Before You Stake
By Law you are required to contact your local “Call before you dig” number before you plan to dig or drive tent
stakes / anchors. After calling, your local utility companies will mark the location of all underground utility lines.
Laws from state to state vary on how far in advance you must call. Planning ahead and checking with your state’s
program is always a smart idea. Failure to obtain a utility line location before digging can result in a substantial
fine or serious injury. Please find your local “call before your dig number” in the contacts section of this manual.
Prior to staking, be sure that no underground utilities are present. Celina is not responsible for meth

ods that installers may choose to erect and secure the tent, canopy, structure, or shelter to the site surface. Celi

na’s responsibility is limited to the manufacture of the tent parts and materials. It is the installer’s responsibility,
not Celina’s, to determine the appropriate number of stakes to meet the necessary wind loads on the installation
site.
Soil and setup conditions can vary greatly between installation sites. It is the installer’s responsibil

ity to be sure the staking is adequate for each site on each setup. Additional staking, tiebacks, and/or stake
bars may be required in order to safely setup and secure the product.
The number of stakes suggested in this manual routinely does not meet the relevant local codes of
the installation site. The number of stakes included in the standard kit will, in most cases, keep the tent, canopy,
structure, or shelter setup. Due to various soil conditions the standard staking kit may be inadequate to keep the
tent secure in high winds and wet or threatening weather. Regardless of the number of stakes included in stan

dard kits, Celina makes no representation or warranty as to whether this is sufficient to meet the requirements
for your installation site(s).
