Anchoring a Yardistry Direct Gazebo

This anchoring question is often asked to our team, on live chat.  It is a question that is vital to securing a successful build.  Ultimately, it is essential to securely anchor a Yardistry Direct gazebo to the ground.  Yardistry Direct include ground anchor brackets with all cedar gazebos and pavilions. Every kit includes 8 mounting plates (2 per post) for mounting to the base of the post.  These are partially concealed by the decorative plinths.

Gazebo ground mounting plates are included with the kit for anchoring. The image above shows a schematic drawing of the post. The dimensions of the ground mounting plates ensures the gazebo can be correctly and securely affixed to your chosen base. Yardistry Direct do not supply hardware (screws or bolts) for this stage as this will vary depending on whether the gazebo is being affixed to decking, tile or concrete.  Therefore, visiting any good hardware or DIY store is recommended.
