I want to attach a 10'x10' gazebo to the cement next to our in-ground pool. My husband is worried about the strong winds we get through our backyard. Is it possible that the winds will rip the gazebo up out of the cement and ruin our cement?

We have one of those Gazebos on our back patio as well. My husband doesn't want to drill holes into the stamped colored concrete either. My husband said he is going to get 4 pails/pots, paint them up nicely like my flower pots, place the four corner poles, one in each pot, and pour cocrete mix in around the pole in the pot. That way it is weighted, but not permanently destroying our cement.

my husband says that if you anchor it down and the winds are THAT strong, he doubts that it will rib up the concrete, it will tear the gazebo apart first...and if you don't anchor it and your winds are THAT strong, it will blow over and break that way!?
You could try 5 gallon buckets. Put the legs in and fill with sand or gravel. Or mine has little flanges at the bottom where the nails can go through. I put heavy bricks on the flanges and it held it down.

As someone whose neighbor's patio umbrellas have occasionally landed in our yard, I am interested in the answers!
You might have to install a wooden gazebo.
