How to Anchor Down a Trampoline

Technology has improved the durability and longevity of trampolines. Their surface is resistant to sun damage and the springs have been improved. Trampoline improvements have also decreased the overall weight of the device. While a lighter weight allows you to move its location more easily, it also makes the trampoline more susceptible to wind gusts and storms. Anchoring your trampoline will protect the users, and will help limit your liability should it end up down the street after a storm.
