What is the recommended method for anchoring the Landscape Square table in outdoor settings?

Ensuring your Landscape Square table remains stable and secure in outdoor environments is crucial for both safety and longevity. The recommended method for anchoring depends primarily on your installation surface.

For permanent installation on concrete patios or similar hardscapes, the most effective technique involves using concrete anchors or sleeve anchors. First, position the table precisely where you want it. Using the pre-drilled holes in the table's base as a template, mark the anchor points on the ground. Drill pilot holes into the concrete using a masonry bit, then insert the anchors. Finally, place the table over the holes and tighten the bolts securely through the base and into the anchors. This creates a robust, fixed connection that can withstand strong winds.

If you're installing on a wooden deck, use large lag screws or bolts that penetrate deeply into the deck's underlying joists for a solid hold. Avoid attaching solely to the deck boards, as they lack sufficient strength.

For temporary security or use on grass or gravel, consider a ground anchor system. These typically involve auger-style anchors that screw into the soil, with cables or straps connecting to the table's legs. This method allows for relocation if needed while providing significant resistance to tipping.

Regardless of the method, always use corrosion-resistant, weatherproof hardware such as stainless steel or galvanized fittings. Regularly check the tightness of all connections, especially after severe weather, to maintain ongoing stability and safety for your outdoor gatherings.
