HOW TO REINFORCE AND STABILIZE TANK STANDS
Sand Bags if you’re running long spans of string lights and you’re concerned about tipping the poles over you can add sandbags to the top of the tank for extra stability. Fill the sandbags with sand approximately half full so they can lay flat and blend in with the tank or fit under the tank slipcover if you ordered one. Position the sandbags on the opposite side of the tank from the direction that the lights are pulling. Add multiple sandbags if needed.
Staking if you’re setting up on grass or sand tie a 3’ piece of black parachute cord in a loop around the pole. Slide the cord down to where the pole and the top of the tank meet. Angle the cord on the opposite side of the tank from the direction that the lights are pulling. Use an 8” spike to anchor the cord down to the ground.
TANK ADDITIONAL TIPS
• Use black zip ties to secure string lights in the carabiner clips
• Use a slightly damp cloth to spot clean (if needed). Wipe dry with a clean dry cloth.
