What is the kit rated for?
You want the attachment points to be tight. Grade 5 or even Grade 8 bolts through both runs.
Some angle braces to keep it square.
Washers to spread the load.
The base bolts into concrete and/or backed up with deep ground implants using cables.

It's sounding quite positive
It's windy here, but one side will be bolted to the house and another side to a concrete wall. The other side will have a large (high density PSI concrete) foundation sitting on the hard rock pan a couple of meters underground. I'll use 304 stainless steel 12mm bolts to hold it together and get it all hot dipped galvanized.
Things really rust here John. I get extra thick galvanizing done and use stainless fasteners wherever I can.
