Other methods that you can employ
Ropes, as well as Gazebo Ground Pegs
Pegs and ropes are a common way to stop a pergola from blowing off onto grassy areas. To make sure the gazebo is secure, you need to put the stakes of the pergola into the soil at all of the four corners, just a few meters away. It's then possible to use the strength of a cord or rope to go through the stakes and then over the crossbars on every side of the interior roof. For extra protection in the event of a storm you can add four more pegs. This will give you eight ropes and pegs for the edges and corners of your pergola.
Gazebo Weights
Gazebo legweights are a great option to secure gazebos during high winds. They can be used on any type of ground (concrete or grass ). They come in various designs from cast-iron weights that slide along the feet of the legs in the gazebo. They are also available with bags filled with water that can be attached to the legs. It is suggested to utilize 15-25kg of weight per foot (60-100kg total) to ensure that your gazebo remains secure and safe.
