Hey everyone! I just bought a 12 X 20 aluminum gazebo, and it's pretty lightweight. It's going to be set up close to a building, so I'm not overly concerned about shear forces. However, pouring concrete isn't an option for me. I'm wondering if there's a way to use concrete anchors with an epoxy or similar product to secure it and prevent lateral movement. Any tips? Thanks a lot!

Just a heads up, asphalt isn't the most reliable surface for anchoring. The main concern isn’t really the lateral movement but more about uplift. So if there's a strong wind, your gazebo might still move. Just something to think about!
Are you looking for a specific kind of asphalt anchor? There are anchors designed for asphalt that might work for your gazebo. Usually, they come in kits that include an epoxy or similar adhesive to help secure it better.
I tried searching for those asphalt anchors and didn’t find much either. I guess they might just be packaged differently than expected.
