Suggestion for tieing down inside a large hangar with frequently open doors:
(ok, so my plane only has a wing loading of 6oz. per sq. foot)

8 bags of cement, one Rubbermaid plastic tote bin, 4 24" sections of 3/8"
rebar, and 8 6" sections of 2" pvc pipe.

Big chunks of concrete! I haven't seen that one in a while. I
recall an FBO along the Alaska Highway (Ft. Nelson I think) that had a
similar system. The guy rolls out a couple of tires filled with
concrete (about 100 lbs. each), with an anchor and rope attached. He
asked if I needed tiedowns. I mentioned that a couple of tires filled
with concrete were not likely to keep my plane from flying away in a
stiff wind. His response : "Yeah, I know that, but it seems to make
the pilots feel better when we use them".
