All youse' crafty buggers out there....
I need to somehow secure my 8 post sun shelter to the concrete skid pad at Eastern creek, to stop it taking off if the wind picks up.....
Looking for the lightest/easiest suggestions?????
Preferrably NOT involving 2 ton of sand!

Cheers Greg..

Concrete blocks, half blocks, 200x200x200 would be best. Full blocks are too large 200x200x400 (190x190x390 to be exact). Easy to tie rope around.

Could take a cordless hammer drill and sink some dyna-bolts into their concrete, but I don't think they'd be overly appreciative.

a 20L plastic drum on each post, fill them with water and tie the rope through the handle.
