Found something that really holds down a tent or canopy ! I've been camping and setting up tents for many years in ALL kinds of weather. Everything from FL afternoon storms to MI nasty summer weather. If weight is NOT a problem 4 or 6" "T-Bolts" from your local water deptwork extreemly well. These are the bolts that hold water line fittings togather in the cities water systems. The threads on the bolts hold in almoast all soils. And the are easy to put in and remove with a light weight hammer. OR...... 6 or 8" pieces of re-rod. I have used 1/2 " cement re-rod repeatedly with very good results. These are also a bit heavy to be carring on a long hike but lighter than the T-bolts.
GOOD LUCK.......... JUST HOPE THE WIND DOESN'T BLOW !
