Mine is anchored with rebar, if a storm comes I have 2 trees close by that I ratchet strap it to. It may tear or break but it's not going to go anywhere and cause more damage.

Like me and a couple others said: just take the giant sail in the middle off. Put it back on after the storm.

If you can get it on its side up against a tree or something as long as you stay in the direction of windflow there will be very little exposed surface area.

Flip it over.

If your trampoline has a net around it edit the OP so all these jack legs will stop saying “flip it over”
I’m debating on taking the nets and the springs out or just ratchet strapping the shite out of it to my heavy play set.

Get a bucket of KFC and throw on it. Wait for a couple of overweight neighborhood Karen’s to munch down & fall asleep on it to weigh it down until the storm passes.
Not sure that this will work, but you could try it.

Ground screw anchors ant the hardware store and ratchet straps. Put at least 2 anchors in the ground and then strap it.
You don’t need one this long, but similar to this.
And how many of you dumbasses don’t realize trampolines have nets now? You can’t turn it upside down.

Te the safety net off and flip it. Put some heavy duty 12" u shaped spikes down on frame.

Moved ours between some big trees and will strap or chain it to the trees later.

I put mine in the corner and tie to quadrants to the fence, the third tie down is a trashcan filled with water as an anchor.

All the down votes for taking the trampoline off of the frame must mean that there's idiots that don't know how to actually put them on correctly. It's not real hard if you know what you're doing. Just a lot of walking back and forth from one side to the other.

We put ours in the ground. Dug a hole with a backhoe and put gravel in the bottom. The trampoline is level with the ground. Also, it is safer. We did this after the third trampoline ended up on the fence about 1,000 yards away.

probably has netted walls. Not sure he can flip it
My netted walls slid right out of the frame. Not even screwed in. We flipped ours before Laura, but I purchased anchor stakes soon after Laura passed.

Just let it go.

Not all of our kids are future gays, like yours.

Still not hard to take those posts out and flip it.

Jump on it during the storm and see how high you can go

Screw in trailer anchors and ratchet strap the piss out of it
