What sort of rope should I use to tie it down? I will probably place this on our driveway, any advice?

To anchor on a hard surface like cement, most people use sandbags. You'll want to tie them to the loops on each corner of the bouncer. We recommend using about 40-50lbs on each corner.

Use a Half Hitch Knot & then using a Heat Shrink Product, Wrap the left over Tail end of the Bungy cord back to the main Line. Scott

get some tie down straps from your local auto parts store or Lowes or Tractor Supply Company. They will have a hook at each end and an adjusting buckle to tighten it down.

3/8, 7/16, or 1/2 inch nylon rope would work fine. Becareful not to exceed the tensile strength of whatever rope you use. Cheers.

I would not recommend using rope. You need some type of steel strand which needs to be as tight as possible between two trees.

yes. U would need to buy and bigger stack from a hardware store and nail it in the cement. You can also tie the rope to a fence.

It would be sad to tape or glue a nice, natural fiber rope. And, none of them will last as long as the rope -- especially if exposed to the weather.Google "Matthew Walker knot", "Wall and crown knot" or "Manrope knot" if you can have a small knob on the end of the rope. If not, try a "Whipping knot". All will hold up better and will look better, too.

I don't even use a anchor. I purchased some thin rope at tractor supply...tied it around a tree...made a loop big enough for my battle rope. Spent 5 $

Paracord would work probably just as well however it is more of a static line. When training a dog that likes to run away, you want something with a little stretch to it. Also I would be concerned about the inner strands getting pulled out when the rope is on the ground getting pulled around by the dog. This is more of an issue if you work your dog in thickets and brambles. My last concern is that 550 paracord is very slick and thin, trying to control your dog my be difficult when you cannot get a good grip on it.

We use it in the driveway quite often. Just get a bag of sand from your local hardware store and place on the back of the net. It holds it down just fine.

There aren't any tie downs or stakes with this item. It's also very lightweight, so I'd suggest keeping it in a very sheltered area - a protected porch or corner of your yard - or keeping it indoors.

We used sand bag weight son ours and it works fine. If you are in a windy area then I would recommend ropes.
