Got my son a new one a few months ago and rather not donate it to someone in the neighborhood during the storm. Any tricks besides going fill up sandbags?

Take the springs off and leave the bare frame out.

Flip it upside down and put sandbags on it and the pad

If you're not going to stake it by its legs, flip the thing over and weigh it down

It would be easier to remove the trampoline from the frame.

It probably has netted walls. Not sure he can flip it

Flip it over, put weight on it. Move it close to fence and tie frame to fence post with rope.

Don't those posts come out pretty easily though?

Throw a handful of cinder blocks on it.

Take the trampoline off the frame.
This isn't a brain buster

Flip it upside down & anchor it in the ground. Gotta take the safety net off if you have one

Flip it upside down and throw as man sandbags or quikcrete bags ontop

Write your address on it somewhere

Ratchet straps

when I finally conceded to getting a trampoline here's what I did to make sure it wouldn't fly away:
picked up a couple old railroad ties from a salvage yard and partially buried them to where just the top surface was ground level, then anchored the legs to the ties with proper sized conduit straps like this with 4" deck screws
if a wind comes along that will take that, then I've got much bigger problems

I bought some parachute cord and some yard stakes. Tie one end of the cord to the outer rim of the trampoline and the other to the yard stake... do it about 7 or 8 times evenly spaced.

I have a spiral anchor on mine……it goes down about a foot and a half.
It’s only on one side so I can rotate to mow under it.
