Put concrete corner blocks down. 50 x 50 x 50 would be like 300-400kg. You could set a raw bolt into them and Bob's yer uncle. :D

Trampoline will help you catch it if it tries to lift off too.

Yeah. Sandbags are cool. They'll help. All depends on how windy it gets. The anchor load goes up hugely with small amounts more wind. Half-rho x V squared and all that jazz. :teehee:

I am still thinking about that.

 

It really depends on how level the lawn is.

 

I might leave it as lawn under there and see how i go or raise the Mini up another pallet's height and then get a few pallets and screw/strap them together side by to create some council house decking around the car :-)
