Anchor Trampolines to Avoid them Blowing Away in the Wind

Although trampolines look like large items in the yard, they are actually quite aerodynamic once a good wind catches them. A large flat surface with heavy winds rushing in underneath can create the lift needed to fly across the yard creating damage and even injury.

Recently in Chase County, a resident named Tosha Dains observed an upside down trampoline in the yard. It had been moved from on top of a van where it came to rest after being blown across the yard. The trampoline was not tied down with trampoline ties but they were fortunate nobody was hurt. This particular storm in Elmsdale downed trees and power lines, but you never know when such a powerful storm will roll through, so it is best to get some trampoline ties and secure the trampoline.

Dains did mention that they received a lot of wind and rain along with some pea-sized hail and that the last few times the trampoline was not blown away, but this time is different. So tie down those trampolines!
