How do you secure your drying rack?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
When it gets really windy, my drying rack falls over. Any ideas for securing it or weighing it down? (Don't tell me to bring it inside...stuff dries in half and hour or less when it's windy!!)

What does the bottom of it look like?

If it has any horizontal pieces on or really close to the ground, it could be as simple as a bag or two of sand. I have a European-style one that would work really well with.

I also have an accordian style one which would be a bit more difficult since the bottom horizontal pieces are a good 5" or 6" off the ground. The only thing I could think of would be to get a 2"x4", cut it into about 2' pieces, and screw it to the side of the legs (attaching each 2' piece to one front leg and one back leg). Then, you could put something heavy (such as a sand bag) on the 2"x4"s.

I'm probably making it a lot more difficult than it needs to be, I have a tendency to do that
