Patio rug blowing away?

We use the nails and washers too. But when the ground is rocky or too hard, we put rocks at the corners, I have dim solar lights that I place by the rock. That way I can see them in the dark.

:B LOL

I can honestly say mine has never moved. I do realize that my first time out this year it will now probably blow away!:B

It will soon be frozen solid to the ground and the wind won't move it for several months. :(

If you don't remember it, it probably never happened :)

I use the plastic lids from coffee cans. Just nail them in flush in each corner with a large nail. Got the idea from a fellow camper.

We use the 'empty' milk cartons too. That said, some enterprising person could come up with a really great 'invention'.

I've thought of a tube made out of rubber or canvas, remember the old water bags we carried on the front of our cars for overheating crossing the desert?, that could be rolled up for easy storage and brought out and filled with water to weight down the rug. I'm thinking of something like those bright green hoses that sell for $19.95 only larger.....Dennis

Contributes to tripping over the rocks when it ain't even dark :)

Yeah, but you don't feel it, nor remember it....:B:B....Dennis

I always put the cooler full of beer on it. Would never go camping without that!

I tried that to, but they both ended up empty.
