*Please note that some frame tents require a Double-Plated Tent Ballasting System. Review your tent set-up guide or contact your sales representative for clarification.
Fill with water from hose, empty through hole near the bottom (take cap off and let water drain)
If subzero temperatures are expected, add antifreeze to the water in your Giffy Tent Ballasting System. We advise using non-toxic RV antifreeze, as auto antifreeze is sweet and attracts animals. Follow directions on the container for correct water-to-antifreeze ratio.
It is important to properly dispose of the used non-toxic RV antifreeze according to local regulations.
The Giffy Tent Ballasting System was created to be an alternative to traditional tent anchoring solutions. It’s an anchoring system that is easy and safe, and gives you the confidence that your tent will stay in place on any surface.
Extraordinary Strength
With a weight of 660 pounds when filled with water, the Giffy Tent Ballasting System provides more mounting strength than your typical 55-gallon barrel at 220 pounds. With the use of the ratchet strap to the bottom of the barrel, open tents can take up to 50 mph winds.
Easy Drainage and Transportation
Within minutes, your Giffy Tent Ballasting System can be drained of water by simply opening the water plug at the bottom of the barrel. When finished draining, they can be stacked in the box of a pickup truck and transported.
