I got a small 1/4-inch piece of web strap and made a small loop and screwed this into the pole near the ground. Now I can use a standard pole stake at an angle to secure all four legs to the ground.
If I really want to make it tied down I will screw into the ground near the straps using those 18-inch long ground anchors that has three inch blades on them. These will screw into the ground and leave no marks when you take them out. I use a standard large screwdriver to screw these into the ground...

I have been using these ground anchors for years now tying down my four corners of my POPUP trailer using 1/2-inch ratchet straps... I first thought these ground anchors would really mess up the ground at the camp sites but they truly are easy to put down and DO NOT leave any marks when they are removed...
I mounted these eye bolts in the corners of my trailer...

in the old days we use to use ropes to run tie downs and after tieing every thing up you almost had to cut them down everytime when you got ready to pack up to leave. I am truly a firm believer now using the 1/2-inch 15-feet long ratchet web belts. You can break camp in just a few minutes using these...
These usually come packaged in four web straps
