ᐅ Carport Used as a Patio Roof – Post Anchors or H-Anchors?

Hey everyone,

for sunny and rainy days, I want to set up a carport (3m x 5m (10ft x 16ft) – currently on sale at OBI) as a covered seating area in the garden. Is it absolutely necessary to anchor it to the ground with H-anchors, or would it be sufficient to place it in ground sleeves (9cm x 9cm (3.5in x 3.5in)) driven into the ground?

Best regards

A roof like that definitely needs to be storm-resistant. That’s why I would always secure it with proper stainless steel H-anchors set in concrete. It’s certainly more effort, but it makes it last much longer...

Galvanized steel is common. Drive-in sleeves are definitely not sufficient for this purpose! (Just look out the window, it’s stormy again today.)
