Tent Anchor Types

Ropevs Ratchet Buckles
Tents can be anchored down by using either rope tie downs or ratchet buckles and straps. Each method of anchoring is effective, but there are significant differences.

Rope tie downs have been the original type of anchoring system since the Indians first erected tepees. The ropes are the most common type of tie down in the tent industry. They are connected to the tent top and then tie off at the stakes. The biggest pro for the rope system is the price. A rope system is the cheapest way to anchor a tent.




Ratchet buckles are a new innovation in the tent industry. The ratchet buckle is attached to the stake and then it fastens to a strap that is attached to the tent top, at this point the ratchet is now able to be tightened down holding the tent in place. The major pro’s for the ratchet buckle and strap system is the efficiency they provide versus the rope system. The ratchets allow for a reduction in labor costs because they are much easier to use and can be tightened by only one person. The ratchets are also much stronger and require less maintenance. The only real down fall of a ratchet system is they are more expensive than ropes.


 



When anchoring a tent using either ropes or ratchets, the stakes need to be driven completely vertical at a distance that is half the height of the side pole (approximately 42” – 48”). This will create a 45 degree angle, which will produce vertical forces that are equivalent to the lateral forces on the stake resulting in the strongest point of reference.
Unless you are familiar with rope anchors, we recommend ratchet anchors in all situations for all tent types.
