Used in stable soil conditions. Rope and Pole tents are staked approximately 4-6' from the perimeter of the tent at each guy line; frame tents are usually anchored within 2' of base. Stake length and diameter are a function of the soil conditions, duration of rental, and type of tent.

Gang staking is sometimes used on larger tents to increase stake capacity. Some examples include construction sites or gardens where soil is loosely compacted, sandy, wet or for longer duration rentals.

A 3/4" or 1" hole drilled in pavement or asphalt. We will fill with an asphalt plug upon completion

We drill a 5/8-1" hole and insert a permanent drop anchor. During tent erection we use an eyebolt to tie off to. Upon completion we remove the eyebolt, fill with grease and insert a hex head cap to keep out debris. This ONLY works on pavement and is an especially good method if you think you may want to put up a similar tent in the future.

Future jobs with same holes, no cost.

This method is used when we absolutely can't drill, such as tent erections on inlaid brick, decks of boats, proximity to fiber optics etc... The primary use of water barrels is to secure frame tents (vertical forces). Rope and pole tents cannot be held in place with water barrels, as they exert both vertical and lateral forces. The customer is responsible for supplying a water source.
