Hmmm, you guys must not get the kind of wind we do here. I used the drive in the ground stakes, and the ties and even tied the velcro tapes that are supposed to hold the cover on the frame into knots as well as pressing the velcro ends together. The framework is nice and securely attached to the ground, and the adjacent building and I had no problem with it. It's just the cover that I can't keep on.
