What do you do about anchoring it down if it is removeable?
Do you screw plates down to the floor everytime? or remove them?
Its really nice and given me a potential idea for mine

Yes a couple of stainless L brackets on each post (theres only four posts )
The trusses fix with one screw at either end and two timber angle braces on the house wall
It also needs 2 stainless wire strainers on the end farthest from the house.
I had a boat cover man make the canvas roof
Should take around 2 hours to dismantle and 3 hours to erect next time.
It has already put up with 40 mph winds and torential rain

Very nice - lets hope the sun eventually shines - and it becomes a sun canopy and not a rain shelter

I'm afraid if it takes 2hrs to dismantle and 3hrs to erect, at my house it would have a life span of one day!
