Nine metal stakes and four wind ropes are supplied with this 63 x 63 x 72 in dome, which is more anchoring hardware than most covers this size include and reflects how much sail area a 6 ft structure catches in an exposed yard. The waterproof, tear-resistant PE cover sheds rain and diffuses light rather than scorching leaves, and the powder-coated frame stays rust-free through a wet winter. Weight is only 8 lbs, so two people can lift the whole assembled shell over a bed of shrubs to protect them for a cold week and take it off again in spring.
