I got tired of sweeping leaves out of the Tolman every time I wanted
to use her. So, I bought one of those shelters with a heavy canvas
type roof over a tubular steel frame from Shelter Logic. It isnt
bad. It is 26' X 12' with 2" steel tubing frame powder coated.
Roughly $400. It went together very well. I looked into various
schemes to anchor it but the mobile home screw in anchors were
expensive and serious overkill. However, I found screw in type tent
anchors at Wal Mart for $3.50 each and I put one next to each leg and
tied the leg base to it.

My shelter, $200 from Costco, I screwed 2x4's to the legs and set concrete
blocks on them. But we rarely get hurricane winds.
