Wind and the Yurt

[mbear]

I live in a high wind area. Wild arctic storms come through frequently. I have ropes over my yurt to tie it to the platform. I have large U-bolts that connect the lattice to the platform. Both were suggested to me by the yurt manufacture. They also suggested putting in rebar posts down below the frost line and running guy lines from the bars to the yurt. I haven't done that nor felt the need to do that. My plan should a larger than usual wind storm come through here is to do run cable from the

center ring

down to jerry cans of water or directly to the floor.
