do I need to buy any hardware to secure this Arbor to the ground? I am planning to place this in the backyard and on top of a grass area.

The legs must be pounded into the ground a minimum amount of inches, that will anchor it securely.

The way it anchors is: you use a pipe (provided) and hammer it into the ground to make the right sized hole. The arbor then fits into the holes. You could certainly pack in dirt, etc. around the poles once they're in to anchor them, but there's nothing included to secure it.

This comes with a pole that you use to make holes in the ground (need a hammer or rubber mallet). Then you place the bottom of the legs into the holes and that's it.

It's is pretty lightweight but no it comes with extra pole to hammer in holes before putting the bottom posts actually into the ground.

Hi Denise.... Yes, you do need hardware for hanging in your tree. It doesn't come with anything. There is a loop at the top. I hung mine indoors. I went to my local hardware store and they helped me purchase the hardware for hanging inside which was a lot cheaper than buying online; however, for a tree you may want something a strong piece of nylon or some type of material that won't damage the tree. There are a lot of options at a hardware store. Sorry I couldn't be of more help! Btw, be careful when inserting the pillow in the bottom. The zipper is cheaply made and ours broke upon zipping the first time....

No ... in fact my arbor, which has now been installed for about 9 months, seems quite substantial using the posts that were packaged with it. Plus, in this part of the coast we have very sandy soil. Unless there is a compelling reason, concrete would not be necessary.

I'm an arborist and no you don't need anything special just put some gravel at the bottom of a container that has drain holes

Yes you do. Here is what the instruction manual says about putting it up: Measure distances between posts and markground accordingly. Dig holes 12" deepaccording to measurements and basic layout(figure 2). Fill with cement and place 16" steelL-channel ground anchors in wet cement. Besure that ground anchors are straight and inaccordance with measurements of arbor posts.Allow cement to dry. NOTE: There is very littleroom for error with this installation method.Slide arbor over ground anchors. Using two 1"self-tapping white-head screws per post screwpost to ground anchor (figure 1). Whenfastening, use one screw per side whereground anchor meets post. For added supportfasten screws with at least two inches verticallybetween them. Yes you do.

Depends on the with of your patio. You need to secure it from the wind. On my patio end I popped a brick and drove a 2' piece of rebar into the ground with a hole drilled in the top and secured with steel wire.

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).

The hardware is included if you are hanging it on a wood of frame house. Otherwise you will need to go to the hardware store to get anchors to hang it on a brick house.

Yes. The net I received must be attached to a base and staked to the ground. All the hardware is included except for the lumber.

The frame assembly bolts are included but will not stay tight and there is nothing included to mount the legs to a deck or surface of your choice. There is a product called "loctite" that claim to keep nuts permanently tight. you can use on the nut threads while tightening them and that might help. My suggestion, pick a better stand..

No. It comes with a stake to put in ground. I use a cast iron stand made a for patio umbralla - very sturdy.

Good morning, Denise. Yes, you will need to purchase additional hardware to use outdoors. I would suggest a strong piece of rope and a S-hook for hanging, or you can purchase our HearthSong Stand sold separately. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, HearthSong Customer Service

It does not come with any hardware. We screwed through the center in 2 spots & drilled into the railing. We put some stones, purchased by the bag, at the hardware store, added potting soil & flowers. We love the look. They have winter our storms, snow & wind. No problem

No, I used garden spikes to hold it on top of the ground and the grass grew over it. The lawn mower didn't affect it either. Sure saved quite a bit of work installing it. I've had our fence for almost 3 years and its wonderful!

It's made of plastic. Like a PVC plastic. They give you plastic pieces that go in the ground and the arbor gets attached to those pieces. They are only about a foot long. The location of ours has one side abutting another structure. I did not do this for support, it just happened to be where it ended up going. Therefore, I can't comment about being totally on it's own. Hope this helps.

The wheels are larger then the distance below the arbor. You need to free stand it or allow at least 16" below the wheels for clearance.

We are very happy with the arbor, for the price. It is very easy to anchor.
