Does this rock have anchor points? We own a rock that fits over a utility box that has 4 "anchor" stake points. Need to know it's not blowing away!

This rock has no anchor ooints. That would be a great feature to add. I keep a landscaping rock on top of it so the compressor underneath does not get wet.

It comes with the anchor system, you do have to dig a deep hole but it is well worth it! Very happy with the system.

It comes with stakes but they're not very impressive. I haven't had to stake it yet but will probably go out and get a set of sturdier stakes before I do.

Hi Clive,I apologize for missing your message for a year.I apologize for missing your message for almost a year. I used some large orange tent stakes from Lowe's to anchor it. I also used a sharpie to mark where the pipes for the frame fit together to help put it together from year to year. I hope you are enjoying your garden.Pete

I anchor mine with a rock. Keeps the device under the water. This is the second one I've had and we got 3-4 Maine winters out of the first one.Maine Sage

Frankly, I've not pulled up any of the anchors...had to know a couple back down a few inches after a wind storm though. Without these anchors, the trampoline would have became a parachute most likely!! The difficulty in removal can be roughly equated to the difficulty of installation. Ground hardness / rockiness will vary greatly from one yard to the next. I would just leave the trampoline in one spot. Once you've pulled those anchors, DON'T put them right back in the very same holes at a later date....won't hold nearly as well the second time around!

It did not come with rocks. What happens is you need rocks to hold the base steady - it's a lovely birdbath, but very light and blows over unless you anchor it some way. It will make a lovely plant stand, too and maybe the weight of the flower pot will hold it steady

Yes. We staked ours when it was on grass. I can't remember if it comes with the stakes or not though. When not on the grass it was fine. The only time you might have a problem with it not being staked would be if it was extremely windy.

From reviews I've read from others, they have anchored it. There are holes in the bottom of the posts for that.

I am sorry, I can't remember. My husband believes it did but we used our own and used larger hardware and anchors.

Ours came with 14 stakes. However, I always take extras and they came in handy when we camped by a rivermouth. There was a very strong wind coming across the lake and the fiberglass tent poles are so flexible that the side of the tent facing the wind was pushed down half way to the ground, even fully staked. So I had to tie ropes about midway up the poles and stake those down to keep the tent upright. For $100, though, it's a decent 6-person (really, 4 comfortably if you want to have things in it with you) tent. If you think there may be windy conditions, I would pack extra stakes and rope or guy lines. You get what you pay for...

It does have one single 6" plastic stake in the center which seems to hold pretty well. I have some gravel/small rocks around the base which also helps stop movement in the wind.

I use a rock lying around because I take them backpacking and won't carry any extra weight like a hammer or mallet. These replace the simple bent aluminum ones they ship with the tent. Those I throw away because they bend easily. I whack MSR stakes with a rock and they don't bend. No problems yet. As Catfinger said I'm sure you can bend them, but rock hammering them into hard Sierra ground littered with granite hasn't bent any.

I would have to dig it out of the bag and open it to answer your question. I would contact the company. I saw several of these in use on Pawley's Island during May 2014 and they held-up well in high winds without using a pole anchor.

Yes they do.... but... I installed it without anchors and it has been awesome... no issues.

It will blow away if it's not staked down.I did not receive stakes with mine as advertised but I took it to the beach anyway.So,I put sand in about 6 ziploc bags trying to hold it down.Didn't work.So,I ended up sitting in it the whole time.It was a very windy day.If it's not windy,it will stay down.

I have a 28ft tritoon I/O that wights about 6,000lbs empty. My digger holds in stiff wind. Make sure you are following the directions. Specifically, be sure to let out 2.5 times the depth in rope. This give the anchor a chance to dig at the correct angle. The angle of your anchor line is probably too steep.
