I live in NYC and my backyard is 10 by 20..... Do i need extra room to anchor this down or can i do it within my BOX backyard?

Put the rebar on the inside. Fits in the footprint and withstands 60 mph gusts.

I don't think you would have a problem. I put mine on plywood with 2x4's as base. I have had no problems even in TX high winds

No need for extra space. Poles are anchored in the ground. Bottom of each pole has a plate with three holes.

Mine is slightly sheltered however I only staked down the 6 posts by driving large tent stakes. Stayed in place for three months and a few storms.

The 20 foot length would be Ok but the 10 ft with may be too tight. We built a 10 x 10 floor (3/4" plywood-treated and 2 x 4s treated) and it fits well. Good luck.

I took 3/8" rebar and cut it 18" long. Found a place to hook it and bent a hook in it like a candy cane. I put up the green house and ran 1/8" wire from the highest bar like the diagram shows. I did this in 4 cornors. With the short side touching the ground I attached the wire to the rebar and drove it the rest of the way into the ground; pulling the wire tight. I live in coastal Texas and with the door open it has withstood 35 to 40 mph winds and not moved any. Hope this helps.

You could bunch it to take up the extra two feet-won't be taut against any wind-folding won't work since you will lose the side ties

You really don't want this thing coming down. 10 is a good number and won't weaken a 2x6 (or greater) ceiling joist. I threw out the lag bolts that they supplied and replaced them with 3 inch long 1/4" diameter lags. What they supply is useless for a garage with a finished ceiling. You have 5/8" sheetrock, then 3/4" firring strips(not good for holding this lift up at all). Considering that the 2 inch lags they supply have a head plus the bracket thickness, that leaves you with less than 5/8" of penetration into the stud. That is stupid dangerous in my opinion. I have 2 of these lifts installed, one is heavily loaded and has been up there for a month now. You really really really want to read the installation instructions from various customers before buying (I did). I also posted what I did.

great idea with the auger anchor. i was going to buy a big square one and i wasnt sure how i was going to attach the opposite side.. i might try that.

What ever distance you desire. I would keep it under 10 feet apart to insure lateral support.

We anchored ours to 4x6 beams that were anchored with cement. (50 bags) We made a patio out of screed blocks and filled in the spaces with gravel. We used the drainage holes in the solarium to anchor it. We live in a windy area and we weren't taking any chances.

I think you would be fine with no extension. I also have high ceilings. Plus in the box you already get an extension. I did not use it.

I would say anything is possible but we anchor ours to a fence. There are othee ways to anchor as well if you would like to move yours around the yard.

You could always put an additional tent next to it. Really designed to be 20 by 20. Good buy tho

hardware is included for mounting the awning into brick (it includes expansion bolts). My house is frame. Because the awning is actually metric (vs feet and inches) it is not really 10 feet long. I mounted it to a 10 x 6 x 2 board which I then was able to lag bolt into the frame of my house (the actual mounting holes in the awning would not line up with my frame, hence the need to mount it on the board ... so I needed to buy the board and the lag bolts to make it work)

No....there isn't enough space. If you did it anyway I feel it would spoil the look your trying to achieve. I thought I would miss my box spring but not the case !!!

It is not a huge box and it is actually a rather small rod. IF you extend it all the way? you will need to support it in the center. I am using it for a curtain rod. NOT all the way extended and not heavy curtains but I needed to support it in the center. My point was NOT to drill holes anywhere.

First always park in good spot, not backed in at the end. My rack has a 6" side rail. I can loop a small plastic coated cable (ready made or pieced together at Lowe's) enough to discourage the average lowlife.

yes but you have to stand far enough away so you have room for club, a small breeze will knock it over I set it up in the garage no problem.

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.

We tie ours up. For this you need something to anchor it to on either side, or else tent stakes to anchor it to the ground. I use a hang-anywhere clothes line tied to the fence in my backyard. The yard is narrow enough that it can stretch across the width, wrapping once around the center pole of the clothes rack in the middle of the yard. If I thread the rope/line through the top portion of the clothes rack so it can't slide up and down, the rack won't blow over even on a windy day.Sorry if this sounds complicated, but it is the most lightweight and portable solution suggested thus far. If lifting weights to secure it isn't possible, a sturdy rope/clothes line to tie it up be the ticket for you. We tie ours up.
