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.

Came here for information, but I have to say it- you look JUST like Charlie Day! Normally don’t comment stuff like that, but had to say it! Thanks for the information! Very helpful!👍🏻🙏🏻

@HurricaneHomestead 13 дней назад

Personally I think Charlie looks like me. IMO

@sarahking5125 23 дня назад

Very informative This changed my life

Where in the business of changing lives here! Thanks for watching.

@amylynngriffith Год назад

Thanks so much for sharing this!! I’ve had to learn many things on RU-vid 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😁

@HurricaneHomestead Год назад

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.

@tophermcloafur7806 Год назад

Strapped while strapping. Respect!

@HurricaneHomestead Год назад

You never know when something might jump and get ya.

@malicem1048 if you don't understand, then we wouldn't expect you to get it.

@shanninrenee8617 2 года назад

Ours blew over our fence this week and into an irrigation ditch. This was helpful, thank you!

@Soulful_Chaos 2 года назад

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! 😊

@johnnylara Год назад

Trying this tomorrow to prepare for Hurricane Ian. Thanks

@HurricaneHomestead Год назад

How you guys hold up in the Hurricane?

@johnnylara Год назад

@@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

@andreaws2 2 года назад

Glad I seen this video! Thank you!

@shanghunter7697 Год назад

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

@JacobsTriangleHomestead 3 года назад

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.

@HurricaneHomestead 3 года назад

Apparently they held up well. The storms blew through last night and we still have a trampoline in the place that we left it.

@coreykhharden 6 месяцев назад

😂🤣

@LizZorab 3 года назад

I'm looking forward to seeing how the anchors have worked during the storms. Stay safe over the stormy weekend! HNY.

@HurricaneHomestead 3 года назад

I'm glad to report that we still have a trampoline, and it's still in the place we put it!

@justforfun4623 2 года назад

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

@jenniferm6140 2 года назад

This was sooooo helpful thank you for the video!

@HurricaneHomestead 2 года назад

You’re welcome. I’m so glad I was able to be helpful.

@eugenia7118 3 года назад

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

@HurricaneHomestead 3 года назад

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!

@nobodyimportant9231 3 года назад

Thanks for the tips. Has anyone ever told you that you resemble the character Charlie from Always Sunny? That's a good thing!

@Ice_muncher1 2 года назад

I was thinking the same thing 🤣🤣😂

@louisebrislane6607 22 дня назад

I would have had at least four straps put down & possibly if I knew it was going to be gale force winds I would take the netting down on the sides.

@HurricaneHomestead 18 дней назад

The netting has been a problem. It bent one of the support poles holding the net up in one storm. But the trampoline didn’t budge an inch.

@michaelroco6065 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing this...Have you had any issues in the past year since you first posted this?

@ShaphanS 2 года назад

We’ve not had any problems at all. Still anchored down right where we put it.

@eddiem5416 4 месяца назад

What about on synthetic grass?

@jayboz034 3 месяца назад

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.

@SuperDanGee 3 года назад

How long are your spiral anchors?

@HurricaneHomestead 3 года назад

I believe the ones I used were 18” stakes.

@skaterdude14b 7 месяцев назад

Until it’s Hurricane Florence moving at 4mph dumping feet of water. The ground gets so soft. My 8ft fence fell over

@HurricaneHomestead 7 месяцев назад

Sometimes you have to know when to count your losses. Sorry about your fence.

@DR-pi5wp Год назад

What is the length of the ratchet straps that you used?

@HurricaneHomestead Год назад

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.

@shaunagolombeski1696 2 года назад

Do you remove the net when the winds get high? To prevent the poles from bending?

@HurricaneHomestead 2 года назад

We have not and haven’t had any issues with it.

@batstreet4022 Год назад

How big is your trampoline?,because I’m getting a 16ft and I’m for sure gonna need lots of anchors

@HurricaneHomestead Год назад

Ours is only 14ft and two have done well to keep it put even in 60mph+ winds.

@My3.Boys. Год назад

We have a hurricane coming to FL. You think this will keep a trampoline down during a hurricane?

@HurricaneHomestead Год назад

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.

@courtneysteelman7102 Год назад

Where did you find those anchors?

@HurricaneHomestead Год назад

Pick them up from the pet aisle in Tractor Supply.

@kayhernandez5547 2 года назад

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

@HurricaneHomestead 2 года назад

It’s worked great. We’ve had several really strong storms and the thing hasn’t budged.

@moto45006ify 3 года назад

Have you had any issues with them being pulled out?

@HurricaneHomestead 3 года назад

None at all. And we’ve had major thunderstorms, tornados in our area and the biggest flood we’ve had in 10 years.

@ttof80biz Год назад

Thank you, but I'm scared of hitting my sprinkle system.

@HurricaneHomestead Год назад

No problem. We’re all scared of something. 👍

@jamesfrancis303 3 года назад

Is the hidden Easter egg a 17 or 19

@franksergi9451 Год назад

Won't those ratchets rust and break over time?

@HurricaneHomestead Год назад

Been there for over a year and I’ve not had any issues. Still holding tight.

@shanghunter7697 Год назад

Ye sir, they will .......in 32 1/2 yrs

@Oakcliffmade09 2 года назад

So when is horrible bosses 3 coming out?

@KarasCyborg Год назад

Probably would have been stronger if you anchored the corners rather than the middle of the side span.

@HurricaneHomestead Год назад

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.

@KarasCyborg Год назад

@@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.
