on the bottom of the legs for protection to the patio.

We secured it at base of the deck + elastic cord. I have seen they are placing a few snad bags on the stand at restaurant. But if you live in windy area, this may not be stable.

Yes, I would advise securing it somehow, or maybe not leaving it in harms way during extreme weather conditions.....

No. It just needs to be kept off the ground. But a concrete slab or a wood deck are good choices.

It has stakes to ground it and it can be secured to a wall as well. Mine was not on level ground and we have very high winds. It tends to be top heavy if you aren't careful. Mine lasted just one spring, the plastic isn't sun safe and cracked.

Our little table for our toddler grandbabies sits on a concrete patio. The umbrella rests on the concrete. No need to anchor it. When not in use, you'll want to put it (the umbrella) indoors or in a shed. It offers a decent amount of shade.
