Its what I would do maybe in except for the most sheltered of locations and for a very brief period of use. Maybe make some heavy anchor points for some slung over-the-top strops/ropes with something like postcrete.  |
Sadly the OEM instructions don't hold up in a UK winter storm. I had damage, but only to gardening equipment and a mower, so nothing too bad really. So I postcreted all of the four corner anchors and had to replace the wire ties provided with solid bolts which went right through the frame. Then boards clamped onto the gable ends to stop them flapping. Then we moved house and I left the tent for the new owners to deal with.
