Wind stakes or an anchor kit can be used to anchor your trampoline. Wind stakes are U-shaped pegs that you place over your trampoline’s legs and hammer into the ground. Anchor kits are similar to anchor stakes, but instead of a hammer, they have a hook on the end. The hook is used to hold the anchor in place.

How do I keep my trampoline from blowing away?
A trampoline tie-down kit helps prevent your trampoline from blowing over in high winds. You can also use this tie-down kit to tie down a large number of tramps in a row. This is a great way to make sure that you have a good amount of space to work with when you’re working on a big project.
Do trampolines need to be anchored down?
Trampolines should always be anchored into the ground before use. If the trampoline is not anchored, jumping on it can cause it to move and hurt the people on it. A trampoline that is not properly anchored can be moved or even carried away by strong winds.
What do you do with a trampoline during a storm?
If the ground becomes too saturated, the pickets can come loose, even if the trampoline is anchored the right way. The best way to make sure a trampoline doesn’t become a projectile during a storm is to dismantle it until it’s safe to use again.
Do trampoline wind stakes work?
Typically, wind stakes will provide the best stability if they are set at an equal distance from one another. The stakes are two inches apart, which makes them wide enough to fit over most trees.
If the wind is coming from the north, it is best to set your wind stake at the south end of the tree. This will give you a better chance of keeping the stake in place. If you have a large tree, you may want to use two stakes, one at each end.
Should you take down a trampoline in the winter?
Many trampolines are designed with rust-proof materials, which means they don’t have to be taken down during the winter. If you have enough storage space, you can disassemble your trampoline and put it in a dry place. You’ll be able to put it back together if you remove the safety nets, springs, jumping mat and soft frame.
