Thread: keeping things from falling over...

Tweet

Not sure how the weather is around your area, but fall is always a bit windy around here. I have a table set up on our porch with a black table cloth and a variety of things on it (candles, ect.) how could I keep it all from blowing over every night. Our porch is covered, but still has a bit of a wind channel. Any one else deal with this?

If you don't mind a couple of small holes in your(wooden?) porch and table, attach some "L" brackets to the legs and floor. Two mounted on opposite corners should be sufficient.

Any way to work pavers or regular bricks into the decor on top of the table? Might make it more stable. Or do you have slats or posts as part of the rail that you could zip-tie two of the table legs to? Hope these ideas help, good luck!

I love zip-ties and 50lb test fishing line.

I have used bailing wire to hold small things down, which works great if you can tie it around something or screw it down. It also helps from small things from disappearing.

Big spikes or stakes to stake things to the ground and 3' pieces of rebar for larger items!
