Securing Outdoor Furniture in High-Wind Zones
If you live in a region where strong winds are more than just an occasional forecast, you already know the damage they can do. Patio chairs tipped into pools, grills blown across the yard, garden benches shattered in the driveway — it doesn’t take hurricane-force winds to create a mess.
Simple Solution for Hurricanes, Tornadoes, and Everyday Storms
Securing your outdoor furniture is a smart move not only for protecting your belongings, but also for keeping your property and neighborhood safe. And with AnchorHog®, you can do it without leaving permanent hardware in place year-round.
Why Anchoring Matters
When winds pick up, anything that isn’t bolted down becomes a potential projectile. Even heavy items like fire pits or dining sets can shift or topple when gusts reach 40–60 mph — which isn’t uncommon in parts of the Southeast, Midwest, and Gulf Coast.
Unsecured furniture can:
- Damage siding, windows, or vehicles
- Injure people or pets
- Cause liability issues in HOA or rental properties
- End up completely destroyed or lost
What AnchorHog Does Differently
Unlike traditional anchors, AnchorHog gives you a strong, removable anchor point. It installs securely into common surfaces like concrete, brick, or stone using a patented sleeve-and-screw system — and it can be removed or relocated as needed.
It’s ideal for:
- Grills (especially high-end models)
- Outdoor furniture (tables, chairs, benches)
- Deck boxes and storage bins
- Portable sheds or tool cabinets
- Umbrella bases and shade structures
With AnchorHog, you don’t need to commit to a permanent setup or clutter your patio with bulky solutions. It’s a clean, discreet system that stays out of the way — until you need it.
Tips for Anchoring Outdoor Furniture
- Identify the wind-prone zones in your yard — Open corners, near fences, or elevated decks are common trouble spots.
- Use one anchor per key item — In the example of a lightweight bench: install AnchorHog, then attach both ends to locked cables to hold it down.
- Choose your fasteners wisely — Pair AnchorHog with weather-resistant padlock and cables for long-term use. Obviously, AnchorHog locks and cables are crucial for additional security.
- Test before the storm hits — Make sure your anchors are tightened and your setup is secure.
- Remove when not in use — If you’re storing items for the season, you can remove the padlock and cable from AnchorHog and reinstall later with no hassle.
A Better Way to Be Storm-Ready
You can’t control the weather — but you can take simple steps to protect your property. AnchorHog gives homeowners in high-wind areas a reliable, flexible option for securing valuable outdoor items without sacrificing convenience or curb appeal.
