Securing Sirius Dome for high winds

TS225 (John) · #1 23-09-2010, 06:47 PM

Hi All,
I have an early 2.3m Home Dome and wondering if there is any way to additionally secure the dome in high wind. I currently run a strap over the dome and secure to piles.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
John Field

Have a look at Houghy's and my thread on the storm tie downs, this should give you an idea. simple and effective.

What about a form of netting over the dome and tether it to the ground as you would a tent?
