Best/Easiest Method to Anchor Pop Up Tents on the Beach
Posted on 5/22/14 at 1:40 pm

I think the typical spiral anchor like for dog leashes and stuff is too thick of metal to go in the itty bitty hole on the foot of the tent. The 8 inch spike ain't gonna hold crap in sand.

ive always just dug a hole for each tent leg and buried it in sand

Zip tie the tent to the anchor through the tiny hole.

probably will have to do, hope its not too breezy. Beaches are often difficult with wind.

if this doesn't work, then the wind is too strong anyway and is going to rip your tent to shreds.

3-5 gallon pails, fill with sand and anchor corners with twine

that's gotta be heavy though carrying up and down every day to and from the condo though.

Ice chests in the corners with bungee cords.

With either your mother on mother-in-law back at the pool at the beachhouse/condo. Beach time is beer drinking adult time.

Yep.
However, If you think it's gonna be windy you could get some gallon ice cream tubs and use them to make a pedestal with a threaded rod just smaller than the anchor hole on the bottom of the leg. Then just put them down, slide the end of the leg on the threaded road and twist a nut on. This would also help get the tent about a foot higher if you wanted.
FYI, if it's windy enough to require all of this shite the fabrics gonna rip to shreds.
