In preparing for extreme weather, Liri Tent advises that the tent be taken down or the material be dropped to the ground to lower wind resistance. If the tent must stay up, there are a few things that can be done to prepare for winds and heavy rain.
Tension the Tent: If a tent needs to be left up in extreme weather, it is essential that the stakes are protected and the ratchet assemblies and tent top material are as tight as possible. Tension each staking point and include extra stakes and stake plates at corner locations, lace lines, and secondary poles. Be aware that significant rainfall can fill the soil and cause stakes to loosen and potentially fail when incorporated with heavy wind.
Remove the Sidewalls: When high wind is expected sidewalls can be removed from the tent to decrease wind load pressures on the tent. A tent without sidewalls will allow wind to travel through the tent and lower the possibilities of side poles being knocked out.
Add Anti-Sink Pole Plates: For pole tents, set all side poles and set center poles on anti-sink plates. Larger tents might require numerous pole plates stacked on one another at all center, corner and lace line pole places. Anti-sink plates will certainly increase the stability as wind forces are moved onto the poles; this reduces the results of the poles sinking into the soil, making impressions in asphalt, or moving on concrete.
