One plus sized bikini model from Sports Illustrated ought to do it unless Cat 4+.

Will be making a similar decision this evening. Have 4 ground anchors and ratchet straps holding down the frame, but not sure how the safety netting will hold up after 2 years in the sun. May flip a coin here in Ascension.

I take the net off, flip it upside down and use large dog anchors that I screw into the ground and ratchet straps. It doesn’t budge.

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?




I have a 14'. I've done it a few ways. I took the netting off and flipped, weighing it down with sandbags.

What I have now are helix anchors (they are about 2' long) in the ground, 2 of them, and the tramp is tied down with 400lb ratchet straps. I got the anchors from Lowes (I think they are used for metal buildings) and the straps from Harbor Freight. Got me through Laura, Delta, and a host of other storms here in Lafayette.

Go get four screw in anchors Screw then in around perimeter then ratchet strap the top rail to em. If really concerned undo about 1/4 of springs on one side then 1/4 on the opposite

Frontflip. Backflip if you're up to it.

Flip upside down and stake down the frame into ground.

Ground anchors

I use to have mine attached to these. 3-4 or four of these tied down with rope. 12 years multiple storms. No issue.
