Anchoring Requirements (Non-Certified Tents)
Non-certified tents are not engineered to meet specific wind loads. Wind loads
are approximate and are generally rule of thumb calculations used in the industry
based on actual field experience. Windload of a non-certified tent will vary to a
maximum of approximately 30 mph to 50 mph dependent upon the style or type of
tent. The structural integrity of the tent may exceed the soil's holding capacity
even at wind loads of 30 mph to 50 mph.
Frame tents will require approximately 1000 to 2000 lbs of holding power per
anchor location (dependant on the style and size of tent). For safety of all
occupants, evacuation is recommended if weather becomes severe.
Severe storms have micro bursts of wind that may be recorded far in excess of
the storms highest winds. The installer is responsible for properly securing the
temporary structure (tent). Soil conditions will vary and the wind loads that the
temporary structure can handle could be significantly below its windload
capabilities.
