The Best Way To Anchor A Trampoline

- We have some storms blowing in and our trampoline is at risk of blowing away. We are going to anchor the trampoline and figure out how to keep the trampoline from blowing away in the storm.
Follow along as we explore and learn to build a homestead in middle Tennessee. In 2016 we packed up our three kids and decided to leave suburban life in order to rediscover our love of outdoors, and learn the necessary skills to build a homestead from scratch. Learn with us as we begin to grow a garden, raise chickens, hunt and forage for food and live life to its fullest.

Thanks so much for sharing this!! I’ve had to learn many things on TH-cam since losing my husband to cancer 5 years ago. We’ve had 2 trampolines blow away during storms. The first, my husband fished out of our pond and was able to straighten it back out and set up lol. But the net was destroyed so I bought a new one with the net. I think my daughters, now 10 & 6, the two youngest of our 4…got to jump on it only a month before a storm picked it up and twisted it like a pretzel. I made the mistake of securing the bars on the ground not thinking about how they come apart🤦🏻♀️So you gave me the best idea so far on securing and something I don’t have to hunt for help or pay someone. Thank you again😁
Thanks Amy for the encouraging words. I hope your girls will be able to find enjoyment even after the fiercest storms blow through. I’m sure that with a strong and determined example like yourself in their life they will be able to.
Strapped while strapping. Respect!
You never know when something might jump and get ya.
Must be ridiculously terrifying living in America. Strapped just to put some anchors in your daughters trampoline. What’s the world come to.
@@malicem1048 if you don't understand, then we wouldn't expect you to get it.
To help while doing this, ive always used a foot and a half steel bar to run through the handle of the ground anchor. This makes twisting it into the ground VERY EASY. Best wishes and happy upcoming holidays to all
Trying this tomorrow to prepare for Hurricane Ian. Thanks
How you guys hold up in the Hurricane?
@@HurricaneHomestead we weren’t as badly impacted as initially projected - lots of debris and trees everywhere but luckily external damage is at a minimum. As of yet. I went with 10 sandbags on trampoline since it seemed everyone had the same idea with the method you demonstrated. I’ll be more prepared for next year. Thank you for checking and responding ! Lot of help needed in SWFL
I was a bit concerned until you gave the straps the tug test and uttered the magic words "That's not going anywhere". 😂 Realistically, unless you have hurricane force winds, it'll probably stay put.
Apparently they held up well. The storms blew through last night and we still have a trampoline in the place that we left it.
😂🤣
Ours blew over our fence this week and into an irrigation ditch. This was helpful, thank you!
Thank you. I was just going to hammer some u steaks over the bars on the ground, but I like those anchors and the ratchet strap A LOT so I’m going to do that too. Super secure. It’s going to be perfect. Thanks again! 😊
Glad I seen this video! Thank you!
This was sooooo helpful thank you for the video!
You’re welcome. I’m so glad I was able to be helpful.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the anchors have worked during the storms. Stay safe over the stormy weekend! HNY.
I'm glad to report that we still have a trampoline, and it's still in the place we put it!
I used some earth anchors I got for trapping, so far so good with only two of them and winds currently gusting into the 40mph range
Thank I’m going to try it. I’m in California and we had a storm a while ago that blew my grandsons trampoline in the air into my neighbors fence and tree. Lol sadly it took out the Hole fence and landed in the tree... lol hopefully this will work for next year
We have had some major tornado producing storms with very high winds here recently and we’ve not had any trouble with the trampoline. Hope this works out for you!
Thanks for the tips. Has anyone ever told you that you resemble the character Charlie from Always Sunny? That's a good thing!
I was thinking the same thing 🤣🤣😂
Thank you for sharing this...Have you had any issues in the past year since you first posted this?
We’ve not had any problems at all. Still anchored down right where we put it.
Until it’s Hurricane Florence moving at 4mph dumping feet of water. The ground gets so soft. My 8ft fence fell over
Sometimes you have to know when to count your losses. Sorry about your fence.
Hey All. Going to use the same anchors, but had another idea for bad storms since I can't take any chance of mine blowing around the neighborhood. What if I undid some of the springs on 2 "sides" to let wind through. Then just fold over the unsecured flaps of the jumping surface and wrap and secure with a few bungee cords so they're not whipping in the wind? Logical? Possibly effective? Time consuming, but want to stack the odds when wicked storms blow through.
What about on synthetic grass?
How long are your spiral anchors?
I believe the ones I used were 18” stakes.
How big is your trampoline?,because I’m getting a 16ft and I’m for sure gonna need lots of anchors
Ours is only 14ft and two have done well to keep it put even in 60mph+ winds.
What is the length of the ratchet straps that you used?
They were pretty short. Only about 8ft, but the great thing about ratchet straps, it doesn’t matter how long they are you can always pull them tight before you ratchet them down. Then cut the excess off if you need to.
We have a hurricane coming to FL. You think this will keep a trampoline down during a hurricane?
It’s held ours in 60mph winds without a problem, but I think I might reenforce it a bit more and maybe take off the trampoline fabric before things get nasty. Y’all stay safe.
Where did you find those anchors?
Pick them up from the pet aisle in Tractor Supply.
Thank you, but I'm scared of hitting my sprinkle system.
No problem. We’re all scared of something. 👍
So what was the outcome did it work getting one for my kids for Christmas need to make sure this bad boy don't go anywhere. Don't want to pay for a fence car a dog lol
It’s worked great. We’ve had several really strong storms and the thing hasn’t budged.
Do you remove the net when the winds get high? To prevent the poles from bending?
We have not and haven’t had any issues with it.
Nieghbor just put one up doesnt look like he anchored it 😮.
Sounds like you’ll have a trampoline soon.
Have you had any issues with them being pulled out?
None at all. And we’ve had major thunderstorms, tornados in our area and the biggest flood we’ve had in 10 years.
"That ain't going anywhere."
Immediately blows away and there was no breeze at all ..... 😂😂😂😂
Wouldn’t that have been something… but no, can’t even get to to blow away in the tornado we had last week.
Is the hidden Easter egg a 17 or 19
Probably would have been stronger if you anchored the corners rather than the middle of the side span.
I walked around that thing 3 times, but still couldn’t see any corners. 😂 but really, there is an attachment joint right where the legs are and if I had anchored it there it could possibly come loose. Anchoring it between the legs like that actually put more pressure on both supports keeping them firmly on the ground. It’s held up very well even in the 60 mph winds we had the other day. The wind bent the poles holding up the netting, but the trampoline didn’t move an inch.
@@HurricaneHomestead LOL. Looking at it again, it is a circle, so wouldn't have the same corners as mine being an octagonal. I think where the T's are that support the leg uprights would be the stoutest metal to attach to. Anytime you have 40mph + winds, it should be strapped down. So if your's survived the 60mph, you are good to go. We have 90mph gusts out in the South West where I live, and so I'm looking to do this too real soon.
Won't those ratchets rust and break over time?
Been there for over a year and I’ve not had any issues. Still holding tight.
Ye sir, they will .......in 32 1/2 yrs
Came here after my son's trampoline blew next door and rested on top of my neighbours car.
So when is horrible bosses 3 coming out?
You did it wrong! Haha jk
I should re-name my play list to “How To (do it wrong)”
