I actually used these corkscrew anchors from Home Depot during Ida and nothing moved an inch despite catching an eyewall.

6'-8' Rebar, bend in the middle, drive over base in multiple places and add sand bags for extra

It probably has netted walls.


Then I'd get at least 2 dog spiral anchors and tie the legs of the trampoline to them or find some trailer house anchors and do the same. Easy peezy.

Bring it in the house until the storm's over.

Put screw anchors in the ground. Ratchet strap down. Mines survived for years like that.

Matter of fact, anyone want it? Lol

Flip it upside down, or disconnect all the springs.

I unclip the netted walls, screw in a foot long yard anchor for a dog leash x4 and put ratchet straps on all 4. Ok so far.

You’re calling my kids gay because I know that trampolines are sold with nets and I realize that the majority of customers will install the nets? Low blow, dude. I hope your kids are wonderful and their sexual orientation doesn’t matter to me.

I took some rebar, bent it into a U shape. Then staked it around the base. Worked well

I bought a trampoline hold down kit from Amazon a few years back. There's like 6 screw in anchors and ratchet straps. That thing is solid. It hasn't budged. I've watched it in 50mph winds (my weather station is right next to the trampoline) and it never moved. Some people might thing 6 anchors is overkill, but I didn't want someone suing my homeowner's insurance for a runaway trampoline. The anchors are similar to dog run/restraint anchors. Probably about 18" long.

Get about 10 of the 12-inch galvanized stakes from Lowes and rig something up with some straps and nail them down over the feet of the trampoline

Put your fat arse wife on it. If it doesn't work, there is a silver lining
