An earlier review of patio umbrella to run-off rain-water worked for me. So I put the 12x12 on top of my umbrella and outdoor table (see photo). I had to use the ropes on several corners to tie the tent to patio roof, tree-branch, along with the sand bags, My windy backyard sometimes tear off my green-house garden. So far with the tie-up of the tent to my patio-roof, tree-branch,green-house-pole, it's been steady. Tee rain fell for several days in Phoenix, and the tent stays up.I use it for video recording studio and its cool, in that the camera can see-through to the backyard landscape for good background! Voila!
