Summarize this article in one sentence.
Use a hammer or mallet to pound stakes into the ground. Leave 3 to 4 in (7.6 to 10.2 cm) of the pins above the ground so you can easily tie the anchor ropes to them.  Metal stakes can be purchased at hardware stores or specialty outdoor stores. Use a stake on each side of the tent at the corners for additional support. Only use this if you are tying your tent down in grass or dirt. If you are setting up your canopy tent on a hard surface, like concrete, you’ll have to weigh it down. Make 2 loops near the end of the rope so that the end of the left loop is on top of the rope and the end of the right loop is below the rope. Place the right loop over the left loop so they line up. Set the loops over the stake and pull each side of the rope to firmly tighten it.  A clove hitch allows you to adjust the length of the rope easily without undoing the entire knot. Make knots at each of the stakes so the whole tent is secured. Sometimes, the frame will have an anchor to tie the rope to. If not, tie it directly to the horizontal frame at the top of the canopy right next to the support pole. You can use another clove hitch knot or make an overhand knot. Loop the loose end of the rope around the rope pulled taut, making sure the end of the rope goes through the loop. Pull it tight so the excess is taut against the anchor rope. Keep the excess rope up so no one trips or gets tangled up.

Summary:
Drive metal stakes into the ground 6 ft (1.8 m) away from each pole of the tent. Make clove hitch knots with braided rope. Tie the ends of the ropes to the frame of the tent. Tie the excess rope around the taut rope close to the stake.
