Permanent anchors for tenting

This entry is targeted to the wedding facilities or inn owner that is concerned about tent companies constantly going in and out of gardens or shrubbery.  These permanent tent anchors also enable the site owner to accommodate a slightly larger tent compared with what they typically get for the same spot.  So what are permanent tent anchors?  One version of them are a cam-like mechanism that is installed in the ground and opens up when an upward force is exerted on them. They are attached to a very strong steel cable that attaches to the ratchet straps of the tent. This speeds up the process of tent installation as well as removes any traffic to and from where the tent stake (now replaced with the anchor) would have gone.  As I said before, the anchors enable the tent company to move the stake line to a previously inaccessible line.  This results in the maximum amount of cleared lawn or leveled site to be tented.  A real life example of this is an inn in South Woodstock VT where the site could only accommodate a 50' wide by 80' long tent (stake line of 60' wide x 90' long). We installed tent anchors and now we were able to install a 60' wide tent.  This enabled the inn to increase their maximum wedding size, for a traditional dinner and dancing wedding , by around 50-70 guests.
